YoU?!??...yEs...YoU

So…strange things have been occurring in my life lately…not events but random people just making bizarre comments out of nowhere…and I’m no complainer…strangely as it may seem I rather enjoy the eccentricities of life…I welcome insanity with open arms… it amazes me how some people function on the lack of filter between their brain and their tongue…its like a slippery slope on Comedy Central!!! Like one time I told some random woman I was a Muslim and she replied “oh really? ohhhh…but they’re such nice people…I have this Muslim fri…” I lost her 2 seconds ago…rite after “but”…I just let it go…you know I’m sure the poor lady didn’t really mean what she was sayin. It was funny tho…one time I was having a healthy debate with a Democrat that Barack Obama’s middle name Hussain is a Muslim name. She wouldn’t agree with me…or more like she didn’t want to agree with me. I think finally when I was able to convince her she felt silent…I think I may have influenced her vote just then…shit! So I know Muslims are sort-a at the bottom of the food chain these days…sort-a…I mean it’s not that bad I may be exaggerating here but most people would like to believe we come sour, societies just get lucky when we turn up fresh!!! So anyhow I’m out dining with my 2 bosses and soon-to-be-3rd boss…well let me first back track a bit to sum history about my 2 bosses…2 of the most pleasant gentlemen I’ve worked with EVER (& such a relief from the last male boss I had to work under). Both of my bosses are worldly gentlemen, you know, well-travelled & all. And have been to Pakistan (where I’m originally from) so you know I hart them, I love international folks!!! One of my bosses is originally from England actually, Manchester, funny guy, adores desi food. Anyhow, so while we’re eating, my soon-to-be-3rd boss asks for my insight into the recent terrorist attacks in India. And you know I start off on my typical spiel…"good and bad people everywhere"…blah blah blah…"I denounce terrorism"…blah blah blah…then he goes "well you see, you people...I just don’t get you people, I mean there’s no changing, no persuasion, no modernization…." YOU PEOPLE???!!! What...sir? I'm an American...I mean did I miss the part where I belong to some tribe or sumthing...sir, are you insane??? For the first couple of minutes I was a bit stunned...but then...I actually LOOOOVED it…I wasn't perturbed at all...I was thoroughly enjoying my YOU PEOPLE moment...I mean c'mon can't blame my 60-something year old southern boss from Forth Worth Texas… they are doing the best they can…being exposed to Muslim people yelling & screaming yallayallayallayalla on TV burning American flags can leave you tainted you know…if that’s all you’re ever exposed to…sadly…
