And no, not the band. I actually really, really love the band Foreigner. They’re one of those groups that I’ve heard their music all the time growing up, and mostly in movies, like the Rocky series, but it wasn’t until I was older did I put two and two together, and realize that the band that sang the montage of my life growing up was in fact, Foreigner. But not thatForeigner, despite the fact that they undoubtedly rule. I’m talking about the word foreigner, when describing people.
I was standing in line at Starbucks (big surprise), and this girl up and conveniently “meets up” with a friend AKA completely cuts in line. It’s not really that long of a line, and I’m a pacifist and reluctant to make a confrontation over such a trite matter, so I begrudgingly let it slide.
The girl then begins talking about how she was leaving a particular location, at the same time as a whole lot of what I’m guessing were classmates. But she didn’t refer to them as classmates, she mentioned how “all the foreigners” left at the same time she did. I wrinkled my eyebrow at hearing this, as it’s been quite a while since I actually heard someone refer to people from other countries as specifically “foreigners” like this manner.
