fun story: my dad is black but because he’s biracial when his skin is less dark like in the winter he gets a lot of “what are you” questions from every person around him because he had a giant Afro. my dad was a special education teacher with the public school system for what was his entire career. he was assigned to teach in a [gag] open custody jail facility for “criminal youth”. my dad worked there in the 80’s, 90’s and a little until 00’s until it was shut down and he was reassigned to a rural high school to work with autistic kids mostly (but any real developmental disabilities)
when he was teaching in the jail one day, this one student kept harassing him at his desk about “what he was” (which my father couldn’t even answer because he’s not going to tell a traumatized child in his care about his fucked up life as a transracial adoptee) so my dad looked him dead in the eyes and said, “cardassian”. the kid asked, “wait where is that?” so my dad said as a joke, “if you can find “cardassia” on this map [on a book on his desk] i’ll [buy you a pizza or something inconsequential]” and the kid sat all day researching lmao bless kids
my dad was always horrified if they saw him out of work because he was a consummate professional lol
@dexiheart The Duross Sisters, I'm guessing? I loved to hate them.
