Mom, good news. I'm looking around the hotel, and it seems like all of the white, straight men are doing just fine. They're still thriving.
Point taken. I just think it's funny that now it's okay to reduce everybody to their race and gender, but isn't that the kind of thinking that we've been fighting against all these years?
I agree. I mean, for years, I was the good guy, you know? I was the one in the room, saying, like, "Hey, that's not cool," to all the chauvinists and bigots. But now I'm the bad guy, or at least, I shouldn't say anything on account of my inherited traits. I mean, why do I need to prove my anti-racist bona fides? It seems wrong.
It's someone else's turn to eat.
Yeah. It's not all about you, Dad. It's time to recenter the narrative.
That's fine by me. I don't wanna be the center of the narrative. Believe me. Let's center the narrative around, uh, Paula.
Okay. Yeah. What do you know about her?
What do you mean?
Do you know anything about Paula?
I know that she goes to college with you. And that she's a very intelligent and appealing young woman.
But you've never really asked her one thing about herself.
Well, we're not on a job interview. We're on vacation. So... I mean, besides, what do- What does Paula know about me?
