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!

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