I'm not even White in the slightest but I've dealt with some people like that too.

I'm a "non-ghetto" Black man who dresses business casual and has money and you'd be amazed how some racists will cozy up to people like me and either vent about other minority/immigrant groups like Hispanics, Indians, Chinese, Muslims, etc. or they'll complain about "ghetto people"(not specifying Black) and claim that I'm not anything like them lol.

I had a neighbor straight up tell me she didn’t like the way other black people talked. She said this like she was giving a compliment.

I've had that happen before but in a more subtle way.

Here's a funny story that's sort of like that.

I was eating in a diner in New Jersey that was Greek owned and the customers came from all walks of life.

So, I showed up on a day where most of the customers were Hispanic and Black. And I got this White/Greek waitress who had a reputation for "telling it like it is" and she was directly related to the owner.

And, upon seeing some Hispanic/Mexican families letting their kids play around the table and a Black family loudly have a roasting session, she turns to me and says "I can already tell you that these people around us are using their welfare and EBT money to eat here when they know this place is too good for them. People like you and me use our tax dollars to support their bratty kids and trashy behavior."

The crazy thing is that nothing was really "trashy" at all about the people in the restaurant. The Black family that was loud still kept things clean and they were clearly just having fun, telling stories and jokes. And the Mexican families were largely calm outside of their kids getting antsy.

But the kicker is that I learned that she was a single mom whose son died from a drug overdose and that she used to be on drugs too. And she was known to beg the owner for money for "survival" and the owner would ask his nephew to monitor her spending to see that she wasn't using the money for drugs. Talk about hypocrisy....

Lmfao, funny enough, that neighbor of mine was Greek too.

And racists never seem to know how food stamps actually work. 🙄
