OH at the ballpark (race-related)
Brewers vs. Rockies, Friday night, Miller Park.
Rockies catcher Ramon Hernandez is up to bat.
Woman behind me: "He doesn't look like a Hernandez."
Me: 
::looks around furiously, disappointed that none of my friends have caught this gem::
I'm pretty sure this woman is sitting behind me for the whole season (I have a 10-pack). I will update you as necessary.

I'd love to know what she thinks of Pedro Martinez.

Bonus quote: She referred to Norichika Aoki as Okey Dokey Smokey.
When I finally got to tell my friends about the Hernandez statement, one of them had a great comeback: "No, he looks more like a Rodriguez." I would have loved to have seen the look on her face as she tried to wrap her brain around that one.
I must shamefully admit that I have had this happen to me.
I work with a woman called May Wong. Now, she works in an uptown office, so while we work together, we've never met face to face. I always assumed she was an Asian woman, based on her name. Never once thought otherwise.
Flash forward to a convention a few years ago, and I was so excited to finally meet her face to face. We talk about twice a week, and she is lovely, so we both were excited. I could NOT hide my shock when she was a blond Caucasian woman. I was literally stupefied. We laugh about it now, and her husband is Chinese, but man, I ASSumed.
This made me think of that Seinfeld episode with Donna Chang.
Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about something like this?
I must see this. I bet this happen in NYC on the regular. May says it happens to her a lot!
lolol I love this
I don't know if anyone here watches boxing at all, but this reminds me of commentary about up and coming boxer Saul Canelo Alvarez. I can't find a good picture to pip but go to his website: http://caneloalvarez.com/canelo-reta-a-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-2/ His photo is in the top banner.
Anyway, he's red-headed and has freckles. He's Mexican, so I will honestly say when I first saw him I thought, he's Mexican? He looks Irish! (Yes, total skin color stereotypes here) Even Emanuel Steward made a comment about him looking Irish during the HBO fight.
Anyway, all that to say folks really don't think about skin color among other ethnic groups. We talk more about it with black folks, but I guess folks don't realize that all brown people aren't the same shade of brown.
Also? Redheaded Mexican is a drink with Sprite, tequila and grenedine.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttt
*makes note to order when she goes out drinking*
Better yet, I can make this at home. Gracias!
