So..my mother is an enormous racist.....

Mom: So you wanna go see Lone Ranger?

Me: God no. I will have no part of that movie.

Mom: But why??

Me: Uh…because it’s horribly offensive?

Mom: To WHO??

Me: Well let’s think here..oh..Native Americans???

Mom: But you like Johnny Depp!

Me: I liked him, yes. But he’s not enough reason to see a movie. He’s made tons of movies that I haven’t seen. Excusing that, I’ve never been a fan of the Lone Ranger, AND it’s offensive.

Mom: Oh my god, jesus, when did you become such a..a..socialist?!

Me: A socialist? Really?

Mom: Okay when did you start caring so much about the plight of Native Americans??

Me: Well I was ENGAGED TO ONE and with him for five years.

Mom: And all these other people, since when did you start caring what happens to them, all this social justice crap.

Me: When I started paying attention.

Mom: We did bad things to the indians, but there was a WAR going on you know, it’s not like they didn’t do awful things to US.

Me: Not on the same levels, mom. And we’re still doing terrible things to them.

Mom: Well they have a lot of things we don’t have you know. They have more rights than we do.

Me: Oh really..like…what….?

Mom: Like…well they DO. All the coloreds do! They get hired way easier than we do and things like that.

Me: That’s absolutely not true. I still want to know what rights you think they have that we don’t.

Mom: I’m not going to argue about this with you. You’re so stubborn. But you watch, one day all the coloreds will have everything.
