Today, my boss of six months asked me what country I'm from. I'm white and from the southern United States. I'm so quiet, he didn't think I spoke English. FML

Even if you are extremely shy/quiet, your boss should know what language you speak by now... It's not your fault they've paid absolutely no attention!

Just keep going with it and act like you don't speak English to get out of messy situations

You need to speak up and get yourself heard if you want to make a good career for yourself.

What's the fact that you're white have to do with anything? There are whiter people that don't speak English

Op here. I was just trying to say that there are no obvious signs that I'm not from Georgia/from another country, where most people speak English.

The fml says it was published in California, United States

OP, at the end of your fml above, it states your username and then supposedly your location, which in this instance states California, not Atlanta, Georgia as per your profile. Perhaps FML is going by the IP address of your internet service provider?

What has being white got to do with it. Belgians are white. Dutch people are white and they don't speak English. Well not all of them

If you're white and from an American state, you most likely speak English.

You should walk in on a Monday with an orange hue from a poor spray tan, then the next Monday with a yellow hue. New Monday new hue keep him guessing.
