I hear the same thing from black adults occasionally at work.
I simply say,”wow,thats terrible.We need to hit the streets immediately and demand this racist crap stop NOW”
I get a funny look and then its back to card games and blatherings about the latest Tyler Perry movie.

I was only kidding. I only mentioned The Office because it more or less put Scranton on the map. Sure, it’s actually a fairly large metropolitan area in Pennsylvania, but before Dunder-Mifflin nobody really knew about it.

I was also apparently mistaken about the meaning of “hayna,” which I had confused with a Pennsylvania Dutch saying that means pretty much anything.

The first anyone heard of Scranton?

Why, it’s the childhood home of Edith Bunker!

But, we’re still looking for the origin of “Heyna o nuh?”

I had one black student tell me that after their right to vote would be taken away there would be a national attempt to reinstall slavery.
He swears to me this is true.

I guess they just don't open up to me because I'm a proponent of global warming. (Canada + Russia warmer = more living space for everyone.)

Well, depending where you are from it could be pronounced ‘ennah’ as in ‘ennah o no?’
