We've all got that friend who, when asked where they are from, they answer with five different ethnicities. I know I do. Not sure if you could live with them, but I could definitely never live without them! Is your best friend described below?
1. You now have the hearing of an 80-year old, because your Level 2 is her Level 10 and “indoor voice” is not in her vocabulary.
2. Forget TV sitcom classics, foreign shows are where it’s at.
"Cuckoo," a British sitcom, is No. 1 on me and my best friend’s Netflix queue.
3. Her food standards are a little higher than the “Basic White Girl” meal.
Of course we enjoy the occasional fries and a burger, but Girl's Nights usually include spice and everything nice.
4. Her Spotify playlist consists of more foreign beats and less Jason Derulo.
Expect some crazy jam sessions when this friend has control of the aux.
5. Meeting the family is almost as big a deal as bringing a boyfriend home.
But don’t be nervous, because her family has the volume of a sold-out concert and really has no filter. You'll be able to understand about 80 percent of the conversation. So hurry and make Google Translate a tab on Safari.
6. She screams and squeals, “Fam!” when an ethnic actor or actress is on TV or on the cover of a magazine.
7. There's a language barrier and you beg her to translate for you.
Suddenly, you're insulting each other in another language (all out of love, of course).
8. You are absolutely livid when she comes home from vacation and hasn't tanned.
Why? It's because she apparently didn't even pack a bathing suit and spent the whole cruise indoors to avoid getting any darker.
9. You can forget her crushing on "cookie-cutter" guys.
Believe it or not, she really doesn't have a type! Today it was the 30-year old dad at the gym, but last week it was the nerd from accounting club. But you can always count on one thing: She never likes her own kind.
10. Plain drinking water just won't cut it.
She must roll into the library with a new exotic drink everyday. Whether it be aloe, horchata or some weird vitamin drink, those ethnic taste buds are picky.
If any of these reasons describe your best friend, it's no secret you've got your hands full, but you wouldn't have it any other way! She's the peanut butter to your jelly, the ketchup to your hot dog and the Louis to your Vuitton. You stay cultured because of her, and you're definitely more sensitive to America's immigration policy, because you two can hardly miss a meal together (@realDonaldTrump).
