Was it Discrimination?

Sorry, this is the first time im starting a topic, I don't really know the rules yet. If this is offensive, then you can close it, no problem. 😊

You a Desi girl. Ok, so lets say you have to pick up your CD from your friend. Your friend is, lets say Spanish. You both decide to meet at a store that is close to your friends house. But you aren't sure where that store is. So, you decide to meet at the store, lets say Burger King, that's a little bit farther then the first store. You come with your father to Burger King and meet your friend. You decide to give her a lift, when dropping her you notice that their was a Mc Donald's closer to her house then Burger King was. You and your friend just didn't notice it while deciding on a meeting place. You drop your friend, and you and your father are going home.

Now, the conclusion your father makes out of this, is that your friend told you to meet her at Burger King because, she wanted to meet her boy friend there. WHY DID HE COME TO THAT CONCLUSION?

Was it simply because, that's an obvious conclusion, or was it because your friend is, well in this case Spanish? If your friends was Desi or Middle Eastern, would his conclusion be the same?

What do you think. Why did the father some to this conclusion?

😆 well, that is something my dad would think as well. Sometimes parents know better than their children. I think perhaps the father was being a bit stereotypical. I don't he meant to discriminate. Fathers will always be fathers and sometimes I think parents don't realize that what they say can be offensive or hurtful.

Her father was probably thinking that "if McDonald's is closer to her house, why are we at Burger King". He must come to the conclusion that she wanted to see someone at Burger King.
