Well, white is the most offended in the color spectrum. I grew up in a Mexican/Okie hood. Lotsa good nicknames and fun was had. The you-all gang always followed with y'all need Lysol was popular. My best friend was called BB for burnt bacon by us and known as coconut by the Mexicans. We all had free reign of each other's houses and I still haven't had food as good as back then.
I have a friend who is half Cambodian and half Iowa corn farmer. He has a t shirt that says "I AM NOT MEXICAN."
He 100% looks Mexican.
He 100% looks Mexican.
There was this guy at work who has an accident and got burned, we called him Johnny Flames, a friend who's short we call him molcajete legs
In college there were a group of girls that were called Front Butt, Ax Fight (because she looked like she lost an ax fight), and my favorite: Stacy Big Fat Whore.
I had friends called Piss Boy, Butt Plug, and Bitch Tits.
Generally speaking my group of friends went out of their way to be terrible to each other, but we always bailed each other out of jail.
It is amazing how I turned out so refined and sophisticated considering company I used to keep.

I have to admit that sometimes I’ll speak Spanish to waiters/etc here, as they look 100% Hispanic. Occasionally they have been Romanian (where a ton of people speak ok Spanish, Filipinos (also a Spanish colony at some point). Here in Jackson, about 2/5ths of the labor force is Hispanic, with the majority of them originally from Tlaxcala. 10 years ago, you could reliably assume that Spanish would be simpler in many situations. Now, with second and third gen kids coming up who are truly bilingual, you can’t assume that.
Sometimes it’s a bit of a dance as to what language to lead off with, because I don’t want to insult anyone by insinuating that they would prefer to speak Spanish.
Usually I’ll wait to hear them reply in English, and sort of judge by syntax and accent if Spanish might be preferable.
Occasionally they won’t engage, even if I reply in more or less perfect Spanish for their own reasons, I don’t judge.
Most, however, are surprised, as I am a total gringo pálido, but my accent (in Spanish) is almost flawless.
Sometimes I’ll interact with ‘No Sabes’ (2cnd/3rd gen that never learned Spanish), and those interactions can be a little uncomfortable.
Oh, well.
The rest of the planet does this dance on a daily basis, the U.S. is so weird.
Sometimes if there's Latinos nearby, I'll rattle off the few spanish phrases I know at him, then wander off. Then they come up to him and start that 150 syllables per second spanish and he's giving me death-eyes lol.
You’re right
Haha, Rotwild.
2007 they were making bikes from 1997-
I don't know what the hell this is, looks like a bike from a time that should be scrubbed from history-

Got roped in to doing a job someone else had looked and had to use refurbed bits from the company I was doing a job for.
Manifold was full of dirt and swarf, I know they'll question the job time so I wrote that I had to clean it out and remove the bolts as one wasn't even clamping down as they hadn't bothered lining it up before tightening.
Why don't people have a proper fucking go?!!!

Barf...
I once lost a whole tri-tip to a Labrador that we had had for years. He'd never even given the inclination that he would do such a thing before, so it never occurred to me that he'd do such a thing. Poor dog got super sick. We both learned a lesson that day.
I had an Australian shepherd mix when I was younger.
One night I came home from work with a pizza. Put it on the table and then left the room for two seconds. Came back and the pizza was gone.
Doggo ate it and then wanted more treats later. Wtf.
Same dog once ate my hamster. But she threw it up; the hamster lived for a good while after that.
What a great dog.
Lol, we took doggo for a 6 mile hike, deep in the woods, high altitude. My stomach was a little buggy, so I hiked a good ways off trail, dug a little pit, had a little poop, covered it up. All good, hiked for another hour. Came back down the trail, aaaaand…
You all can guess what happened….Payday Bar Scoobie Snack!
I thought it was goddamn hilarious…wifey went a little pale.
ATTABOY, Tate, “leave no trace!!!”

I could leave a steak on the coffee table and my dog wouldn't touch it, as long as I was still inside the house.
If I step outside to check the mail he will steal any marginally accessible scrap of food in the house. Accessible includes on top of the kitchen counter and on top of the fridge. I swear he keeps a mental map of everything in the house with a pre-planned strategy to steal it. He could probably teach the Navy Seals a thing or two about mission planning.
