You wouldn’t believe how many ‘you remind me of this one Asian woman I had an affair with in 1988 she was really beautiful’ messages I get here

@cmccullough @sashin @skinnylatte yeah it was pretty weird because it was also in his hotel room and this was my senior year at college. So it was just me and this old white guy. It was for a leadership program that they had at the time (possibly for minorities?). He said I hired an Oriental once and she was a real hard worker. 🤦‍♀️
