We hope you can forgive us for missing this last week, but hey, better late than never, right? And anyway, the bigger offense would be letting you live your lives without knowing that people like this actually exist.
Yesika Salgado is apparently a poet. But her greatest calling, it would seem, is being the Über passenger from hell:

Speaking of exhausting, how badly does the thought of encountering someone like Yesika make you want to slam your head against your desk right now?
Did you not feel the least bit of shame tweeting that?

Nope. She doesn’t:
There are old black and brown men that probably would have asked the same (and women too)

I am speaking of white men.

Yeah, we got that. What we don’t get is how you’re a real person.
Damn white people and their

If you're offended that somebody with a low status job thinks they have a shot at your high status job, be sure to say the magic words "old white men" because then you're being super-radical

Where’s the correlation between being white and trying to make small talk? Seems like someone wanted to go off on twitter and get a few likes

So he did the exact opposite of "mainsplaining" and you still complained, white dudes just can't win can they ?

Guess not.
As a white male, I'm going to refuse to speak to anybody but white males in real life lest I offend by engaging in innocuous conversation. https://t.co/QILvdQE6mk

We’re not professional poets like Yesika or anything, but we’ve written a poem just for her:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Everything is terrible
But especially you.
