Having lived a year in Boca Raton, Flori-duh and working at my current job I have come across many racist people. Here are a few comments. Please educate yourself...

Classic rule of thumb, just talk to everyone as if they are white.

Latest Racist Moment:

Ignorant: nihow
Me:...hahahahahahaha

Ignorant: nihow
Me: I don't speak mother f@#$ing nihow. Stupid ass.

Me: Let me have one of your flyers.
Ignorant: No. I was just saying hi.
Me: You're not gonna give me a flyer?
Ignorant: No, it's for older people. You look 18. 
Me: I'm 29. Give me a flyer.
Ignorant: No. You look 18. It's for seniors.
Me: Give it to me so I can give it to my grandma. 
Ignorant: No. I know what you're going to do....English or Spanish (it has both on all papers)?
Me: (Smiling) Either one.

Racist Moments with coworkers and customers who have obviously never stepped outside of their bubbles:

"If you like Japanese DJs..." 
Only at his job am I defined solely by my ethnicity.

"Ever heard of the Japanese name of blah blah...It's my wife's maiden name." 
Just because you've met an Asian once doesn't mean, I need to hear about it.

"Do you celebrate Thanksgiving? Because my cousin's girlfriend who is half Vietnamese doesn't."

"We're eating pork. Oh, you don't get it cuz you're not Mexican. It's something you don't pass up. It's like if I offered you sushi."

"An Asian girl won't date you because you're Mexican."

"Where are you from? Where are you really from? Where are your parents from? Where are your grandparents from?"

"Where are you from? You know what I mean!!!!!"

"Nihow"

"Oh, you're Japanese?! (Insert a Japanese word)"

"Are you Thai? Oh, you're Japanese? Close enough!"

"I'm not racist, my wife is Asian!!!"

"Do you know (Insert Asian's name)?"

"Are you Filipina? Your name looks Filipina."

"So you're Filipino. Have you heard of the Church of Latter Day Saints?"

"So are you Sonsei or Niesi?"

"Happy New Year!" 
(Chinese New Year which I just happened to remember.)

"So what are you? Like Asian? But you have big eyes! So you're Japanese and Asian?"

White guy: (comes up speaking Japanese)
Me: I speak English.
White guy: But your parents are from Japan?
Me: My parents are from LA.
White guy: Guess where I'm from!!!!
Me: I don't know...
White guy: Shanghai!
Me: Ok.

"Do you know how to pronounce your name?"

The Ultimate Racist Moment at work:

I hit my limit on racist, ignorant comments tonight. I was literally shaking with anger and wanted to tell his bigot ass off.

"Meagan isn't your birth name. No way. Of course Asians can have different names but there is no way that is your birth name. There is no way your mom named you that. Thats not your birth name. Some day you will have to come up with a name too. Like your mom. Don't get me wrong Meagan is a nice name but it's not your birth name. You gotta be stronger than that. You can't be hurt by this."

Me: Wow...I'm not hurt, I'm insulted. I don't go up to white people asking what their REAL name is. Just stop. 
I haven't heard Meagan isn't my real name since my English professor said it to me at Cal State LA.

Flori-duh Racist Moments:

At my high school in Flori-duh, there were about 5 Asians in the entire school. Everyone would always ask "Do you like King Kong?" "Do you know Karate?" One day a group of people were bugging me to admit that I am Chinese. (I'm not Chinese, I'm Japanese) A half Chinese girl told me "I'm half Chinese, it's ok to admit it." I'm not ashamed of being Japanese. I just didn't want to admit being Chinese because I'M NOT! 

In another classroom, a girl asked the difference between all the Asians were. (I will give her five points for even knowing there are different kinds of Asians). The teacher replied, "I don't know, ask Meagan."

Racist Moments at California State University of Los Angeles with my professor:

I was at a student-teacher conference with my English professor and he asked me "How did you come up with your name?" My parents?! To which he replied, "Oh, most of you usually change your name when you come here." 

Racist moment with Frank:

As I was walking into school today, I saw the same man that asked me yesterday if I was a US Citizen. A white girl was passing by and he just asked her if she wanted to participate in the petition. Because as I said yesterday, all Asians and Hispanics must be foreigners and all whites are of course U.S. citizens! 

After class, I went up to him and asked what the petition was all about and who sponsored it. Then I mentioned that I walked by the day before and he asked if I was a U.S. Citizen and I was VERY Offended! So I asked him if he was trained to ask Asians and Hispanics if they're U.S. Citizens. He said yes, because "Whites are more likely to be U.S. Citizens"!!!!!!!!! Cuz you know who can even contemplate the possiblities of Asians and Hispanics actually being U.S. citizens. I told him that he could've asked if we want to participate in the survey and then make sure we're citizens and over the age of 18! He said he was sorry. I said Whatever and walked away...

Laurie wasn't there yet, so I decided to go back for more! I asked him if he had any flyers with the name of the group he was with. He said no. I told him to bring some tomorrow. He said that this was with the Republican party and he was with a U.S. Petition Group. He then proceeded to give me the number of his coordinator, Frank Rxxxxxx (909) xxx - xxxx, while SHAKING! Yes, the Little Asian Girl Scared the Shit out of someone Twice her size! =)

So I just called this Frank Rxxxx ASSHOLE! I told him that I was very offended. Then he proceeded to say that they ask that of all the people. I said NO! He told me to be quiet and listen to him! He then proceeded to tell me what was required of the people that signed the petition, which I was already aware of. He then asked how old I was. I said 20. He proceeded to tell me that he's 45 and was doing this since I was in diapers and basically implied my Stupid Asian Woman self should SHUT THE FUCK UP cuz I don't know shit! I told him he was an ASSHOLE and Hung Up!
