The same night me and my one (Asian-Canadian) friend were out barhopping, we ended up at this local bar in the hipster area that's managed to remain very local, and since it was the night of their Oktoberfest, they had a tray of free bratwurst in the back, next to a tray of sweet-and-sour German potatoes and a stack of paper plates and forks.
We ended up eating that shit and talking with patrons, and one pulled out from behind a countertop electronic gaming machine a framed Yelp review where a guy not only trashed everyone in the place (including the women, none of whom he said were "pokeable"), but with enough detail so you could tell exactly who everyone was.
"Isn't that so ridiculous?", the one (late 30s) (white) girl in a felt Bavarian hat said. "Some of them we get erased, but that was so ridiculous, we just had to keep it."
Right before we left, too, she was saying her mom was a nun and had actually gone to the all-girls high school where my great aunt the nun was an accountant, and had lived on campus since she was part of the group of girls who were on the track to become nuns.
She went all the way up to be a postulant, and then one day they had an outing to go see this new movie, "The Sound of Music", and she realized that she was interested in other paths.
To this day, though, she loves nuns, and at her 50th birthday party she had all the women dress up like them.
