Funny Stuff Racism is a funny thing... - Page 7

I had a Directv installer here yesterday. So, we were connecting the receivers and he says, "Who's from California? I saw that license plate in your driveway."

I say, "Oh, that's my sister's that lives in Oakland, CA."

Keeping the conversation rolling, I asked, "Have you ever been to the bay area?" FTR, the guy is Asian, with an accent. As I was asking this I had the slight thought(is this racist of me to ask???) I think because I almost asked if he WAS from Cali.

Anyways, in reply he says, "Oh yeah, I've been to Oakland. There's A LOT of black people there."

WTF?!?!?!?

I would never stoop to your level and throw out racist innuendo. I will choose the high road and white knight.

Not in Nor Cal. Its a huge respect thing that goes all the way into the prison system. They will for the most part mind their own business, but there are alot of browns that will hang out with black n vice versa. Especailly in the Bay

Again.

Are there many black people in Oakland? Yes.
There are more white people in Oakland. Why didn't he say that instead?
http://www.bayareacensus.ca.gov/cities/Oakland.htm

I'm not saying the guy is a bigot, but if we had been talking about Chicago and he said that, again I'd be wondering, "So WTF is the point your making?"

Maybe I should have titled this, "Stating obvious race demographics is a funny thing." (Mods if you feel so inclined, please do.)

When I think of Oakland, I think of great weather, not "holy cow, so many black people!"

Oh and screw all you people, mainly Phil for calling me out. Yeah I posted in this thread. And? I ain't scared of no rope. Bring it, I can outrun you.

And btw. White people call me white all the time.

Hispanics aren't mexicans, but mexicans are hispanics.

Mexican is a nationality. Hispanic is a culture.

Hispanic = not a race of people

The Asian installer is just jealous of black people because they have bigger coax cables than Asians.

you should have said "yeah, and if you hop across the bay, it's infested with asians"
