Reminds me of that SNL skit a while back where everyone treated the black people overly friendly, even when they did something rude. Wanted to buy their coffee, etc etc. I can't find the skit to save my life (probably banned now for not being woke). Pretty funny skit.
No it was the reverse and newer, maybe 8-10 years ago.Is this the one?

and you are selling what?
OMG
What type of business ?
You should have acted offended,
"You just assume I'm in charge because of the color of my skin?"
I had my moment a few weeks ago when I called Verizon to upgrade our data to unlimited after we got dinged for the first time.
The account is in my wife Patricia's name, because mine had forever been with AT&T on my work account. But she was busy, so I decided to call.
Verizon lady hearing my voice asked " Is this Patricia ?" , I said "Yes", not attempting in any way to disguise my voice. She got real quiet for a moment, then repeated the question ---- wrong move on her part, I immediately responded with " You're not assuming my gender are you ? " It was all I could do not to start breaking out laughing, she got so quiet, then very meekly replied " Oh no, of course not, I apologize if I offended you" --- I swear by now I'm damn near on the floor, pissing myself. My wife was in her office and had overheard me, by now she's got her head out her office door laughing her ass off at my comment.
Funny thing was, now this gal is acting like my best buddy, she was amazingly helpful, working to get me every discount she could muster, we laughed, shot the shit for a bit, but me never revealing I wasn't Patricia. I still get a chuckle just imagining what she was imagining.

Didn’t SNL do a skit about “Pat”
beat me to it.Thought it was " Pat ", I remember that from SNL, so does my wife --- you can call her Patty, but you best never ever call her Pat
The odd part, was how this gal was suddenly treating me like I was her BFF. I immediately thought of it while watching the Eddie Murphy SNL skit vid.
The official term is to jew them down, so who do you think that is?Man, I thought us Asians could only ask for discounts. [emoji1787]
They are calling it Equity. Sounds like equality. It’s not even close to the same thingMinority privilege.
It is the new way of the future.

I find it odd any race would take pride in being deemed pathetic
That’s the entire conundrum with democrats being the shepherds of minorities.
My wife is Patricia goes by Pat and I call for her all the time and nobody ever questions me about it.Thought it was " Pat ", I remember that from SNL, so does my wife --- you can call her Patty, but you best never ever call her Pat

For an old fucker you're adapting to the new world quite well.
Talk about hip ole dude and me adapting --- the call was initiated to boost our data plan, because this hip old fart had bought him a new kick-ass smart phone.
No!!!!
When I worked at a hotel in college, I had a similar aversion to people asking for a senior discount. Just because you haven't died yet I'm supposed to charge you less?

Your parents must have been so proud of their little baby. You treat Vets that make this amazing life you lead even possible with the same lack of respect ?

Where did I disrespect people? I find it disrespectful to be so entitled just because of age that people demand discounts and berate the kid working the front desk when we don't have one.
Being respectful of people is reciprocal.
Vet discounts are earned by the sacrifice that they laid out for our country, a discount for being old is an unearned entitlement.
He said nothing about veterans.....
