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, I saw a homeless man on the street and decided to give him the dollar bill I had left in my wallet. He said "Thank you" then as I turned to walk away, he muttered "Cheap-ass cunt". FML

Today, a homeless man asked me for money in a train station bathroom. When I told him I had no money he left. He then returned only to pour a bottle full of urine on my head while I was in the stall. I use a metro card. I honestly had no money. FML

Today, I passed a homeless person asking for change. When I politely apologized and told him that I had none, he yelled angrily, "Who comes to this city without money?" I replied, "Apparently, you do." Wrong answer. He followed me, now screaming. FML

Today, I was riding on my bike when I saw a homeless guy holding a sign saying, "Need money, stranded from Oklahoma." I decided to be nice, and hopped off my bike to give him $2. He took the money, and then jacked my bike. FML

Today, while walking down the street, a homeless man walked up to me. He opened his mouth to say something and I immediately said that I didn't have any spare change because I was late for work. He then said "I was gonna ask you for the time, dickwad". Apparently he wasn't homeless. FML

Today, I gave a homeless man my last bit of spare change so he could get on the bus. Just as I was about to get on too, I realized I'd lost my bus card. I had to get off the bus and watch as the man waved at me through the window. FML

Beggars can't be choosers, and apparently you needed the money more than him. A kind gesture is never without reward, so cheer up OP, you get to keep a dollar!

While I agree with what you said, can I put a different perspective on it. Let me say first it is no excuse but depending on their age, he could be a veteran from the Vietnam War. In which case he may still have some negative feelings there. Still not really an excuse.

For a lot of people, it's very hard to tell from which Oriental country someone is descended from.

You "just can't lol"? Although you said that you were laughing? Which one is it then?

I guess he can't be persuaded to be Asian. I've got a brick, and I'm ready to try

It's pretty crappy that he turned your money down. But, at the same time, he doesn't deserve your money if he's going to be so rude when you were offering your help.

The world is still terribly racist and judgmental, it's a shame.

Agreed. I think kids/teens are meanest, being a 13 year old little Asian girl myself. But hey, we've all been racist once in our life, whether or not it was purposefully.
