Ash I'm not pinning this on you because my gramma does it, my mother does it, LOTS of people do it. But I've noticed in Ash's last 3 work stories she does it.
When telling a story why do people feel its necessary to mention the RACE of the person in the story, when it has NO bearing on the actual story???
I remember LOOOONG time ago on ETJ I made a comment about a "greasy mexican" dude who was trying to hit on me and I was lamb-basted and practially hated off the planet by ETJ-ers. And Ashley always deals with "crazy asian ladies" when her story would have been the SAME if it was just a "crazy lady".
WHY do we refer to race when its irrelevant?

I think people do that to paint a picture... just like someone saying she was driving a "lime green car"... is lime green really necessary... NO... but it sure colors in the car for you.
