Conversation with a 99%-er.


A few months ago, me and my one (Asian-Canadian) friend hit up a film festival screening with a free post-screening reception with open bar, then we headed out afterwards to grab a drink near where he was meeting someone later.

Right after we left, we ended up on the subway platform next to some (white) (male) Occupier, who somehow began giving us dietary advice about sugars and carbohydrates, because my one (Asian-Canadian) friend was talking effusively about Canada’s version of the food pyramid.

“I thought the tip of the pyramid was the rich,” I was like, “’Eat sparingly, as a treat.’”

At that, the Occupier started laughing, and being like, “I applaud you, sir, I applaud you.”
