Today, my girlfriend of six weeks dumped me when she learned that Macedonia, where I was born, is in Europe. Apparently, she thought that I was "Asian" and she doesn't want to date a "white guy." Yeah, I'm totally confused too. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the girl I've been dating dumped me after she found out I'm originally from Alabama. Apparently she doesn't want to date someone from a "foreign country". We both live in Michigan. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend's parents offered her a trip to Europe if she dumped me. She accepted, and broke up with me. Her parents were lying. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me. Her exact words used were "I like the idea of you, but I don't like you." I still don't know what that means. FML
Today, I was dumped by my girlfriend due to our long distance relationship. She then agreed to date my best friend who lives in the same town as me. FML
Today, my girlfriend of six months dumped me over the phone. I'm in the military and recently had to move away to another fort. We'd agreed that we would try to make long distance work. I'd even offered to buy a plane ticket to come see her each weekend. I've been gone less than two weeks. FML
Today, I learned that the guy I was dating got with me under the impression that I was Asian. I have Asian features but I’m from Kazakhstan, which is a former Soviet country part of Asia. When I told him I spoke Russian, he called me a “communist Putin puppet” and to “stop making up fake countries.” FML
Today, my girlfriend of 5 years dumped me because she got tired of me being thinner than her and, in her own words, making her look bad. FML
Today, I flew cross-country to see my girlfriend of three years. Once I got there, she broke up with me. I was supposed to be staying for a month and now I have nowhere to go. FML
Today, my girlfriend moved to Germany for her Master's degree and perhaps a PhD. I'm still stuck in this third world mess which we call India. I simped for her and agreed that she can have non-serious relationships with other men. I'm so broken. FML
Today, my girlfriend of almost a year, and to whom I intended to propose on Thanksgiving, dumped me because her husband will be returning from Iraq soon. And he wants to have a "talk" with me. I didn't know she was married. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't know what it is with people and racism.

Obviously she wants to date and procreate with someone who's Asian because her intelligence is so incredibly lacking. That's the only thing I can come up with.

I think racism stems from the fear of the unknown. Most racists are undereducated and feel threatened in some shape or form.
Ian7890 23
I think most people just don't really want to date a different race than them because they don't find them attractive, it's not really racist.

Uh.. if she was dating him before, when she thought he was Asian, and she didn't have a problem with his looks then, she shouldn't all of a sudden not be attracted to him because he's white..
xlord 27
So why was OP's ex 'attracted' to OP for 6 entire weeks before she learned his race? Not been attracted to someone is completely normal but its like being attracted to a white person but dumping him/her because you don't want to date an African (if they're from South Africa).

Hey, at least you're not "too cute" to be a certain background. On the other hand, good riddance.

Personally for me it's more of a fear of losing my culture not a fear of the other race.
Xquisite1 28
Hey Mr.Too Cute to be Hatian. Lol....hope you found a girl with better sense.

He is, however, too European to be Asian.

Hey! You're from the other FML! Good to see you're still on.

I don't think this was racism. She most likely was just looking for a reason to break up with OP.

I guess she found the idea of being with someone of a different race exotic and exciting. Very stupid and very shallow of her.
aimzskee 30
She must be a certain kind of special.

Yes, but would this "smart asian guy" want such dimwitted offspring?
graceinsheepwear 34
But 2, isn't your characterization of all Asians as smart also racism, albeit with a favorable trait rather than an unfavorable one?
LiterOfCola 16
That was clearly the joke
AngrySailor 17
"Go to your room! Don't come out tirr you Doctor!"

21 It was a joke using the stereotype that all Asians are smart and pointing out OP's ex girlfriend's obvious lack of intelligence. It wasn't meant as a racist remark.
ise3 10
It still comes off as racist. It's like saying black people are poor and then trying to pass it off as a joke. Unless you're making fun of the stereotype itself, which I don't really see that you are
Goldenberry_fml 14
.. It's not like being stereotyped as a smart person is a bad thing
cristy91 33
To #54, #2 isn't the one being racist, she's simply saying that OP's ex may have used that stereotype as a reason for breaking up. It's a common misconception about Asians so it wouldn't be out of this world to imagine OP's ex as believing. Plus, knowing a stereotype exists is much different than believing one.

65- point taken. Being aware vs believing 64- positive stereotypes can be demeaning and discouraging as well. The asians who are smart are smart because they are smart. Not because they are asian. Let's give a little credit to their natural ability are work ethic rather than dismissing it as a characteristic of their race as so many people do. Then there are asians who aren't as smart as they are "supposed to be" according to "asian" standards. Then they get called dumb when by other standards they are actually quite intelligent. Positive stereotype, negative stereotype, stereotyping isn't ever really good.
RedPillSucks 33
Then there are asians who are not smart a all and are made fun of simply because of that. Or asians who go the "non-traditional" route and are made fun of. Like asian rappers or asian basketball players.
horneyhic 15
54 it's more like saying black ppl are good at basketball it's a positive racial stereotype
olpally 33
Good god... Dodged a bullet there op... Jesus. :/
Damian95 16
Seriously. How can you break up with someone after dating them that long over a completely irrelevant fact about them?
mn_shr 22
What dumb ass girl were you dating OP?
Baytheshark 14
Some people. On the brightside, you can go to Macedonia anytime you want...
laden_swallow09 35
How is that even relevant?
jerryj 27
...as opposed to Asia?
MzZombicidal 36
I'm sorry your ex was such a bitch, OP. Either she's a gigantic idiot or she was looking for an excuse to break up with you. Either way, now you don't have to waste anymore time on her.
kriz_allizwell 6
But it actually turned her into a hipster.
theofficialkumar 6
She is obviously ignorant! It shouldn't matter where your from!
teotsi 28
You're*
revolution4ever 14
Sounds like a lame ass excuse to end it with you, or she's really just not the brightest one out there. Maybe it's both...
angelitared 27
She's so not worth your time!!

Idiot much?
