I Didn't Know You'd Be Black
by Tiffany D. (19, F, San Jose, CA)

"Before I start the story, you should know a couple things: 1) I'm Black. and 2) Everyone else in this story is Asian. Trust me, this will all serve a purpose.

I used to hate getting setting up on dates by my friends. I happen to be a believer that if you and someone else click, you should date regardless of race, gender, economic status, hairstyle choices or anything else. The guys my friends kept introducing me to didn't share this same belief, however. But, they'd talked to me because I have big boobs. Nice!

Anyhow, the last time I willing let my best friend Pam set me up was probably the worst of all. It was a group date thing. Pam was seeing this guy Peter and they both happened to have single best friends. She talked me up and was like "She's great!" So, Peter told his friend about me and then this friend (who's name I've forgotten) was all set to meet me!

We all meet up at this club in Hollywood. On Industrial Music/80's night. So far, not the best atmosphere for a blind date. I'm standing there talking to this friend, and we're hitting it off nicely. Very nicely! Jokes and repartee all around. But then I notice this guy is looking kind of anxiously around while he's also talking to me.

I joke "Are you looking for someone else?"

He says, "Sorta. I'm supposed to be on this blind date, but she isn't here yet."

I look at him confused. "Um, what do you mean?"

"Well, I'm supposed to be meeting Pam's friend Tiffany soon. And I think she's late," he says.

I frowned. I start to think he's joking, but he doesn't seem to be. "Um, guy? Yeah. I'm Tiffany."

I swear to God the music screeched to a halt as he looked at me with equal parts disgust and confusion."

"Oh," he says "You're Black. I didn't know you'd be Black."

My face dropped.

"Yeah, I don't date Black Girls. I thought since Pam is Asian you'd be Asian. But you aren't. I mean, if she'd told me you were Black I wouldn't have even come." And then he about-faced back to his friends and left me standing against a wall with my jaw on the floor.

All in the first 8 minutes of the date!

I got to spend the rest of the night watching him avoid me like I had the plague AND hit on other girls!! AMAZING! I even stupidly tried to dance with him and he looked at me and walked away.

Pam came up to me like 40 minutes later asking me why I wasn't being so friendly to Peter and his friend.

"Because you set me up with a racist, you dumb bitch!" I yelled at her while being drowned out by the music.

"Okay, well just try harder." She said and walked away.

Yeah, I went home."
