Awkward and Racism: Asshats are everywhere

Asshats are everywhere

By hardtotell - 22/01/2010 00:45 - United States

Today, a man I don't know came up to me and started screaming about how "all you damn Mexicans were stealing American's jobs" and he stormed off. I'm Native American, and I'm pretty sure we've been here longer. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, while working at Kohl's this woman came up to me and asked if I was Native American, I said yes, she then says "Oh! I thought you guys went extinct." This is the country I live in. FML

Today, while I was doing my job as a groundskeeper, a couple of kids wearing MAGA hats threw garbage and rocks at me, then told me to "go back where you came from". I'm American, but I guess my beard makes me look like an immigrant or something, as this isn't the first time this has happened. FML

Today, I was at a mall. A woman stopped by me, said slowly and loudly, in Spanish "baño?" Knowing a bit of Spanish, I nodded and pointed the restrooms out for her. She then mutters about "dang Mexicans and their inability to speak English". I'm not even Latina. I'm Irish-American. FML

Some people don't belong in education

Today, we had a substitute teacher. She was taking attendance and had trouble pronouncing my last name. When I corrected her, I heard her mutter under her breath about, “Goddamn Mexican immigrants…” I’m from Greek ancestry, born in the USA. FML

Today, an Asian man approached me and called me pretty. I thanked him and he asked if I'm Chinese. When I said, "No, I'm Taiwanese" he promptly spat in my face and called me a "traitor to the motherland." FML

America, **** yeah

By BrazilianGal - 12/08/2021 02:01

Today, a lady at the clothing store told me to, “Stop speaking 'Mexicano', this is America!” when I was talking on the phone. I actually speak Portuguese. When I pointed this out, she verbally tortured me and threatened to, “Call the cops” if I didn’t leave her store for, “making her feel threatened.” FML

Today, a customer told me to go to the “fucking border back to illegal immigrant land” and that he can’t wait to “put Trump back in office” so he can get rid of “incompetent ass Mexican bitches” like me. What did I do to cause this? Tell him that we were out of a sauce. FML

First and last date

By Xyanthe - 18/03/2023 00:00

Today, my date was making remarks about “stupid illegals” and “immigrants are everything wrong with this country” because our waiter barely spoke English and apparently got his order wrong. When I reminded him I’m an immigrant, he said, “But you speak English and you’re legal, so you don’t count.” FML

Today, I was out drinking with some colleagues, when one started ranting about some pretty sensitive subjects. There were some Latino guys nearby, and as soon as he said "I'm not racist, but..." I tried to casually get the hell out of there. We all got the crap beaten out of us anyway. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I had breakfast with his grandmother. She told him how I'm prettier than "that Mexican" he'd brought home for dinner last week. We had dinner with her last week, and I'm that same Mexican. She then went on to how Mexicans are what's wrong with the economy. FML

You should have shouted back at him how "all you ******* english rejects come here and rape YOUR lands and people!" and then slapped him and walked away.

Ignore his ignorance. People like that are just mad that they're on welfare and can't get anywhere in life.

The problem with this in the USA, is that those assholes are becoming a majority. It is very hard to explain to WASP that a country that is about 300 YO, founded by British immigrants (they are not only English, they are many many Irish !) cannot say anything about immigration rules or restriction whatsoever. I mean, do these people have actually read what the Statue of Liberty says ? But because nobody does anything about this, people keep having the right to be raised abd thinking and saying those stupid things.

Really hope you pointed that out to him, along with your middle finger. That was just an asshole maneauver on his part. FYL OP, you don't deserve to be treated like that. We're a nation of immigrants, aside from the native's that somehow white ppl feel justified in depopulating. The rest of us all came from somewhere else at some point.

Wow, that guy was a complete piece of shit and even if OP was mexican, he has just as much a right to be there as the guy who had a go at him, seeing as native mexicans were actually pushed south out of southern states into what is now mexico.

spiderman0606 - dumbass. Coolsteve was saying that what is now 'mexico' was not always mexico... once upon a time it was just land. But now it has political borders and is called Mexico. And apparently native mexicans were once the native inhabitants of the southern states of america.

Haha and in Utah! That goes to show what an idiot he was. Utah was part of Mexico. I'm certain Mexicans were there first too, even if it's not only their descendants that are currently there.

one thing i love about racists in america is how they all hate foreigners coming to "their country" and stealing "their jobs" when to be honest if they bother to look a few hundered years back they'd find that THEY were the foreigners coming to SOMEONE ELSE'S country. The only people who are "truley" american are the native americans. BTW I'm not racist, anti-american or anything like that before anyone says anything lol (Y)

Hell, go back further than that and ultimately everyone is an immigrant bar a very, very small number of people in Africa. Most Americans are originally British, a good chunk of British people are originally Scandinavian... and you can keep tracing it back until you hit Pangaea and the origins of humanity. Sorry Xenophobes, you're immigrants too.

I think the concept of 'immigration' really only counts as far back as politically-determined country borders.

30 your right in a way but america has only been in control of "White Americans" for about 2-3 hundred years when the other countries have been controlled by the a nationality for a long long time :) also scotland and irish have originated from celts so they were there first too
