Today, I had to explain to my neighbor that not all black people are lactose intolerant. His eyes still bulge out every time I eat cheese. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my 23-year old boyfriend is not talking to me because I bought the regular kind of macaroni and cheese instead of the cartoon kind. FML
Today, my coworker pointed to our nervous new intern and asked who he was. I jokingly said, "Can't you tell? He's our new slave." I then quickly realized how bad that sounded, given the intern is black. FML
Today, my boss fired me for being "too morally ambiguous". I work at a bagel shop and had told a customer that I was indifferent towards cream cheese. FML
Today, I came across a tourist in the street asking people for directions, but nobody understood him. I speak English, so I went to help the gentleman out. He said "Knock it off with the cheesy accent, pal" and informed me that my country is a shithole. FML
Today, a colleague found out that I struggled with anorexia when young. After ranting about how it's a silly 'Women's disease', he renamed me 'Miss Piggy' and made oinking noises every time I ate something. FML
Today, I was together with a few of my friends when I got up the courage to confess I have an eating disorder. One of my friends then said "... but you're not skinny." FML
Today, as always, my boyfriend has the ability to pop his eyeballs out of his eye sockets. He thought it'd be funny for me to wake up face-to-face with the disgusting sight. The shit in my bowels did an early Thanksgiving Day parade straight into my underwear. FML
Today, I went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. There was a hot waiter who kept passing by. He saw me looking at him and I knew I had to say something. So when he approached my table I asked, "Excuse me, do you have any salt?" and he said, "I think it's right there on the table." FML
Today, I told my grandma my boyfriend had cheated on me. She told me that it was my fault for not straightening my hair, and for gaining a few pounds. FML
Today, I was trying to explain to my mom that I've been having panic attacks. I ended up having a panic attack from talking about having a panic attack. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's called aversive racism. One doesn't have to be a member of the KKK to be racist.

Lactose intolerance can come and go during your lifetime. My husband wasn't lactose intolerant until he was about 20.

Wow. I don't know that that's racist so much as incredibly stupid......but convincing himself that you're mixed, he does sound a little racist

My dad has developed lactose intolerance in the last year, they actually make a lactase pill you can take so you can eat something with dairy without worrying

I wasn't lactose intolerant until I was 17. People pretty much tell me to baby it and not have any dairy but I suffer through it because I like dairy too much haha

actually everyone is lactose intolerant to a degree. and since no one cares I'll just say cows eat grass and we cannot digest what's in grass.

Most adults of any race as lactose I tolerant while children aren't...I don't know why I just remember my doctor telling me.

this is interesting because I'm half black and half European (Spanish) and I don't know if I'm lactose intolerant but I certainly hate all dairy products. cheese, milk, yogurt all of it I cannot stand. literally the only thing I like is hot chocolate made with milk and while I don't get full on symptoms I know I usually do ahem have business to do within an hour or so of me drinking it. I wonder if I somehow am partly or as someone said "asymptomatic"?
