I stalked this up to "80 year old person doesn't know how to communicate with youth and gets uppity because young fucker is a cunt"

It's such a non-story. I've had plenty of old people bungle asking me "what is your ethnicity" by going "where you really from?" It's like whatever, as soon as I figure out what they are actually asking I just answer. This shit is like being ashamed of your ancestry, it's fucking self racism.

Hell I thought it was just made up out of whole cloth myself, you have a long term lady in waiting who probably has dealt with a large number of actual African commonwealth dignitaries and might be good at placing people by name, dress and accent.

Her job is gather info and pass it on to avoid social fax pas and the seemingly weird walking collection of various African themes was confusing and needed clarification.

Fair take. I'd not be inclined to believe the exchange was real myself but I've seen similar exchanges before. Older lady getting a bit testy with young black lady because she interprets the dodging of the question as sketchy while the younger black lady is just sitting there interpreting the question as hostility.

In reality both are assuming bad faith intentions from the other person which is the problem.

But yeah this lady seems to be LARPing at some artificially adopted identity so we can assume she's basically doing it to stir the pot and get attention.

I'm looking forward to our star trek post scarcity future where we use victim hood points as our new currency.

"Hello? How are you!"

"How dare you pry into my private business!"

"Do you have the time?"

"How dare you accuse me of being late!"

"Excuse me does this subway go to the airport"

"How dare you assume I'm from here just because of how I look!"

A pleasant bunch the raging cunts. Always a delight to speak too. Customer service agents absolutely love them and make sure they get the best service!

Heh I used to work in phone based tech support and one of the lines was £1 a minute, generally I would try and get shit fixed as fast as I possibly could. But raging cunts would run to the "idiot tax" they would get the spiel at the beginning of the call about the cost per min and they wanted to spend 5 mins bitching about it then its not my fucking phone bill and if they wanted to argue for another 5 mins about the 30 second fix I knew the issue was then fuck em.
