tonight a couple of friends and i went to visit a mutual friend at work. anyhow the conversation went a little like this. quite short.
me: can we get sitted ? (jokingly) him: no you're a minority me : are you kidding.. then they talked to him for a little bit.. i was just like sitting there in the blank. then we were all going to leave and i'm like straight for the door and was already out the second and they hadn't left yet and the mutual friend just had to keep talking in there so i just kind of held the door open.. anyhow the point is.. should i be offended that he said that ? i mean.. i don't think it's necessary to keep reminding me that i'm a minority. last time i saw him he said something like "go back to you're country" |

^I was originally going to say that, but if you do find it offending then speak up and say something. He should understand and quit.

He should understand and quit. exactly. i'm sure they meant no harm. but if you're sensitive on the subject ask them to lay off if they keep at it. it's no problem that you feel this way, some people just don't take that kind of matter "go back to your country" as a joke. or the whole minority thing, too. |

Yupp, I was gonna say that also. Next time you see them again, If they say the whole "go back to your country" thing or bring up the subject of "minority", then tell them that it's not funny and you find it offending. I'm sure they'll stop. |
