Mulatto and you

[Siege]

"Sergeant, can I ask you where are you from?"
"No, you can't. Why do you ask? Are you some kind of racist?"
"Sergeant, I'm black..."
"I don't care. Black people can be racist too. Do you belong to the Klu Kuz Klang?"
"Sergeant, the Ku Klux Klan are white racist people..."
"How do you know? Have you been to their meetings? Do you read their literature? Are you a member?"
"Ah...no Sergeant. Ah...I'm sorry I asked, Sergeant."

Five minutes later:

"Sergeant Siege, stop fucking with the new privates dammit!!111"
"Roger First Sergeant."
"Don't you have enough EO complaints against you?!!"
"Yes First Sergeant. Won't do it again."
"Don't fuck with me Siege, I know you can't shut your damn mouth! One of these days I'm gonna staple it!"
"Yes First Sergeant."


Five days later, new Soldier arrives:
"Sorry Sergeant, can I ask you where is your accent from?"

There was a period in my life, maybe 17 to 23, when I was awkwardly asked whether I was part black, by maybe 5 or 6 different people I didn't know well.

The most subtle was the ~45 year old black woman with whom I DIALED FOR DOLLAR$ at catty-corner telemarketing set-ups.  On break, we were chatting and she mentioned that her granddaughter was "mixed," which gave her interesting hair.  Actually, I have interesting hair, too -- am I by any chance Sicilian?  No?  Do I happen to be mixed as well?

The least subtle was a slightly drunk NYU undergrad girl.  She marched up to me early in the night at a party and got straight to the point: "What race are you?" 
I said: "White." 
She said:  "Like, *all* white?"
I: "Mm-hmm."
She:  "You aren't even a little bit black ?" 
I:  "No, I'm just white."
She:  "Really?"  And then wandered off, unconvinced, to get a drink or powder her nose or something...

You should have said part black and hit that shit.

Mihalia, didn't you say one time that you had Mexican family you were thinking about visiting?

Siegy is Epstein from Welcome Back, Kotter.

You should have heard the tongue-lashing First Sergeant gave him when he tried to get out of drill with a note from his mother.

Yeah, I have extensive family in Mexico, but I've only met one great-uncle and a couple of his kids when they came to the States to visit.  My grandfather knew them better.  I don't have any Mexican heritage though.  In 1900 or whatever, one brother took the boat from Poland to NYC; the other took the boat to Veracruz.  The first one is my great-grandfather.
