All Old People Are Racist

By Colleen

All old people are racist.

Theres this old guy who visits the restaurant quite frequently. He is a war veteran and is missing a few fingers and walks with a limp. I was sitting at a table on my laptop, looking at my resume, trying to look busy because, in all honesty, he's really creepy and doesn't hear well so I don't like talking to him because I hate repeating myself. He sits down and my dad serves him and my dad starts explaining how great I am. I'm eating it up, and I explain that I'm trying to win a few scholarships.

To that he replies:

"Too bad all those colored boys are snatching up all that money in football scholarships."

I sat flabbergasted (that means struck dumb or surprised) before I sputtered out a rebuttal.

He didn't seem fazed and continued eating.

Holy Shit. Old people are racist.
