What a tough life he must have. I’m sure this has never happened to anyone ever. I’m a tall guy and when I was younger people asked if I played basketball.

They ask tall white kids that too, just no one makes a big deal out of it.

Exactly. He fits the profile of someone who has been taught to see racism in his bowl of cereal every morning. So naturally DEI is what he gravitates towards

To be fair, with AlphA-Bits and patience you can arrange racial slurs. On the other other hand you can make slurs that aren't racial.

I forgot about that. Also, milk is white

Who knew tall people dealt with such micro-aggressions?

No. My favorite sport is baseball. I played up until high school. My dream was to at least make it yo the minors and see what I could do from there. Still watch baseball and have been collecting baseball cards since childhood

Just do whatever non-baseball job you do for the baseball team. If you're an accountant, be an accountant for the nearest MILB affiliate. After a few years of hard work you can move up and maybe crunch numbers in the show.

Interestingly enough, Eisenhower also wanted to play baseball. Instead, his consolation prize was becoming a 5-star general and POTUS.

I actually learned about that fairly recently on the show Mike Rowe does called story behind the story. In the Air Force I read about his military career along with the other 4 star generals in WW2.

He's in delta comfort. Maybe he's tall.

What I’m thinking. Reminds me of the story where the black woman cried racism at Walmart because someone assumed she worked there and asked for help. Most likely she was wearing a shirt that kinda looked like a Walmart shirt. Has happened to me and countless other people.
