The true test of what makes someone racist...

Work Story # 8

I was showing him the yearbook page where the students had asked him what his favorite drink was.  The caption under his pictures said, "My favorite drink is a Chai Latte."  I said, "That's not your favorite drink.  You ALWAYS get Black Tea Sweetened," and he said, "I know, but I didn't want to say the word BLACK because I didn't want people to think I was racist."

My internal dialogue at the moment: Come on, REALLY?!
