Today, I went to Home Depot with my boyfriend. There were a large number of men at the front of the store speaking Spanish. As we left, he ran back inside shouting, "LA MIGRA! LA MIGRA ESTA AQUI!" They screamed and ran in panic. I am dating a racist scumbag who thinks terrorizing minorities is funny. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, after five years of being with my boyfriend, I found out that he is apparently very xenophobic. FML
Today, while working at Subway I joked with a customer asking him if he was going to order in Spanish. The women in front of him began yelling about how I was being racist and told my manager that I needed to be fired. The customer I was joking with was my Spanish teacher. FML
Today, while driving home from work, I saw my boyfriend mugging a woman on the sidewalk. FML
Today, I ran into my boyfriend at the mall, the same boyfriend who'd told me he was going on a family vacation to Mexico. 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
Today, I showed up at my boyfriend's work to surprise him by speaking in Spanish, his first language. I've been taking classes secretly. He smiled, kissed me, and then finished telling his friend, in Spanish, that I'm boring and ugly but he's got nothing better going on. FML
Today, I got fired, apparently for being racist to black people. When I told my boyfriend, he couldn't stop laughing. He's black. FML
Today, I was protesting a newly-opened gun store near my house, demanding safer streets and fewer firearms. My husband and the troglodytes he works with turned up and went inside to browse. Later, he raged at me for embarrassing him in front of his buddies. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm so tired of hate towards immigrants. Everyone agrees we need a border and immigration enforcement. But the immigrants who are here to work, raise families and earn their living are not a problem. They make America better and richer. If you want to limit illegal workers, then increase legal pathways, and crack down on the wealthy people who hire illegal immigrants. Harassing people who work the hardest for the lowest wages is something hateful A-holes would do. It makes everything worse. To recap, prosecute illegal employers, prosecute actual drug smugglers and criminals, and make it easier for people who want to pick fruit and build houses for low wages to do it. They are good people who don't deserve the hate.

But you picked him to be your boyfriend. This tidbit about him probably came up before but you overlooked it because you were so into him (it happens). People tend to overlook red flags that can be seen from space. This shouldn’t come off as a shock to you. Learn to pick better next time.

@copalolita - Did you get picked yet?

Why would it terrorize anyone? Isn't that racist to assume that just because they speak spanish they are illegal immigrants?

That's a tricky one, but without due process what prevents authoritarian figures from just saying your paperwork is forged?

OP's boyfriend didn't even know their status, until they snitched on themselves. It's not his fault that they freaked out and ran away. 🤣

These ♂️ and pick me ♀️ victim blaming OP, like some ♂️ never hide their true selves for years in relationships. Dump him, OP.

I wanna challenge this. There are ALWAYS signs that someone is not a good person. People tend to overlook them because of the dopamine rush at the beginning of a relationship. It happens to the best of us. That’s why before we get in a relationship ask questions, gague their personalities. How do so many people end up so deep into relationships without realizing just how homophobic/misogynistic/racist/etc their partners are? What did y’all talk about before you dated? The weather?
