not racist.
once every three or four months I see a black guy in the subway
and he sits next to me
and I ask myself
"I wonder how I can show this guy how super not-racist I am"
Lev"Oh god, black people gathered on the sidewalk. How do I walk by non racistly?"
"Eye contact? Yes. Wait. No. Too much. TOO MUCH. ABORT"
more like
"I am not going to look at him to show him that, unlike everyone in this subway, I'm used to seeing black people. I lived in PHILADELPHIA."
"But oh no, that looks like I'm avoiding him. Like I don't want to look at his black face"
"Look at him in a disinterested manner"
"Oh no, he's going to think that I'm not interested because I don't see him as a sexual object"
"Look at him sexily"
Lev"What if he thinks this is my constipated face"
"Do NOT shit yourself"
"What if he thinks I have the jungle fever?"
"DO I have the jungle fever?"
"What is reality?"
"Stop it, black man!"
and then he gets out at his stop
