Whether it's foot in mouth, a sudden heavy subject, or some utter nonsense that you don't know how to process, what's something that's come up in an otherwise alright conversation that's stopped it dead in its track for both of you?

At an inspection for a rental property the agent, mid small talk, said "and I'm glad it's people like you (white, cishet couple) checking this place out, the owner is not keen to lease the place to people who aren't white".

The manager of my apartment complex said something similar. She was off to show an apartment that was vacant and came back with something like,"Well we had some of those other types look earlier, but I'm just going to send in this person's application." I had known her for years. Bit of a gut punch.
