Via David Brooks'
as-asinine-as-usual column today:
Recently
I took a friend with only a high school degree to lunch. Insensitively,
I led her into a gourmet sandwich shop. Suddenly I saw her face freeze
up as she was confronted with sandwiches named “Padrino” and “Pomodoro”
and ingredients like soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette. I
quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and she anxiously
nodded yes and we ate Mexican.
Is "I have a friend with only a high school degree" the new "I have a black friend"? Wtf.
