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 itโs a living hell), and today we had this as our trivia question (answer is B). I didnโt pick it, although almost every white person who came in assumed I did. I thought Iโd 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?? Theyโre all idiots anyway. I hate this question.
White Co-Worker: Couldnโt agree more!
Me: *horrified silence*
White Woman: Wow this is a tough one, I donโt think many people who come in here listen to rap music. Do I look like I listen to rap music? *laughs*
Me: Well Iโm pretty sure you donโt need a certain look to listen to music, justโฆears. So yeah, you do!
White Woman: Ohโฆsureโฆ
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: Hmmโฆ *turns to black guy waiting in line behind him whom HE DOESNโT FUCKING KNOW* You got the answer to this right? *laughs*
Black Guy: *gives me the โcan u believe this fucking crackerโ look*
Me: *gives him the โI know brotha just pray to the lord for strengthโ look*
And much more. Yโall it was fucking wild to see white people so uncomfortable with something as simple as a trivia question that even hinted at blackness. We have questions about everything from fucking astrophysics to types of cheese but it was this one that was just โtoo muchโ or โoutside their knowledge.โ Soooo ridiculous and childish andโฆwelp, racist.
