pretty mild, comparatively.I mean, none of mine involve cancer patients and orphans. I'm pretty careful about that sort of thing.
1. The old "calling something 'gay' in front of my homosexual friends." It was in front of eight or nine gay friends - a freaking white party - with me being the token straight chick.
2. This wasn't me. My granny's boyfriend is a twat, really. He took my family out for some Indian food. Because he's a senior citizen, it was only about five-thirty and the restaurant was pretty much empty, so all the servers - the Indian servers, from India - were standing around. Oh jeez, what should we talk about? How about jobs being exported to India? This is a *bad thing*, see, because the quality of workers is *lower* in India, etc etc.
