Imagine this…
You and your wife are about to pull away from the whole foods parking lot when a tall mid-40’s man leaves the bags he’s loading into his car to flag you down. When you roll down the window, with a big smile he says to you “All of the happily married couples I know are with women from foreign countries!”
How do you respond?
All B and I could do was laugh uneasily say “uhh thanks?” and drive off. I have no idea? Is this something like reverse racism? How did he know we were married? For that matter, how did he know she was from a foreign country?
For that matter, why did this guy feel so compelled as to quit loading his groceries, walk over to us and flag us down to say that?

Gosh.
You know, lady g and I have encountered surprisingly little of that here in the states. …Maybe because we’re not actually married?
For what it’s worth, my response also would have been to get t.f. outta there as quickly as possible without antagonizing the guy.

You should’ve been all “Yeah, it’s because American bitches are fucking lame! I hate ‘em!”
Or not.
I imagine it’s more sexism than racism, but either way it’s tardism.
