So the other day when I was talking with a (black) administrative assistant at school, she had mentioned that on the weekend her friend had had a card party that she went to.
"Like what kind of cards?", I was like. "Poker? Canasta? Uno?"
"[the nickname version of my first name]," she was like, "Don't you know I'm black?"
"What does that have to do with anything?", I was like.
Then, she told me that the card game that (black) people tend to play - not just in the city, but across the U.S. - is "bid whist".
"It's like Spades," she was like, "Only with a different style of bidding."
