    When I was growing up my dad would adopt a random “foreign” sounding accent when ordering from people who weren’t white even if they spoke with a normal American English accent.

      Picturing your dad delivering his Applebee's order like a samurai in a Kurosawa movie to some 17 year old Indian girl born in Minnesota.

        We used to go to this bbq place and everybody there was Latino but definitely born in America, and he’d be like “tüü! …. Tüü chahp beef!!” And they’d be like “you want a chopped beef sandwich sir..?” And he’d be like “si si… tu shahp beef” and I’d just try to look as apologetic as i could lol
