Neon, they give me that shit all the time because I game a lot. The white trash swimmer kid who's in a lot of my classes is always like:
Eric: "I work out ALL the time! What's that, John (me), you only work out SOME of the time and don't swim or play basketball? What else do you do? Oh, you play guitar and computers? You're a nerd, only white kids do that!"
Me: "Umm... Eric? You're whiter than I am."
Eric: "No way!"
I hold up my arm, which, if I stayed in the sun more, you might mistake me for being Indian. He's lighter than those beige covers you see in lots of hotel beds.
Me: "See?"
Eric: "Who cares, I'm culturally darker than you. I do a sport, swimming. You play guitar, that's so white trash."
Me: "No, playing guitar, though it is typically thought of as a white thing, is not white trash. You ever see chicks insult guitar players for being 'white trash'? No. And I do karate, I do a sport where you train to kick people's asses. You train to cross small bodies of water. My sport has much more life-use, especially in security or miltiary fields."
