Hey kids, your favorite black barista here. So I am the only person of color employed at my specific shop (I live in suburbia and it’s a living hell), and today we had this as our trivia question (answer is B). I didn’t pick it, although almost every white person who came in assumed I did. I thought I’d share some of the gems I heard because of it:

Older White Man who always answers the trivia every single fucking day and has NEVER complained about the questions: Who the hell cares?? They’re all idiots anyway. I hate this question. White Co-Worker: Couldn’t agree more! Me: *horrified silence*

White Woman: Wow this is a tough one, I don’t think many people who come in here listen to rap music. Do I look like I listen to rap music? *laughs* Me: Well I’m pretty sure you don’t need a certain look to listen to music, just…ears. So yeah, you do! White Woman: Oh…sure…

12 different White Customers throughout my shift: Did you write this question?

White Woman #2: Why would you choose a question that only certain people would know? Me: *almost rolls my eyes into oblivion*

College-aged white guy: Hmm… *turns to black guy waiting in line behind him whom HE DOESN’T FUCKING KNOW* You got the answer to this right? *laughs* Black Guy: *gives me the “can u believe this fucking cracker” look* Me: *gives him the “I know brotha just pray to the lord for strength” look*
