What stupid thing has someone said to you because they made an assumption you think like them, because you appear to be similar to them?

Today, while bathing in the mineral waters in Hot Springs, Arkansas, a women was telling me about her many travels. She had taken quite a few cruises, and she said her Royal Caribbean Cruise was great, went through the Panama Canal. Her Carnival Cruise had a lot of kids on the ship, and a lot of blacks. Royal Caribbean there was only one black person and he was part of the entertainment. Can you believe it?! This shit never ceases to amaze me. I met her two minutes ago and she is openly sharing her racist tendencies.

A year ago I met a woman who loves in my subdivision while I was walking throught the neighborhood with some other neighbors, and we started talking about grocery shopping and when we got around to Walmart she said there are so many blacks and Mexicans, although the Mexicans are not that bad. Well, thank goodness since I am married to a Mexican.

When I was in college, one night, I walked up to the elevator and said “hello” to a couple leaning on the windowsill in the area of the elevators. They said “hi” back. Then the girl turned to her boyfriend and said people are so much nicer here, at Michigan (I went to school at Michigan State) they are all such a bunch of Jews. Well, I am Jewish. I even look kind of stereotypically Jewish. Idiot.

People just make the dumbest assumptions, that because they perceive me as being like them, I am going to think like them. WTH? What kind of crazy story do you have?
