Is twilight some kind of racist comment?

My partner is a security guard and last night worked at an event where he was required to ask to see hotel keycards before allowing people into the lifts. One couple took offence to this and kicked up a big fuss and kept ranting about hating twilights they ended the rant with "your all just twilight you are". Neither my husband, the 2 other security guards, bar manager or night manager had a clue what they were talking about and its not a term ive ever heard, so thought id ask MN if anyone knows what they were refering too.

Can’t help, thought you were going to critique the movies. Maybe discrimination against vampires is a thing now?

BillywilliamV my first thought was what has asking to see a keycard got to do with vampires Hmm

Gosh it's not even in Urban Dictionary (just the time between day and night; and a "crap tween book")!

Where does race come into it?

Twilight can mean rubbish/shit/lame etc. because the books are atrocious.

Demelza sorry i should have clarified that within their rant they were throwing around other racial insults which is why i wondered if it was a racial slur that id never heard

I would have assumed they meant night workers, was it late at night? Confused

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 21/07/2019 08:13

Weezol that makes sense so they basically ended their rant by saying your all shit
