True story, I went to a store, I will not name the store because i dont want to be sued. I wanted to return a present. I was the first in line. I went to talk to the lady at the register. She looked at me and said she was handling something and told me to wait. I waited five minutes then another customer came. He was Hispanic. He walked right in front of me and starting talking to the white women at the register. I let that go, i figured she knew him and after he was done she would see me. Now three second later the gentlemans friends came, 3 other hispanic men. SHe rang them all up and sent them on thier way. Now i was irritated but still understood maybe they were friends...so i waited. 10 minutes went buy and she didnt even talk to me. I requested to talk to a manager. The women rolled her eyes and called the manager. They manager was asian and said why are you white ppl so impatient.

The story gets better as fate would have it i went to wallmart on the way there i saw a car on the side of the highway...I pulled over to help as the car had it hazards on...I pulled over and it was the same white women. So I looked at the car it had stalled because the battery leads were lose on the battery. I got out she recognized me...she had three kidz in the car it was cold and raining. Out of compassion for the kids i tried to help i first gave her my phone and let her call whoever...she left a message then i looked at the car, as i was looking at the car she said "come on whiteboy are you gonna fix it or not" as soon as she said this i got back in my car and left her there abandon with her kids. Now i was happy to do it i turn both cheeks i got home and told my brother the story my mom over heard it and yelled and screamed that i was so insensitive lol i treat ppl how they treat me i owe no one anything i left and felt good about. I did call the police 20 minute afterward

I think this is a terrible story. I have never seen anything like this. Is it possible that it was just two coincidences?
By the way, don't let this stop you from trying to do nice things, like being patient and helping people out.

You definitely shouldn't have stopped at the manager. Emailing district managers, divisional manager, Vice Presidents and Presidents of companies is quite an easy thing to do nowaway.
Have a real F**king FIT loudly in front of the Asian manager would have gotten some response also.
Recently I've had TWO miserable nasty women fired from their jobs for treating me badly. I'm a pro at it now, and threaten the managers too, when they are obviously wrong. One of the ladies was a manager, by the way, and made a comment to the clerk in a forenign language about me. She's long gone from that job.
However, more to the point of your question. We are in a period of male bashing. On the individual level there is little we can do except exert ALL of our human rights and take the time to do it. Women seem (as proven by questions I've asked before here) to care not at all that the bashing they are doing now will be affecting their sons in the future. Not all women are like this, but judging by the responses men get to ANY questions critical to any female in Q&A the problem is rampant.
Women basically have lost the respect they once had, and it has been replaced with the power to say and do as they please. Long after I'm dead, I think you will see a generation of very sorry, lonely, bitter old ladies; hated by society and even by their own children and grandchildren.
Someday the pendelum will swing more to the center again, but by that time this generation of horrible insensitive women who have been coddled into thinking they can do no wrong, will be unsalvagable, unfortunately.
CERTAINLY not all women are like this; perhaps not even the majority, but the very sad fact is that the majority of women choose to stand up for the rest....simply because they are fellow women. One woman put it best, when asked a similar question as to why woman act so badly....her answer "because we can".
they can bash this all they want, but most intelligent people know there's a lot of truth in what I say.....and a lot of shame in what you experienced.

You did what you thought was right. Hey, at least you attempted to stop and help. But if someone was that rude to me, I would have walked off and left her stranded there too. At least you called the police 20 mins later. She got what she deserved.
As far as someone saying you will get what you put out for leaving those kids on the side of the road, honestly they didn't read your whole post. Who would want to help someone when they were being that rude to someone?
I am a young white female (21) but I don't treat men like that. Of course, I will be rude to them if they are rude to me. But in general, I love all white men :)

Can I ask what nationality the store assistant was? you mentioned that the owner was asian, this is interesting - I have had two similar experiences "recently" and I am a woman - from UK - emigrated to Australia - I look slightly European, 5th generation spanish. I dont treat modern white men with contempt, and I dont know anybody who does? If a man is dis-respectful and doesnt know his boundaries - then he will be treated with the contempt he deserves, but in general I dont have a problem at all with modern white men - because they have respect!!! Correct? Im really interested to know the nationality. perhaps you can message me your email address (privacy).

Tell it to Jesus. Ask Him to forgive them. Even if someone treats you badly, don't let it get to you. Your race DOES NOT define who you are. YOU define who you are. For that Asian to use the term "White people," he sure is a racist. We are all people, all the same. Race does not matter. There are just some people who are stupid idiots and have a desire to make you upset. And why would you get sued for naming the store? He probably doesn't even know about this site. Next time, just go to a different store if you can.

I think you were unlucky on this day.
My experience is that I am often served moe attentively than others solely, I suspect, because I am a white man who sometimes wears a suit, and therefore seems more important.
Don't let stuff like this make you bitter or cynnical.

They're probably tired of being treated that same way by white people who think they're better than everyone. And why DIDN'T you fix that easy problem with the car? I've done that on my own car, it isn't that hard.

maybe it was her attempt at humor? if not, i dont blame you for sticking up for yourself. but i have to say, maybe it is not minorities and women. maybe you just live in a crappy section of town. maybe the people around you are angry.
also, maybe even though you mean well, your face looks angry or you are not talking to people in a respectful manner. so people might react to that. if you are an angry person, your angry face will stick. so even if you are angry in your private moments, as you are now, your face will stick that way unknown to you and when you talk to people they will see the anger that you dont intend to convey and they will behave insultingly to you.
you might also have a rude tone of voice. have you ever tape recorded your voice to hear if it sounds rude?
ADD ON: try smiling more. dont fight like that guy below. what a waste of time and energy. do you really want to be this angry in life?

Because we have learned enough modernity to show due love and recpect to women and the minorities. We are more privileged in getting the advanced education, let us practice to show good examples to them.

Whoa, have some racism issues?
Perhaps you weren't as sweet as you thought you were initially and simply received the treatment you deserved.
Karmic retribution. You'll get yours for leaving that woman and her children on the side of the road.
