racism....?

Question

today i was in berkeley, california; near the university, when i experienced some major racism!! my sister and i were standing outside when an asian guy told his teenage daughter "be careful, theres a lot of black people around here"...i was like what the hell!! well, im used 2 stuff like that, but it sucks when its coming from another minority....someone who knows what im going through(i guess) because they 2 are people of color....not only that, but about 5 minutes earlier, someone who worked at a store kept following me because they thought i was gonna steal.....ok....im black, yes, but not a theif...and finally the las incident of the day...my mom and i went into subway and the guy who was fixing my sandwhich was and italian man, who made me the sloppiest *** sandwhich ever!! he threw my bread all over the counter, the bread was so beat up after that, and he only gave me like 4 pieces of salami....and he threw my food 2 me....well, what im trying 2 say is

why cant people just treat eachother equally?

Answer 1

Because we aren't all equal. Equality is an idea. there will always be people who are prettier, smarter, richer, and they will be treated as such. Sorry you had to go through that. Doesn't it just piss you off when another minority tries to get all racist? One thing I have noticed, Asians think they are superior to whites who think they are superior to Mexicans who think they are superior to blacks.....I have no idea why. it's so funny to me, there are more black people in jail, not necessarily because we commit more crimes, but because we are targeted more for arrests. There are more white people on welfare but we are sitting on our asses milking the system. But it is what it is, I don't pay it any mind, I love it when people follow me in the store. I walk out of that store, buy what I was thinking about buying in there in another store and walk out to my BMW and drive off. **** em girl!!!!!!!!1

Answer 2

Did it ever occur to you that the Asian guy must have experienced racism at one time in his life or was probably a victim of a crime?Don't let the stupidity of these people bring you down to your level. Hold your head up and set the example of what it should be like not to be a minority but a human being.

Oh and that jerk at Subway. Call their corporate office and see how fast they fix his wagon about messing other peoples food.

Answer 3

I agree, a few years ago I went to Michigan with my husband at the time (He's black and I an white). We went down town to get something to eat and there was this lady, (she was homeless) I had just walked out of a restaurant and she wouldn't approach me. She was trying to ask me for some money and she was afraid to get very close. But the minute my husband came out she was fine. I thought it was really strange. Then we went to this copy store with his sister and this white lady in the store, wouldn't even talk to them. But had no problem with me. Heaven forbid we would find out how to use the copy machine. I do believe things are getting better slowly, but I don't think that everyone will always agree. It's really sad isn't it.

Answer 4

let me tell you in some other countries, this isnt a problem. everybody treats each other equally. you know where that is, ? mostly asian countries. the asian moron you were talking abt. was probably a victim of some crime commited by a black person, and so the label or trauma. if it were a white guy who victimized asian moron, it could have been the same story. by the way, i'm asian.

Answer 5

ha i am laughing because of their ignorance, i would have not been able to control myself i would have said to the asian man "if you have a problem with too many black people being around then why the **** did you come to our country, yes our country your *** was not born here you paid alot of money to be around us black people, you chicken fried rice eating mother f****r, nobody is not going to do anything to little Sue Chang" and to the person that was following me around i would have said " you are following me around because? get your a_s_s away from me" and to the man that made my sandwich i would have thrown back at him and told him "listen you sandwich maker you fix something like this for your mom not for a black american princess or queen" (whichever you prefer) and i would have pushed a chair on the floor.

I know that being ignorant will only feed into there belief about us, but i can not help it, especially when you know that you are good person at any rate i hope that you dont get to upset about what happened to you and dont worry about they are stupid look at them a ******* retail worker a sandwich maker and a foreigner they are not s**t because they are ignorant and GOD does not like that so just continue to be black, proud, and beautiful.

Answer 6

There are a lot of idiots in this world and I am very sorry that you have to be on the recieving end of their ignorant hate. There seems to be no end in sight for the existence of these people. I can only recommend that you learn to completely ignore them. They're not going to be going away any time soon.

Answer 7

This f--ng world is sick, racism prevents our world from progressing, I'm with you, girl!!

Anyway, I can swear that white people envy blacks because your skin tone is always smooth and spotless even being all the time under the sun and don't turn red when embarassed (biiig advantage)... I'm a latin/white girl and I can't get out of my house without sunblock because I'll end up looking like a shrimp... damn you!!! ¬¬

Back to the topic, I personally think racism is exclusive for frustrated inferior people that desperately need someone to step on in order not to feel how miserable they really are... don't be upset and feel sorry for these losers instead. If you think about it, you made someone's day, that's charity without giving a single penny ;)

Answer 8

some people are just ignorant, I too am a different race and to have other races called each other names, is a shame, we are all human and we all bleed when we get cut. Perception is not good just because someone is from certain groups that its right to discriminate them it is wrong there is good and bad in all backgrounds.

Answer 9

Did u no that there are so many mixed cultural relationships it is sed that we will all be the same race by 2020??? Yeh so dont listen to them racist haters coz there grankids r gunna be the same race!

Answer 10

cuz people are stupid. my brother has this problem all the time when he comes to visit. people where i live are generally rasists and i think that they are all retarded. there is no reason to treat someone differently just because they look different. we all have the same organs and we all bleed the same blood so whats the big deal?
