Racial stereotyping
I was eating at the DFAC the other day, and I heard a conversation at the next table. A Hispanic guy kept saying stuff like "Hey, homes..." and addressing the other guys as "homes." I didn't think it was unusual at all. But I did think it was weird that the white guy at the table would occasionally use it. About 15 minutes later I realized that one of the guys at the table actually was named Holmes, and that I had totally misunderstood what was going on. Oops.
