THIS. in fucking furiating! My MIL is 4'8" sweetest lady you'll ever meet. Kind, friendly, but her English is heavily accented. She is scared to go out in public alone now. She's been accosted and made to feel uncomfortable in a country she's been a citizen of for over 50 years!
My wife (Chinese decent born in the Florida) and I (basic white boy) are used to causal racism, and it always sucks. In the US, it had mostly become a non-issue / pretty rare. But During/After Covid it felt like we got drug back 30yrs with more people being overtly assholish and racist. Especially to her and especially when I wasn't around. Fucking cowards. Oh and not just the white folks either.
My son had kids at school tell him to go back to his own country. I told him that he should ask if they are American Indian, and if not, tell them to get fucked! His family has been here since Jamestown.
The other fun little thing these assholes do is equate ethnicity to some imagined magical bond to a far away country and political scheme. Mother fucker, my MIL flew halfway across the planet alone as a 13yr old to ESCAPE communism! JFC I guarantee they hate the Chinese government more completely than any ignorant Fox yokel. They lost everything and worked their asses to be free and live the American dream. Unlike the Cosplaytriots who just happened to be born here.
Fuck them all! Sorry for the rant, FUCK!
