[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom does that and she truly is a super nice/non racist person. It's just how she tells stories. It does make me uncomfortable, though.[/quote] +1 I know lots of people who mention all kinds of details (irrelevant though they may be) because they are trying to recreate the scene. I agree with the George Carlin poster. It's obvious to me when someone mentions race/nationality as a detail versus mentioning it as a racist statement (like, of course, that person did X, they're Y). I think it says a lot about OP that it makes a difference. For example, if someone mentions that the lady in their story is British, would you even think twice? No, it's just a detail. But if they mention that the person is Chinese, then it's a sign of racism? [/quote]
