One of the frustrating things about your letter is that despite rigidly adhering to the rules with this person, you were willing to make an exception for someone else (the person with the concert tickets).

I swear these all have to be fake. Its way too on the nose. Who would actually say "hey I let this one person go to a concert but not this formerly homeless amazing woman who just graduated!"

Its like "I saw an orphanage on fire but I said screw you orphans but then the next day my house caught fire!" like nobody would be that honest about being that much of a dick. You wouldn't include those details.

Terrible people exist.

Terrible people do not, however, sit around reading advice columns on interpersonal skills. People exist who might ask, "Dear Abby, I punched my wife's teeth out for complaining about my mistress. Can I sue her for divorcing me?" But those people are not avid readers of Dear Abby columns, and presumably not readers anything else that makes zero sense to them.

And this kind of makes me want to dig up terrible people who wrote in to Dear Abby columns.

My dad is Danish and my mom is from Tanzania so Im visibly mixed. Recently I was in Tanzania for my sisters wedding.

So I'm in the smoking area in the airport in Amsterdam and just trying not to drop my cigarette because I'm mad shaking because of my social anxiety. This Danish pair is sitting right infront of me and I'm feeling extra anxious because I don't want to be rude and listen in on their conversation. Then the dude makes a comment about how high and "proper" I'm holding my cigarette. I try to act like I dont even see them and its hella awkward. Then they go on to talk about how few "negroes" they had seen in the airport and that it was unusual for this airport... And then they start to talk about "negroes" in Denmark in general... Not nicely.
Then we get on the plane and because of my social anxiety we usually make sure that Im sitting in the window seat with atleast one of my parents or my younger brother next to me , but it was a short flight and I was feeling spry so I just sat where my ticket told me to sit, at the aisle across from my family.
While I put my luggage in the overhead compartment someone poked me on the shoulder and asked me in the worst Danglish if this was my seat and if they could scooch by. At first I didnt register who they were but I just heard the Danish accent and answered in Danish. The Guy repeats in English and I repeat in Danish and he just goes "Oh... You... you speak Danish". The whole trip he was turned awkwardly towards his lady friend rambling about whatever, avoiding any moment of silence while she just stared silently out the window.

I think it's likely that they're fake. They do seem a little too pat, to neat. That said, it's hard to say for sure because there definitely are people that stupid and oblivious. It's like Poe's Law. It's hard to come up with something so stupid that no one's ever done it. There's always some jackass.

Only in spelling. Given the depth of Danish orthography, I'd be surprised if non-Danish speakers recognized it.

Or a chair. Just sit down in a chair for five minutes, stand up and walk around the corner. When you come back the cat will be laying down where you were sitting, and you can just move the chair wherever you want the cat to go.

The spelling is similar "neger" but its pronounced really softly so I dont think white non Danish speakers would understand what it was. My mom was slow to learn danish but she found out real quick what that word and the expletives that would usually follow it meant.

It was reeeeally bad in the city I grew up in but I moved to a bigger city and it's a lot better here.
I run in a circle of non garbage people who thinks that my other culture is cool and interesting but I still occasionally have to tell strangers not to touch my hair, that it is in fact very uncool and unfunny to make monkey and poo poo jokes about black people and that I would like if they didn't use the neger word around me. They usually want to argue this and get really mad about it and ironically tell me that I'm too sensitive.
