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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer called me "chink eyes", "dog eater", "bloody Chinese communist" and "ching chong." I'm black. FML
Today, while walking home, I passed some guy loudly whining that foreign imports are destroying our economy, and that we should all be deported. When I pointed out that the mobile phone in his hand was clearly a Samsung, he turned bright red and punched me in the gut. FML
Today, I introduced my Chinese-born girlfriend to the rest of the family. My uncle immediately blurted out, "He's dating a communist." FML
Today, I was asked to prove that I was Chinese by translating the phrase, "Ching chong ming chang ho". I'm not even Chinese. FML
Today, while riding the subway a homeless man got on asking for money. I went to give him a dollar but he refused because I was "of the Asian persuasion." FML
Today, while at the Golden Gate Bridge, I spotted a large group of Asians trying to take a picture. Trying to help, I slowly say, "You... want me... take picture?" while using hand motions. The man looks at me and says, "No thanks asshole, I got it," in plain English. FML
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
Today, I learned that the guy I was dating got with me under the impression that I was Asian. I have Asian features but I’m from Kazakhstan, which is a former Soviet country part of Asia. When I told him I spoke Russian, he called me a “communist Putin puppet” and to “stop making up fake countries.” FML
Today, my teacher called me "stupid and ignorant" for referring to myself as Asian. I'm from Pakistan. Pakistan is in Asia. FML
Today, three teenage punks harassed me spewing made up Chinese. They might've scored a bingo, because a group of royally pissed off Chinese men came and attacked them. The cops arrived and took them, and me, not believing that I wasn't with them. Their evidence: one of punk's phones shows one of them consoling me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

To understand this, one has to keep in mind that the Republic of China ('Taiwan') sees itself as independent nowadays, whereas the Peoples Republic of China ('China'in the classical meaning) perpetrates a fairly aggressive 'One China policy' that even lays out potential military actions. With that in mind, it´s easy to guess that this guy must be one of those who strongly believe into everything that the higher-up of PR Chinas government say; you could say he was 'indoctrinated'.

Hence why I made the comment about him being "bitter." Communist mainland china views Taiwan as a province that didn't surrender to the PRC at the end of their civil war. Since they (Taiwan) reject the only "valid" government of China, mainland Chinese view Taiwanese as traitors.

spitting on someone is considered assault, you had the legal right to either physically defend yourself or call the police, press charges and laugh as that bitch sits in prison.

I hate when people use history to dictate what type of people we are.

I don't say this often but that sounds like a hate crime. Always call the police for people like that if you can.

Charge him for assault with a deadly weapon. Get tested, that's just nasty and so wrong of him. Sorry op.
