At the Foodcourt: Cornwall Center

-Ya know what my buddy said to me? He was like, Isn't it weird how First Nations, or wait, Aboriginals. What are you supposed to call them now?
-I think they're actually interchangeable. You just have to say, peoples, at the end.
-Really? Why?
-I don't know. It's politically correct cause if you just say, Aboriginals, you're like objectifying the group as a thing rather than people. Or something.
-Well, anyway. He was like, isn't it weird how if they lived in San Diego, people would probably just think they're Mexicans.
-Oh my gosh, what an idiot.
-I know. He just said it out of the blue.
-What'd you say?
-I don't know... But I guess if you think about it, if a Mexican lived here, I'd probably think he was an Aboriginal. Aboriginal Person, sorry. Am I supposed to say Mexican Person, then?
-I don't know, haha.
-Mexicanos?
-I don't think it's the same.
-Tacos?
-Oh my god.
-That was bad, sorry.
-You're such an idiot.

  1. There was this Native North American who appeared to be drunk, and was looking for the airport in Yorkton. An American asked me if he was an immigrant worker.
