At one bus stop a 40-ish intoxicated black man (not me) boarded the bus. At the next stop a 70 -ish bearded man boarded. The bearded man stood near were the drunk was seated, which was next to me.
Drunk Dude: You a jew, ain't you?
Bearded Dude: (Chuckled) Why yes. Did the beard give it away?
Drunk Dude: Orthodox right?
Bearded Dude: Yes, I am...
Drunk Dude: See, I knew that shit
Bearded Dude: Excuse me?
Drunk Dude: I bet you didn't know that black people are the real jews. Real jews are dark, you real white.
Bearded Dude: (Chuckles) Yes, I realize that biblical Jews were of darker skin... Well, my mother is Norwegian.
Drunk Dude: If you know that you ain't no real jew, why you goin around pretendin?
*A seat quickly opened at the front of the bus. The orthodox jewish man was steaming. Even with his glasses, mask, and beard you could tell he was livid.
Drunk Dude: See that, they get mad when you tell the truth.
Elderly Church Lady: I hear you bother, the Bible tells a different story.
The lady and drunk dude continued to talk about; the bible, Black Jesus, and the fact that she reminded him of his late "Rest her soul" great-grandmother.
*It took every ounce of control I had to not tell them to STFU!
