Who else has had an embarrassing or upsetting date story? Feel free to share (or comment). Keep it PG13 though. I'll start
I was 19, I'm Hard of Hearing and Native American. My date was a white hearing man, about 30 years old. The two of us had talked previously and decided to go to a Tim Hortons at 6:45
I entered the café around 6:50 and it was busy, the line was very long, and waited in line for about 15 minutes. I ordered myself a coffee and looked around. When I looked at my date he was looking at me like a hungry predator, he had a brown buzzcut, an angular jaw, and squinted eyes and he was wearing a beautiful white shirt. I sat down with my coffee and the two of us started to chat.
We chat, discusse, and conversed about social life, school, my classes, his work etc. He seemed like a nice man so far.
What went wrong?
He saw one of the buttons on my bag, the one that reads "L'nui, I am Mikmaq". He said
"You're so civil, quiet, and pretty for a Native American girl. The rest of them redskins are such savages, doing those dances and throwing smoke in their faces"
I was shocked, maybe I read his lips wrong? The café was noisy was noisy so I didn't have auditory informations to help me. So I asked him to say what he said again.
He said the same thing again with larger mouth movements.
I was pissed off, livid. Without thinking I picked up my now cold coffee, took off the lid off of the paper cup, and threw on him.
The coffee ejectee itself and it splashed all over his white shirt, he sat there, his jaw dropped.
Then I left without saying anything. I walked home without once looking back at that hideous man.
And that's my I guess upsetting date. Never mess with a Native American woman, we don't tolerate racism.
