There is a bro bar one block from my house. It could be a good bar, all German beer, full bar, comfortable interior, but the bros are intolerable. I went there the other night after a tough day of watching my baby, just wanted to grab a shot and a beer to get over the screams of a fifteen months old ear infection. Lots of hand "hey bro, yea broing!" going on. I wasn't even there ten minutes, but I got to hear another abominable aspect of bro culture, racism. One of the bros got up and read about 20 adds he wrote for Chevy trucks. There were all variations of misogamy and racism. For example "Chevy, cause you aren't a fucking nigger." I really hate bros.

Take me to task for not standing up to what was going on if you like, I was burned out, and there were about eight aggressive bros, I just didn't have it in me. I kick dudes like that out of my bar, but just punked out that night I guess.

I think it's fine to just silently despise 8 aggressive racist bros every once in a while. You don't have to reenact the Alamo every time.

I'm surprised you could even understand what they were saying through their hoods...I guess I've been living in such a diverse and progressive city for so many years, I forget that places (and people) like that still exist. Sadly they do. And worse yet, they're probably breeders.

I live in an extreamly progressive city, watch out they will show up in your neighborhood soon.
