So we went to a bar to get some drinks and you know I was not going to turn that down.
It was a bar that she frequents every so often to be deemed a regular, which is dandy with me, I was thinking "free shots!"
We immediately sit and order some drinks. Not even a few minutes pass that we were we sitting this old man comes up, looks me in the eye and asks "Are you Asian?"
The audacity of some people!!!!!!
How the fuck are you just going to go up to a stranger and ask them their race?
I felt like kicking his face in. I nicely replied "No I am not actually."
Tell me why this son of a bitch looked like someone kicked a puppy in front of him when I told him no.
Was I sure that I wasn't from Thailand? Umm yes, I am positive. I am from Arizona, and that is in the United States if you did not know that tidbit of info. *Wink
He gave us a 5 minute history lesson and REALLY wanted to know where my "Asian-ness" came from.
He reminded me of those creepy professionals that go to a foreign land to make whoopie with young girls. Disgusting. I might have saw him on a special for NBC for this kind of behavior.
I don't even look Asian, what the fuck is wrong with people?
Why did he ask if I was sure? I'd like to think so sir.
Look people it is wrong to insinuate someone's race/gender/ethnicity. Why do these people want to know anyway? I don't see anyone going up to a male and asking them if they are a woman.
After he left my friend looks at me and says "Did he really just come over here and ask you if you were Asian? Who does that? Isn't that a little racist?"
What the fuck is that about? Really people?
Oh.my.god. Why does it even matter if I was Asian? Would that somehow make the world better?
Since I get that comment A LOT I decided to do some googling for Mexicans that look Asian.
Let me just say that people really need to get hobbies. It is not a serious problem. We are all minorities so what does it matter?
Ok, ok..so I got great skin, but still.
I pulled this up from a travel site that Google landed me on and thought what the hell?
Why don't you know how to type out a question correctly Denise? Punctuation does not have a home in your brain.
This demanded a reply from me.
Dear Denise,
My name is Rox and I am Hispanic. I have been in the United States all my life. There are multitudes of folk here in the U.S. rich, poor, funny, ghetto, white and the list goes on. The majority are white but us Mexicans are moving in like a brushfire from the south. Do whites come from the north then? I always see Mexicans that look Mexican but have black features e.g. big bootays, curly hair. There are even some whites that look Mexican, probably from tanning so much. Let me ask you something Denise, did your parent's raise you to ask so many stupid questions? Or was that something contrived on your own? This is a serious question. No offense or anything.
Lovingly Rox
When I say no offense but am offensive does that even count?
Lastly my followers I leave you with this piece of information:
I am not Asian. Not even a little bit. I have said it before and I will say it again because I am 99.9% sure that I will get that again soon.

I think at some point in prehistoric history people in Asia moved over the land bridge to North and South America-- they were the original Native Americans-- but it doesn't give anyone an excuse to grill you about your ethnicity.
ReplyDeleteBlame it on the Asian fetish most loser men have.
eww, it was totally due to an asian fetish of that creeepy guy!
ReplyDeleteI get the Asian thing alot too!
ReplyDeleteRandom person: "Are you Filipino?"
Me: "No, I'm Mexican"
Random: "really? Because you look exactly like my Filipino friend"
Me: "Umm... I'm pretty sure I know my ethnicity better than you do. kthnxbi"
