THE Perfect Answer For a Stupid Question

MyGirlsMom · ‎03-09-2010

I was at a gathering at my Aunts home over the weekend with extended family members and old friends. One of the people there was a childhood friend of my cousin, let's call him "Tim."

My cousin had a fellow Attorney there with he family and their sons have also been friends since childhood. They are Seniors in college, Morehouse and Harvard.

"Harvard" brought along his lovely girlfriend from Iran. Well, "Tim" asks "Harvard's" girlfriend was she a terrorist (he thinks he's a comedian). With a straight face she replied, "only sometimes."

We all let out a sigh at "Tim's" stupidity and laughed because the young woman could have been defensive.

After that the young people played cards and "Tim" stayed away.

There was nothing funny about that. She handled it well.

She handled it well, but I can't believe that he said that. The bias behind his supposed humor is disgusting.

Wow that was horrible. My kneejerk response would be "harvard, you're an assp". Out loud.

We had a different instance over the weekend at a relative's house. It was the exact opposite, where the person was looking for pity and I just played along with it and gave it to them.

@MyGirlsMom

"Moohouse"

I believe you meant to type Morehouse.

If my daughter & mother saw your typo they would have beat you w/a wet noodle. Both are graduates of Spelman which sits right across the road from Morehouse.

OMG, what a jerk. That young woman was fantastic.

It's probably not the first time she's been confronted with that question.

She's a keeper.

For someone to ask something that offensive to another total

stranger? That sends up some major red flags.

This isn't the first time he's said this...and greater than zero chance

he's practiced this among his friends who think the same...enough to feel comfortable. Has to be some deep seated, ugly beliefs to expand this to 'humor.'

The young lady was a class act.

'Tim', on the other hand, wouldn't be invited to play in

any of my 'reindeer games' after that!
