Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my coworker and I were swamped with coffee orders. I told him I would "take care of the blacks", and a customer who only heard that sentence screamed at me for several minutes about racism. FML

Today, I'm a gay, black man who moved to a racist, mainly white, homophobic town for work. I've already had the cops called on me twice, and a group of teens yelled the f-slur at me unprompted. When I asked my boss if I could swap, he threatened to fire me. This is gonna be a long 6 months. FML

Today, I was accused of being a "racist whore" at work. I'd only asked a man if he needed help finding anything, as that is part of my job. FML

Today, I apologised to someone for my misuse of the word 'coloured' in a discussion about ethnic minority issues. They then got even more angry and said that to even quote the word in the context of an apology is evidence of my ignorance and inherent racism. FML

Accidental racist
Today, I was accused of racism for mentioning that an employee can't read. That would've been racist… if she could actually read. FML
No thanks

Today, I was called a bitch and "freaky as hell" because I don't like watermelon. I'm sorry, but just because I'm black doesn't mean I like watermelon. FML

That's not fair, not all "black" people are African Americans. I'm Haitian American. Those people are being stereotypical because they think all "black" people come from Africa, when they clearly don't. Like RG3 was born in Japan!

Racism is making a statement about a certain type of people that is unfair. But people have gotten so ignorant that they think calling someone their skin color is racist. I really think that America is the most primitive country in the world, academically.

I hate when people say African American. Because not all "black" people are from Africa! Coming from a mixed race family, my dad was not even black, he was from Spain. And everyone called him African American. People thought he was black!

My best friend is black and he is of Haitian decent. He gets pissed that people call him African American since they automatically assume his family is originally from Africa.

Kinda sucks when you're on the other end of the accusation huh?

No. Do not make this about white people being accused of racism. While it sucks that some Social Justice Warriors will jump at the chance to call a white person racist, this is about the stupidity of such people forcing their opinions on someone they're allegedly trying to support. Its about stupidity, not petty payback or "ha now you know how it feels!".

Basically we are all the same only thing that makes us different is our epidermis people need to look at it that way and stop categorizing everything

That's America for you. You should know better than to not be overly PC and respect everyone's delicate little feelings. Shame on you.
