Desmond was raised in a secluded group where everyone was treated mostly equal (leaving out the difference in treatment through ranks or skill) but there wasn't racism or homophobia so imagine how absolutely confused he was when he started working at the bar and some conservative came up to the bar, gave him a dirty look and loudly remarked "can I get someone who speaks English to pour my drink?" While glaring at Desmond. Meanwhile, young confused gives him a look and is like "I can speak english?"

They end up going back and forth for a few minutes with the conservative guy making all sorts of racist remarks and confused Desmond, shutting those remarks down. Eventually, the guy gets fed up and storms out of the bar, and Desmond's coworkers have to explain racism to him.

#oh the way ''and desmond's coworkers have to explain racism to him'' made me LAUGH #just the absolute absurdity of that conversation #at first his coworkers think it was a tactic to deal with the bigot but then hes #legitimately flabbergasted #and his coworkers are flabbergasted right back for entirely different reasons #like if THIS is the reveal to them that he was raised in a cult? like des just hadnt mentioned it until then?#and then the CONFUSION of ''your doomsday cult... taught you tolerance and equality?''#and des is like ''i have no idea what those two words mean in this context''#humor #desmond #to fic #other people's writing
