Pasting some text from Facebook:

There’s this 24-hour sandwich kiosk near my job run by a Muslim guy and during prayers, the Central American dude working at the pretzel cart next to him will step in and take over for a bit to help him out. When the pretzel guy can’t, regular customers respectfully wait in line until they can be attended.

This morning some tourists wearing fanny packs and crucifixes were bitching about having to wait three minutes (he was almost done) and a freaking nun in the queue turned around and said “my brother is praying, show some respect” and before the mouthiest of the tourists could respond, this ENORMOUS Armenian construction worker who is the absolute nicest man and says good morning to everyone every single day turns around and says “Are you gonna fuckin’ argue with a fuckin’ nun? gently caress outta here! Yo, Sister, ‘scuse my language, but Christ. Oh poo poo, I didn’t mean that. I’ll stop tawkin’ now.”

AND the Sister gave him a very sly fist bump and now I have coffee in my nasal passages.

I. Seriously. Love. This. City. Sometimes.

what've we got here?


-insane WASPs (with stereotypical fanny packs and crucifixes so we know they're catholics who hate muslims) complaining about 'them forners'

-radical nun whos actually hella cool with the religion thats nearly an antithesis of her own

-enormous construction worker, specifically mentioned because USUALLY both of those traits mean you're mean and racist, but this one was actually super cool

-nun doin badass poo poo like fist bumpin a dude. ever see a nun do that? bet u haven't. woah!!! (this is basically the same cliche as the 'swearing grandmother')

-happy moral tale that lets the teller live vicariously through X (in this case their city) even though they didnt do anything

The big tell is the construction worker's dialogue and dialect, and how he shares a fist bump with the nun. The nun is a variant on the hip/wacky grandma. The construction worker fills the same role that biker dudes tend to.

The detail of the tourists all wearing fanny packs and crucifixes feels like something from a NAR story.

Edit: I see your friend a dog said this better
Also I like how the Muslim guy they're defending doesn't have any agency and doesn't even get to say a single thing.

I'm gonna have to disagree that two monotheistic religions that identify Abraham as a patriarch and started in the Middle East are antithetical. More to the point, a lot of religious people are quite tolerant of other religions, especially if they're locally minorities (not sure where this is supposed to be, but there are a lot of places where Catholics are minorities).

nuns are usually pretty hardline christians in my experience. and christians and muslims do not get along at all from a religious stand point. one might object to someone harassing a muslim, but they'd never call one doing their prayers their 'brother'

Anglicans wear them too. But my point was more that White Anglo-Saxon Protestants aren't usually Catholic.

quote:

Leland shared his story on Facebook when he returned home, writing: “I was feeling pretty jaded this morning as two different sets of parents at Walmart stopped me in the school supplies aisle to complain about how much they had to get their kids this year. ‘This is just ridiculous. I don’t know how these teachers think we are supposed to get all this stuff.’”

He added: “As they complained, they seemed to be oblivious to the fact that my cart was filled with a class set of all the supplies they were buying — which should have been a pretty clear indication that I was one of those greedy teachers they were complaining about.”

Leland then headed to the register, explaining: “While I was checking out, though, things took a very different turn. I noticed the man in front of me in the checkout lane was buying school supplies for his daughter. As he went to leave, he said to me, ‘You are a teacher, right? I just want to thank you for everything you do. I see your cart is full with supplies, and I just wanted to help out as much as I can.’”

After hearing the previous complaints, he was likely taken aback a bit, sharing that the man “handed me a $25 Wal-Mart gift card, shook my hand, and walked away with his daughter smiling big at me.”

He was, of course, thankful for th gesture, but there was something else, he explained: “While I was extremely moved by the man’s generosity, the part that stuck with me the most was the difference in his message to his daughter compared with the parents who had been complaining earlier.”

Leland noted: “The kids who heard their parents complaining heard this message: ‘School is not important enough to spend money on it, teachers are not to be trusted and have bad judgment, and learning does not require investment.’” In comparison, he said: “The kid whose dad handed me the gift card heard: ‘School is important enough that we should give more than required to make sure it is successful, teachers should be respected and valued, and learning requires us giving it everything we have.’”

It was definitely a turnaround in Leland’s day!
