Excited
I’ll just let Minneapolis-based Star Tribune Thomas Lee do the talking on this one: “I went to Fridley to interview the president of a large manufacturing company. I arrived a few minutes before noon and told the receptionist at the front desk I was looking for the president’s executive assistant. ‘Oh. Are you delivering food?’ she asked. Oh, no, she didn’t! [...] I was wearing a dress shirt, black slacks and black dress shoes. True, I was sporting a backpack and sunglasses, but how many food delivery guys whip out kung pao chicken from a Gap bag?” I don’t know, Thomas; maybe it was a really classy Chinese restaurant. Oh no she di’int, indeed. (h/t: @rohnjaymiller)

I'm from Minneapolis; I read this yesterday online. Did anyone read the comments to this article on the Star Tribune website? They made me sad.

Typical. Nothing new here. I get keys tossed to me all the time when I am waiting outside a restaurant for the valet. Also, when I'm shopping, white folks are always asking me for help. For the most part it doesn't bother me too much, but it does in a professional environment.
I will third the sentiment: Oh no she di'in't!
