Today I met a racist [View All]

[wcast]

Oh, I'm sure she doesn't think she is a racist, but deep down, she is. She is your typical divorced, suburban mother, someone who probably encounters very few minorities of any kind in her day to day life, but assuredly, very few if any people from the Middle East.

Here's how it went. I'm at my daughter's soccer game, and my buddy and I start talking with this woman, who also has a daughter on the team. This is the first time I've met her. We get talking about our respective school districts (we are both teachers), and we talk about foreign languages. As we start to talk about the teaching of Arabic, she begins to weave this fantastic tale of how Arabs (her words) were out-breeding us by a 5 to 1 ratio, how in 40 years they will be the majority and us (White, European descendants) were soon going to be outnumbered, and our grandchildren will be speaking Arabic as they will control the country and vote it as the official language.

By this point I'm mad for several reasons. 1. She is totally misinformed, and it's hard for me to believe she has a college degree. 2. My daughter, who plays on the same team as her daughter, is bi-racial as I'm white and her mom is AA. She's talking about Whites being outnumbered with me?!! 3. I know she had to hear this from one of three places; Limbaugh, Beck, or her latest Klan meeting.

I don't want to start a huge argument with this woman, so I say I do agree with her numbers, that by 2050 Whites will be the minority in the US. Of course, that's if you lump all minorities in this group. But, I say, Whites will still be in control as they control all of the power structures and most of the wealth. She then says, Oh, I don't think that is true, to which I reply, it seemed to work out well in South Africa, where the minority White population controlled the Black majority for one hundred years.

That was the end of the conversation. She immediately turned around in her seat, and became totally engrossed in the warm-ups. I sat there a few minutes and then took a walk to cool down. I still had a soccer game to watch, and couldn't risk losing my cool, which has been known to happen. I know there are people out there like this, but it's always a shock when an educated person, someone who is probably a very nice individual, spouts such ridiculous garbage. Is this what people worry about!!! I can honestly say I have never once thought, I better get to breeding with a White woman so we are not overrun. In my way of thinking, "Arab" is code. It could easily be Blacks, Mexicans, etc. It makes it easier to understand why all of these White people are losing their minds with Obama as President. They are afraid of losing their White privilege. No matter how far you think you've come, there is still a long way to go.
