Today, I was wearing a letterman jacket that had my school name and "Okinawa Japan" on the back. A high school kid walks up to me and says, "I can't forgive you people for bombing Pearl Harbor." I'm black. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I wore my high school letterman jacket while I was out shopping. A man saw me and muttered to his wife about how sad it is some adults can't grow up and continue to wear their high school paraphernalia, constantly trying to relive their senior year. I am a senior. FML
Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML
Today, I went to my high school reunion. I was super excited to see what everyone had done in their lives. The nerdy guy I bullied is now a U.S. Marine and already has two deployments in Afghanistan under his belt. He looked at me in his dress blues and said, "I remember you." FML
Today, I became the town racist for saying "black" instead of "African-American". I'm black. FML
Today, it was my high school graduation. Because our school colors were red, black and white, and our principal looked somewhat like Hitler, the senior class prank was to salute him when he finished his speech. I was the only one. FML
Today, I argued with a boy from school over a girl. I didn't know he was a black belt judoka. I'm still in pain. FML
Today, I was at a party. Everyone was drunk, and I happened to overhear someone say, "Where's that guy in the black jacket? I'm going to beat his ass!" I wouldn't have thought anything of it, had I not been the only one wearing a black jacket. FML
Today, I got hit on. By a high school kid. Who looks exactly like Napoleon Dynamite. That was the only time anyone has ever hit on me. FML
Today, I went to a veterans' reunion party with my grandpa. While there, a guy started yelling at me for having an unapproved haircut. It was my grandpa's old drill sergeant, and he thought I was in the army too. Everyone just smirked as he forced me to drop and do push-ups. FML
Today, my great grandfather got arrested. Why? He is still shell shocked from World War II, so when we went to a hibachi grill, he didn't want any of those, "Damn Japs" to touch his food, and our chef didn't take too kindly to his verbal assault. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have said (if he was white) "I can't forgive you people for slavery."

You should have said, "Can't forgive people for stupidity and ignorance either."

Im impressed with the kid at least knowing that the Japanese were responsible for Pearl Harbor. He was stupid to say anything, but considering that history classes are being cut, it's a start.

On the other hand, the student is in high school and should have more to go on than just who started it.

If he was Mexican this would be the best fml ever.

OMG it's exactly like when young Jewish say 'we suffered so much' when you make jokes about the Shoah. No man YOU didn't suffer ! Your grand parents or great grand parents suffered hell and that is awful but you didn't suffer a thing so STFU already !!

Maybe it was a joke?

Woah, what's with all the thumbs downs? Not saying I'd agree with making a joke like that even if it was mean as that, just a suggestion.

At least he spoke his mind politely.
