Don’t Ask Me

While on the PATH train, this Hispanic couple showed me a map and asked at which stop they needed to get off the train. The correct answer was “Journal Square,” and that’s where I was going, so I told them I’d help them figure out how to find their destination.

The only landmark on the map that I recognized was a White Castle, so I dutifully pointed them in that direction. It wasn’t until I was finally at work, going to the bathroom, that I realized “Hey, they didn’t want to go to White Castle.”

Thanks to Gingko Biloba, I managed to bring up a rough version of the map in my mind’s eye, and I realized that the building they were looking for was right there at the PATH station.

Sorry about that, wherever you are!

Latinos everywhere should strike up against you. Maybe my people should start a support group for the communities that you have already hurt with your “white” logic.
