lo siento or, I swear I’m not racist

I was thinking yesterday about something real stupid I did a week or so ago and thought maybe you wanted to laugh at me about it. Aaron and I were out to dinner with some single friends who are looking for soulmates, and Aaron was telling them what his list of requirements in finding a girlfriend/wife was (before he met me of course). He was listing things like: “short, surfer, smart, blond” then right after blond he says “mexican”. We all laugh and then I practically shout (it was a loud restaurant) “since when do you like mexicans?” And proceed to look up and see 3 beautiful latina women at the next table getting up to leave. Of course one heard me, and gave me a good stare down, then said something to her friend, who then proceeded to give me dirty looks. And I wanted real bad to start talking to them in Spanish (although would that have helped?) and explain what we were talking about. But I didn’t. And I was kind of ashamed. The end.
