You know what they say about assumptions

I walked into the cafeteria at work and, as I passed one of the cafeteria ladies, I pouted and rubbed my tummy.

Me: ¡Tengo hambre, Angie!
Angie: Ha ha, you're just like my kids! But wait, why do you think I understand Spanish? Because of the color of my skin?
Me: Wh...
Angie: Ha ha, I'm just playing with you. You're crazy!

One of the guys at work is a young Puerto Rican that listens exclusively to rap and R&B. We were working on servers together and I heard him hum the tune to "It's a Hard Knock Life".

Me: Wait, was that "It's a Hard Knock Life"?
Julio: Yeah, I love that song.
Me: Really.
Julio: Love it. I was listening to it on the way in. Jay-Z was just killin' it.
Me: Jay-Z?
Wayne: Kurt, I don't think he's seen "Annie".
Julio: Annie?
Me: Oh Julio, you'd love it. It's the touching story of a young white girl who overcomes adversity.
Julio: That doesn't sound like my kind of thing.
