Hmph. Kk, soo today the weirdest but very irritating thing happened.

I was at my uni (which is attached to a mall) so I was with Larry and another friend (both are Asian and I'm half) and we're walking through the food court. Some little old lady was walking next to us and muttering to herself, and we just tried to ignore it but then we heard what she was saying.
"*mumble mumble* scram...damn Asians...*mumble*" so we turned and said, "Excuse me?" And she goes off on us!
"Damn asians, coming here from bloody China ... *mumble* stay where you came from, coming to our damn country ... *mumble*..Philippines too! *mumble*"
It goes on. Larry responds, "Um, you're being really rude ma'am."
And she just keeps going off so Larry told her to shut her mouth and eff off, haha but she had walked off.

Seriously, I refuse to respect someone if they don't respect me, elderly or not. WTF.

Just my story of the day. Soo, yeah. Have you ever had any thing like that happen to you?

wow. thats reminds me of this time when i was working at jcpenney. and i was a cashier at the moment. and these old ladies were walking around and they seemed so lost, so i asked if they need any help and they just went off on me. "i don't need your help, blah blah blah, mind your business blah blah blah"

so i said with a face [of course], "i'm sorry, i was only trying to help." and they were soo bitter and like, "god, she's so nosey and stubborn blah blah" and the other lady goes, "its because she's chinese."
i don't think i've ever felt so outraged in my life. and then the other lady adds, "yeah, the chinese are always trying to take control of everything, blah blah, they think they know everything.." and then the other lady goes, "i don't want your help!" screaming, like they're crazy. and i just have my 'what-the-fxk' face on. so i just said, "well, i'm sorry that i'm not bitter and ignorant like you three to offer help." and i just walked off. and i can hear them yelling, complaining, and feeling 'appalled' in the background.

i refuse to treat ANYONE with respect if they don't treat me with respect. ANYONE at all. you could be a police officer or even the president of the united states, i could care less. and this was the first time anything like that has ever happened to me, i've heard racial comments behind my back about asians, but never directly at me. people don't understand that asians worked their asses off to survive here and we're just trying to make a living. plus, its hard enough without all these racists putting us down.

i hate how people are so prejudiced. especially when you're just trying to offer help. i was so pissed off that day. even my manager thought something was wrong because i'm a very chipper person and i normally never frown in public. so its like what the hell. whats wrong with elders these days?
