Racially Legal?

A friend of mine told me recently that I post entirely too many status updates on Facebook that I should save the insight and write into some sort of  blog instead.  Either he is fucking with me when he says, I’m entertaining or he’s smarter than I give him credit for.  I guess it doesn’t really matter as I’m giving this blogging thing a shot…

I’m very random and tend to make comments on the day I’ve had or the weird things I see on a daily basis.  So for tonight, I will give my recount on the dining experience I had this evening.

My boyfriend and I went to dinner and beside us is the Wally Fart workers table on their evening lunch break. Here I figured this would be the most enjoyable people watching experience and it only turned out to be lame compared to our 2 waitresses.

First there was Mercedes who was more excited to wait on Ray the toothless Wally Fart  3rd shifter than us.  I guess he must tip better…who knows?  She brought us our drinks and then said, “Please don’t think I am ignoring you but I’m going on break.  Shonda will be right out to take your order.”

I know…boring so far.  But then out comes Shonda.  She takes our order and leaves.  I look at my boyfriend and whisper, “Ok, so Mercedes and Shonda are both hillybilly white girls.  Seriously, is that even racially legal?”

While I realize that there are no written in stone rules of how each race names their offspring, there has to be an unwritten rule out there.  Or perhaps, there are people out there naming their  children such off the walls names for people like me to be confused by.
