Hockey fans are really cool and friendly in my experience and if this was 15 to 20 years ago I would’ve just assumed it was friendly hockey fans but this reeks of the “let’s bend over backwards for a black person to show how non racist we are” mindset
That's how I'm seeing it as well. It be different if it's a kid, any color. I also hates he opens with you white people hid hockey from us. I'm sure he's kidding and doesn't mean anything malicious but no one hid shit, this would be called a micro-aggression if someone said that about black people
Exactly. I have close white friends and we joke around like that but this guy is saying this to total strangers. I mean it’s not hard to find hockey on cable.
Let’s be honest, they wouldn’t go out of their way like this for a white boy (at best maybe a hockey player would give him a high five or something), but for a black kid? They will throw a whole parade for them!
Oh definitely is over the top. I thought it was funny at first because it sounded like he had never seen hockey. Didn’t know the team did all that. I’d save that for some charity I’d give their gear to local kids who play hockey. I never thought about going on X and talking about being a hockey fan. I’m in a Dallas stars fan group but that’s about it
Did you post it on X? I could see if it was a child but this is so try hard. Look a black guy might like us, let's make him feel special

Even a black kid wouldn't bother me. But it's a grown ass man.
