Sitting in the book section of Target, my best friend and I were geeking out to Hamilton and judging the covers of some romance novels pretty hard. We were relaxing and just sipping our bubble tea when a group of white boys wandered into the book section as well. It was clear that they were trying to flirt with us because they came unnecessarily close to where we were and were talking about the most random thing ever: capitalism.
Who in the world uses capitalism to flirt with two girls? Especially with an Asian Jew and a Muslim girl?
One of the preppy white boys turned to his friend and literally said: "Yo, capitalism dude!"
I internally cringed at that and then turned to my friend and started chanting: "Communism! Communism!"
She joined in my chanting and the boys looked at us weirdly and then slowly backed away out of the book section of Target.
I smirked.
Let's just say, none of us got boyfriends that day.
