Today, I finally found out why my new co-worker has been shooting me dirty looks, being rude to me, and generally trying to avoid me. It's because I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and she thinks people like me are Nazis. FML

Today, I finally found out why my wife always told me to never visit her at work. You see, my wife and I are dark haired with blue/brown eyes and our daughter is blonde with very striking emerald green eyes. You know who else is blonde with striking emerald eyes? My wife’s boss. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I look like her ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, I was sent home from work because my new haircut "looks too much like Hitler's" FML
Today, I found out that ever since I got my blonde highlights, I've been mocked behind my back at work, and nicknamed "The Skunk". FML
Today, I got a coworker at my new job in trouble, because he kept harassing me and asking me out, even after I clearly told him I wasn't interested. Turns out he's very popular around here, and everyone now hates me for being a trouble-maker and not "taking a compliment." FML
Today, I found out why my coworkers never invite me anywhere. Apparently, I "made a face" when one of them used the N-word, and it makes them uncomfortable to be around me. FML
Today, at work, I was making an appointment for an old lady who told me, "You look like a movie star!" I started to thank her when she followed up with, "Like that girl from the horror movie! Your black hair and pale skin makes you look scary! Oh, sorry…" with the coworker I hate the most sitting right next to me. FML
Today, there was a new girl in one of my classes. We both corrected a classmate on his grammar, so, trying to make a new friend, I leaned back to her and said, "Haha, fellow Grammar Nazi?" She gave me a disgusted look and told me she was Jewish. FML
Today, my girlfriend's overprotective parents decided that I'm a bad influence on their daughter. I'm a straight A engineering student who openly speaks out against drugs, alcohol, and discrimination. Their reason? Someone told them I dyed my hair black. They think I'm a "closet Nazi". FML
Today, my boss told me I got my new job because she rejected candidates that seemed "too confident" or "too pretty." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That is unfortunate, but maybe you can have fun with it if there is no convincing them other wise.

I feel your pain. My mom's dad was an immigrant from Germany. His mom smuggled him and his brother with her to America because he was mandated to join Hitler's Young Army when he turned six, and she wasn't gonna have that. His dad was left behind and killed by the Nazis, so needless to say he has a very low opinion of them. I didn't meet him until i was thirteen. He called me an aryan bitch and said I was the devil's child. My hair is naturally really dark and I have blue eyes, but it was spring so I was outside a lot and the sun streaked my hair with blond. Some people are just really ignorant. Sometimes there is a reason, and some times there isn't. You just can't let it get to you.

Part of my family did the same think smuggling your way out of Germany.

You mean she thinks you're Arian?

You are automatically considered Aryan if you have blond hair and blue eyes, whether you are a Nazi or not. Surprisingly a lot of people aren't aware of the difference. Maybe it only surprises me because my grandpa was an immigrant, though. **shrugs**

Aryan* but yes pretty sure thats what OP means

The funny thing is that the term "Aryan" is a corruption of the word "Iranian". I guess propagandists and anti-Semites aren't that great at geography....
lysx84 24
Nuh-uh. It comes from the Sanskrit for "noble". Though Iranian tribes used it to describe/self name their groups.

To the point that "Iran" is Persian for "Persia", due to the noble roots of the word the name of the country was changed at the suggestion of an Iranian ambassador who happened to become a Nazi.
chinaski7628 32
Yes, it's a Sanskrit word meaning noble. It also refers to an ethnic/geographic region (Iran is the modern spelling and it is derived from the Sanskrit word). I'm not sure about the Iranian ambassador bit, but Arya/Iran has been the name of the region since ancient times (Persia refers to a much larger geographic area). I may have phrased my initial comment badly, but it was German propagandists in the 19th century who co-opted the term, mainly for the "noble" bit. By the time Hitler came around, it had come to mean a person with light skin, blond(e) hair, blue eyes. Anyway, my initial intent was just to point out how corruptive, misleading, and stupid propaganda can be (since the real Aryan race is a far cry from what Hitler envisioned). Linguistics is my degree subject and I so rarely get to talk about it :)

There's so much irony in her being a type-casting bitch.
