Whoops.
Me: I'm sorry to hear about the bill situation.
Mom: Yes. Nasty Africans.
Me: Mom! That's racist. And by the way, your tenants were Arabs, not Africans.
Mom: Arab is part of the African continent what.
Me: No, mom. It's in the Middle East.
Mom: Oh, ok then. Nasty Arab girls.
Mom has got to learn that the word 'nasty' has got a cruddy connotation in the 21st century, especially when paired with the term 'girls'.
