So today, after not cutting my hair 2 years, I went and got a haircut. Oh my goodness...so much better! I got a few layers in it and so I got the hairstylists name (Sally) and will be going to her to maintain this nice, light, shorter 'do. But to the point of this story is what happened while I was getting my hair done. My husband, Johnny, was also there sitting in the waiting area watching Emmett while I got my hair done; so he too witness what happened.
Let me also preface this with Vegas has a huge diverse population. VERY DIFFERENT from the Orange County i grew up in where people were a little more segregated when it came to race and culture. I also live in Silverado Ranch, which the Las Vegas Sun newspaper said in 2009 is the most diverse neighborhood in Las Vegas...and in a good way. :)
One of the stylists in the salon was a bigger lady, super-white (and when I say super white...i mean probably grew up in an all white town and very ignorant, and dorky). So, this stylist did not have any clients and decided to walk around the salon and talk to people; First, unfortunately, my husband. eeek. She walked over and said how adorable our son was (thanku), but then started on how she is 33 and is getting too old to have kids and how she got a plant, and then a dog, and now she is working on finding a man. And how is Johnny supposed to react...he says "well my brother is 35 and just had a kid so you will be fine." But then she starts talking about her man finding problems and he is like "wtf.?"
Like why are you talking to my husband about this and what is he even supposed to say, right. So finally this broad gets the clue to leave, but then walks over to the only black guy in the salon getting his cornrows done by the only black stylist in the salon and says..."so who is tougher...Snoog Dogg or Ice Cube?"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! really now....you are really going to walk up to the only black people in the salon and ask a racist question like that?!
You should have seen the look on the dudes face and the stylist. After she asked that question...I looked up at Sally and said "Is this really happening right now?"
Sally just rolled her eyes and apparently this is how this stupid girl always acts....so sad.
And if you even have to ask why that question is racist...then you are just as ignorant as super-white-stylist over here. Let me explain a little. She went around the salon talking to other people about normal stupid shiz...but she walks up to the "colored" folk and feels she needs to ask them a question about 2 black rap artists, whom she obviously knows nothing about, and feels that is the only way she can talk to this black guy. They just gave her some half ass answer. But then she continues to proceed how she loves rap and she can do "gansta moves" and starts waving her arm around like Eminem and acting like a damn fool. Seriously...I was embarrassed for her.
Then to top it off...another dorky stylists comes up and says since the manager is going home...she is the boss now and proceeds to whip out her iPhone, pulls up an App that makes a whip sound when you move your phone, and pretends to be whipping the stylist who is black and says "i'm your boss now, you better work or I'm gonna whip you!" Like we need to add to the chip on the shoulder ladies. SERIOUSLY!
Johnny was supposed to get his haircut next, but after that display of ignorance...he decided it best for the "Mexican" to go to another salon before the super-white-stylists asks if del taco or taco bell is the better Mexican food. LOL...
All in All...it was pretty fun and entertaining. I have another great story about Johnny's haircut next time and about the space cadet stylist who believed Johnny's made up name. oh fun-ness
