Not a news flash or anything, but something that happened to my wife, which I thought was interesting.
My wife went to work yesterday and was chatting with one of the contracted employees whom she works with. This person is a janitor and he likes to chat it up with all of the ladies in the office. I don't know him or anything about him, but he knows of me and what I do for work. Anyhow, the topic of conversation somehow got on politics and this is what he said.
The janitor asked her if I was a "Trump supporter." She replied "Yes he is." His response was "Is he white?" My wife replied and said "Yes he is." They continued talking and he continued to share with her his distaste for our President and accused him of being a racist. Now, I wasn't there and didn't hear the conversation, but I thought it odd that he accused President Trump of being racist, but automatically ASSUMED I was white because I support President Trump.
So, he (The janitor), doesn't like President Trump because he (The janitor), believes "He (Trump), is a racist." Yet this same guy ASSUMES I am white simply because of what I do for work and for the mere fact that I support President Trump.
Interesting. I guess, I dont know.
Anyhow, nothing pressing here, but I thought it interesting and wanted to share.
