My pal looks at me and says &#8220;they&#8217;re probably American.&#8221; Ye gads! I meant Western! I meant Caucasian! I meant &#8220;my kind.&#8221; OMG can I sound even more ignorant?

I&#8217;d say I don&#8217;t have a racist bone in my body but I made that statement in a heartbeat without thinking twice about it.
