Hoffmeister means "House Master." You know, from the times when they used to own slaves.
I would have legally change my name hell I was gonna do it anyways because I dont like my current name but fuck
Also from the sound of it you don't know him well which makes this worst
You know what's even worse? He's wrong. It doesn't mean house master it means court master. It's what you call a chamberlain for a royal court or other nobility.
It wasn't a slave thing, it was usually considered a position of honour.
Amazing. Layers of ignorance for an already dumb thing to say.
You wanna know the funniest thing about this?
I'm also Dutch
As with many travelers in Australia, we both had work/holiday visa's that allowed us to stay in Australia for 1-2 years. This wonderful comment was thrown at me within the first week of arriving at a hostel in Sydney.
Fortunately they left a month or two later but I still avoided them when they did still live there.
