Autobiography

When I was a Junior in high school I was called a racist. I was sitting in the bleachers of my high school's gymnasium watching a Sophomore boys basketball game. The Holdrege Dusters' 10th graders were playing the Axtell Wildcats' Junior Varsity. While both teams were warming up, I was informed that two of Axtell's players were German foreign exchange students (they both had striking, blond hair). The game commenced and progressed. After some time, Axtell's team was severely behind and the game seemed to be in the Dusters' hands. With sheepish stares, the two German foreign exchange students sat at the end of the Wildcats' bench. I turned to a friend and stated, "They should put in the Germans." A girl sitting in front of me turned and said, "You're a racist, that was incredibly inappropriate," to which I replied, "Inappropriate? They're from Germany, aren't they?"
