Nick's parents came to visit this weekend. We jumped in a taxi from the West Village to the Lower Eastside. I sat in the front of the taxi because the three of them sat in the back seat. The cab driver was an older white male. He seemed to be perhaps Russian or Czechoslovakian. After a 30 second conversation about which streets we would be taking, he honked a bit and swerved a couple times around pedestrians (normal for a cab driver).
But then he said something that I could not believe a perfect stranger would say to me. He proclaimed, (after swerving through pedestrians) "You're allowed to run over and kill 5 Asians per year, and 6 Mexicans a year." I replied, "Oh, is that so?" He said, "Yep, 5 Asians, 6 Mexicans, and next year it'll be the Indians, cuz they're all taking over."
I just have no words to end this one...
