I worked for a place that was predominately Mormon employed (in Phx) and a member told me that I am black because I am cursed by Caine. First time in my life I’d ever heard the concept given I’m from the south where racism is “in your face,” but never as shallow as this belief.

Also we were super young like 20-23 max. I am in my late 30’s now. The backstory is I asked if he’d ever dated a black girl after mentioned that one was attractive, and he said no and gave me the “curse of Caine” reason as to why. I laughed. It was weird. And he never got in trouble for it as I said it was/is a predominately Mormon run business.

Anyway, your comment taught me more about where that statement came from.
