Skating lesson at Iceland Rink --
Learning how to fall down "My pants are too tight."
Skating around with the instructor: "My pants are falling down."
Watching the instructor move into a spin: "Hell no."
Leaving the rink: "My ankles can't take that."
Post-reaction by one dude: "Yeah, I was the best player out there."
Another: "Will I be coming back? ... No!"
ETA:
Funny, yet stereotypical reactions that obviously don't equate to the skating ability for an entire group of people. Lots of very accomplished black skaters out there, including Mabel Fairbanks, Atoy Wilson, Tai Babilonia, Debi Thomas, Philip Warren, Emmanuel Savary, Derrick Delmore, Surya Bonaly, Vanessa James, Mae-Berenice Meite, and many others.
