re: Funniest thing labeled "racist".

I was telling a story of my buddy who has coonass tattooed on the inside of his lip. His last name ends in eaux and he can trace his heritage pretty far back.

Well this flight attendant I told the story to looked like I shot a puppy and said that's racist as hell. I tried to explain that coonass is Cajun and while I wouldn't call a Cajun that, he's a damn Cajun so he can call himself that. She's like well it's offensive to black people. It took me a hot second but she assumed anything called a coon is offensive to blacks. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Somehow this chick heard some old arse racial slang and just assumed, because she's never been to the south, it had zero other applications.
