Okay so we have a white American exchange student in our class and he’s kind of a massive dick.
We were in class and he made a fried chicken and watermelon joke to a Kaurna classmate and the whole table was just like ????
Like we all *knew* something was fucked up, from the tone of voice and body/face language but the association between black people and fried chicken and watermelon isn’t a thing here? I sort of roughly know about it from tumblr: enough to know that his dude was a fuckwit.
Everyone just stared back and were like “We don’t understand can you explain it?” And he started off repeating and laughing and then as we kept pressing for an explanation he was hella embarrassed and kept saying that “It’s fine, don’t worry about it, it was just a joke”
Until one of my table mates went “Oh, maybe he doesn’t understand it himself - I googled this, let me explain it to you AMERICANDUDE and she read off a whole definition while maintaining intense eye contact and and it was like watching a premeditated MURDER.
Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: I used escapist fantasies as a coping mechanism to get through years of trauma and therefore never learned how to plan for a real life future
Alternatively: I went through periods of depression so frequent and intense that I never considered that I’d actually make it to my 20s so now I’m kinda just making it up as I go
