"Damn son, how tall are you?" StereoMex (Stereotypical Mexican) co-worker.
"It's just Shawn." Me
"Okay, Just Shawn, how tall are you?" He said this to make me feel stupid. As if ghetto slang is more impressive than direct communication.
"Six two."
"You mustta played some basketball back in high school." StereoMex
"No."
"No? You were just a white boy?" StereoMex said with a smirk.
"I'm not white."
"What?"
"I don't play that race card bullshit. I'm just Shawn." Me
"Okay den."
"People want to say shit to me like, 'Oh you got it so good cause you're white.' Then what the fuck am I doing working here trimming trees? Fuck them."
"Right!? I gotchu." StereoMex
Somehow, in his eyes, I earned mad props. So be it.
