I was waiting in line in a Dollar General store, grab some batteries. The store is next to a Trailer park for "Winter Texans", a lady grabbing 50% halloween candy by the dozen, she spill some boxes in front of the line. She bend over displaying her butt crack(it was funny)but these old white couple to my surprise said "My god, you can see her A**Hole, so typical of these women in here." I was shocked for them to say it in a normal tone, I guess they were thinking that everyone spoke only spanish, I gasped a lady behind me let out a sigh; The couple quickly shutup. Here in south texas we get alot of racist Winter Texan pigs from all over the USA, I guess these are some of leftover racists from the 50's and 60's. What makes me angry is that I didnt say anything in that moment. So the real question is will you guys do something if the opportunity comes? I know I wished I reacted properly, and said something bout it.

You have a delusional outlook of racism. In your story I have not heard one racist word or remark. It sickens me that illiterate people will apply the word racism to anything that offends them. What about the "old white couple" whom you refered to as being racist. Are that not allowed to be offended by some ignorant fool who can not dress properly and bends over to show their " butt crack " as you discribed? Is it offensive that the " old white couple " had to see their " A**Hole" ?
And is it not offensive in the same likeness to refer to them as "old white couple" or did you use the term " white" out of training that only white people can be racist?
Why are you shocked that the "old white Couple" were shocked to see some fat pigs butt crack ? You should have been more offended at the pig that knows all to well that they are exposing themselve', and they should have enough upbringing to dress themselves in such a fasion that when they bend over they should not show their butt crack!
I think your feeble mind was simply looking for a reason to accuse another white person as being racist. And tell me! Where's the hate that you speak of? Unless you consider it hate because a "white couple " had the nerve to be offended about someone non-white showing their ugly filthy butt crack in public!
Wanna see some real hate? read the links below and you will be shocked at the real hatred in the world that is covered up on a daily basis and not reported. This is not like the simple attempt to describe hate or rasim as you have , this is real hatred and racism.

I went to orientation for a job once. And afterwards the owner and one of the guys in orientation got into an arguement. The owner ends up calling him a *****r. I was way offended cause I'm thinking I guess that what he thinks about black people. Even some other white people putting in applications left. Cause they knew that wasn't right. Nobody who worked in the office said even batted an eye. I guess they were used to him saying sh*t like that. I ended up walking out. And the owner comes after me and seems really shocked that I dont want to work there anymore. I was trying to explain to him why what he did was fu*ked but I guess he just didnt get it. You should always make it known to people when they are displaying that kind of behavior. Whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong. If you dont call them out about, who will? I really needed that job, but I know somebody would of ended up with their *** in a sling.

That reminds me of a time in Wal-mart. We were behind a lady with her kid in the cart (a couple of years old) and a vietnamese couple. The couple said something to one another, and I could overhear the woman say "What an ugly language..." in a rather derogatory tone of voice....jeez...not a great influence for that kid. I didn't say anything, with my brother, but yeah...that really bothered me.

Sometimes things are said that temporarily shock us into silence, this has happened to me. I usually like to say something to the person who was the target of the hateful remark to comfort them. Don't worry about it...someday they really will pay for their ignorance. ;)

The very best thing you could have done is exactly what you did.
Say Nothing.
