Okay, so to start this story off properly, I have been seeing this girl Tabatha for the past 2 months and we have really been hitting it off. We spend a lot of time together and we skip class together sometimes
... Okay so this past thursday night her Dad calls her and asks her if she wants to come over for dinner on Friday (yesterday) and she is like yeah. She then says Daddy can I bring my friend over. Well he said it was okay and at this point I'm kind of nervous because in the past I have often had bad experiences with meeting girls parents because right off the bat they automatically judge me because i have Tattoos and Piercings on my body. So Friday rolls around and we go to her Dad's house and he was really happy to see his daughter. (she lives in an apartment.) and then she introduces me and to my surprise he was very nice to me and had no problem with my appearance. I mean I was dressed nicely for the occasion I think just like her. I was wearing jeans and a Polo shirt. So we start talking in the front room and he mentions that he has classic cars and we hit it off right away because I love classic cars and worked on them all throughout my life. Then her Dad's girlfriend came out and we met and all was going well she made a nice dinner and we were doing great everyone was getting along and I was thinking to myself man they sure are nice people.
So now It's about 8 at night and Tabatha and her Dad's girlfriend go in the kitchen and start doing the dishes and I offered to help but they refused...
Okay so this is where the story gets less boring.. (I thank you if you are still reading this because it is about to get good.) So Jamie (Tabatha's Dad) asks me to come take a look at his 69' Comaro , me being the car lover that I am I accepted lol...So we get outside and its this beautiful glossy black 69' Comaro. He starts talking to me about all the stuff he did to the car and he starts it up and it was like a cat purring... then It started to shake and cut off.. So he pops open the hood and toys with it after about 15 minutes I ask to try and immediately I went to the carburetor and on those old Chevy's they have an idler adjustment switch so i toyed with it he started it and it was fine... He thanks me And as were walking inside he asks to talk to me for a minute... I was like sure.. So he says Look I know you like my daughter and I notice your Tattoos and Piercings and they don't bother me at all because some of my best friends are Tattooed...I didn't know what to say and before i could get anything out he goes... I don't need my daughter hanging around any wet backs(I'm hispanic and German) I GUESS HE DIDNT KNOW I WAS GERMAN !@#$#!!! And I hate racism...I was like Excuse me? He says.. yeah stay away from my daughter because you don't belong with her.. Now normally I would let the guy have it because I don't take that racism crap...He's like yeah ... So i say look maybe you don't know this but IVE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO MEXICO AND I THINK WHAT YOU HAVE JUST SAID IS THE MOST IGNORANT THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. I WAS BORN IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA, MY DAD IS AN ENGINEER AND MY MOM IS A PYSCOLOGIST AND MAYBE IF YOU HAD KNOWN ME FOR LONGER THAN 2 HOURS YOU WOULD KNOW THAT MY FATHER IS WHITE AND IT SHOULD NOT MATTER ANYWAY AND I CAN ASSURE YOU I AM NOT A "WET BACK" AS YOU SAY BY ANY STRETCH OF YOUR DULL CLOSE MINDED IMAGINATION OKAY MAN!! He just looks at me, smiles at me... Then he says calm down John... I was just kidding i'm not racist.... I was Pi**ed. At this point i was like what ever. We walk in and there is Tabatha all happy now I was about to just say lets go and leave but we stayed for a good 20 minutes more then left..She was happy the whole way back to my apartment and I didn't want to spoil her mood. I didn't tell her about what her Father had said to me and I don't know if I should and I don't know if he was joking and I guess if he was I would still be mad but I would get over it..But why would he say something like that? Anyway it was an interesting night and I just needed to vent.
JUST RACISM IS JUST SO INFURIATING TO ME!!!!!!
