I was raised in New England. I worked with a company doing business in the south. I went to a restaurant in a rural southern area, it doesn’t matter where now – really. I went with peers doing the same work as me. One however was a black man…I am a white woman. We weren’t dating, we weren’t even sitting next to each other but across a table from each other. The manager of the restaurant said those words to us. I was upset, really upset but I was more appalled that my peer wasn’t. He almost expected it even saying I am not surprised at all. 🙁
