A Jewish Man and a Hoodlum walk into Starbucks
I went to Starbucks to get a hot chocolate because I’m cold. And it is New England after all.
These 2 guys come in — obviously very good friends.
One guy appears to be an older Jewish orthodox man and is very well dressed.
The other guy appears to be youngish and is a rather large stereotypical “ghetto hoodlum” complete with the sagging pants and the teardrop tattoos.
These 2 men of what appear to be different backgrounds, different races, different everything sat down at table in the middle of Starbucks and talked about everything from how the Cowboys are doing this season to what the Hebrew alphabet looks and sounds like.
Then the black guy began to teach the Jewish guy all the ghetto slang words.
If you have never listened to an older Jewish orthodox man saying loudly “what’s good nigga?!?” After his ghetto friend taught him, you haven’t lived yet.
If I hadn’t seen them together, I would have never pictured them as friends, simply because they don’t look alike. But I’m glad I did.
Don’t stereotype people.
We are more alike than different.
