The Origin of awkward times are throughout history. Like talking about the holocaust with Jews, or wtih an overly obese person about their weight. Moments that make you'reself feel so good that you're not that person. Like when "Kramer" on his racist comedy show <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pp6WC1Ocz4>. Please try and stray away from awkward moments like these, but at least make fun of them.
