Had a really wholesome interaction at the airport yesterday.

Airport attendant (A): Are you Japanese?

Me (M): Half.

A: I love Japanese culture.

M: Cool, thanks.

A: Oh no, that was weird huh, that's like you suddenly saying "Are you black? I love Black culture"

M: Can I say that?

A: I guess so.

M: I love Black culture, can you share what you did for the holidays?

A: <explains, asks what we did for Japanese versions>

M: <explains> I'd love to experience that one day.

A: How about I give you my number, and next year we can swap a plate?

M: Yes!

(Both parties in this are married and have kids, the number part sounds kind of weird written out but it wasn't weird in person haha)
