I got called a racist. By a racist.
My Asian wife and I were getting groceries at a nationally known discount grocery chain. Bag your own groceries and all that. Anyway, we were unloading our stuff out of the cart and Cecilia grabbed our bags out of the cart. One of them is a bag from a Muslim temple that sometimes tries to help people out by distributing free food.
The woman behind us then said, "Why are you supporting those... Muslims? They're a bunch of terrorists." I said " They helped us and others out when we were having some trouble. So I have no quarrel with them." She was muttering about Muslim terrorists and other people of color. Then we paid for our stuff and went over to the bagging counter and started to bag our groceries.
Some guy then complimented my wife on her Caitlin Clark Iowa Hawkeyes shirt. Well lo and behold, the woman who was behind us in the line just had to pipe up and say how if I supported Caitlin Clark, I was obviously a racist because the majority of the WNBA are Black lesbian women. So by supporting Caitlin, who is caucasian and straight, we had to be racist. I just shook my head and walked away. I guess I'm a racist then. I don't want to waste my breath talking to dumb asses.
