What do you say when a police officer in a crowded Mexican restaurant comes up to you and says “I’m glad to see other Anglos here”?
July 10th, 2005
Looking back on it, the best replies would have been: “What the fuck?” or “What’s your badge number?” … ha, but in the moment all I mustered was “There’s a lot of people in this world.” … whatever sense that made.
Funny thing was, we got our food to go, and were pretty hungry so we just sat down for a bite before leaving. After the officer delivered that line we were done eating, so we packed up to leave. He must have thought we were leaving because of what he said. He got nervous, and tried some more stilted conversation. When we left he went over and struck up conversation with a group of Latinos.
The question is: Why would ya’ say something like that in a crowded restaurant? It’s not like we’re in some place where nobody understands english.
