A tale of a local bartender.

So, the one local "Wings and Rings" is sometimes called "Wings and Kings" by the (white) locals, because of all the people of color who go there.

And, the bartender there is a (young) (pretty flamboyant) (black) (gay) dude.

When I was putting in facetime in local bars the other week, then, we were chit-chatting, and he said that as (white) locals have started to sometimes go there, they've gotten kind of protective of him, and they've told him that if he ever has any problems with people, to let them know, and they'd take care of it for him.

"Have you ever had any problems?", I was like.

"No," he was like, which was kind of interesting in itself, because that means that they all assume that the neighborhood is somehow worse or more prejudiced than it is.
