Casual…

By bnc - 14/12/2013 22:39 - United States - Jefferson City

Today, a kid from my school called me, saying he's going on vacation to Japan soon and that since I was born there, I could teach him the language. His exact words at the start of the call were, "Hey man, you speak Asian, right?" I have to be around this shithead 5 days a week. FML

just teach him all the wrong words, so instead of "where is this place" he says "I am a ********"

Because this is so much worse than the racial slurs of the 1950s

Tell him your Asian is as fluent as his American. :) Then teach him "helpful" vocab! Like "**** me" and "I am incompetent!"

Speak Asians???? I guess first lesson will be Geographic

Japan is a part of Asia. He needs to learn the difference between languages and countries.

43 - don't you mean the difference between languages and continents?

There is no language named "Asians" Asisa it is a Cont. that has many countries in which in Each country they have many langauges sich as Mandrain, Persian, Pushto , Russian.. Japanese, Thi, Malay even Arabic since part of the middle east is a part of Asia.. so first lesson Asia is not a country to have its own languge it is a conti. that has many countries.

Just say that you are not free all the time and you can't.

Or, say "**** you, figure it out yourself ********." Why does OP need excuses, he can just say "no."

Your first question should be "How did you get my number?"

Why do you HAVE to be around him? You could have said no. That said, what an idiot. I hope you teach him all the wrong stuff.

Wild guess, but he has to be around him because they go to the same school..?

I never would have known, #21. That was sarcasm, for all you people out there.

Sarcasm doesn't transfer well in text. Don't blame the reader if you aren't good enough with it to pull it off in text.

I'm sorry you have to deal with ignorance. Just take it as a way to helo them out, try to turn the negative into a positive

Why would you take time our of your life to help someone that's that ignorant and rude? OP has no obligation to help him, so I don't really know why he would need to "turn the negative into a positive"

68- so you wouldnt want to correct someone when theyre wrong and help them? hes not rude, just badly and horrible misinformed, and yes, ignorant.

You can help him learn why what he said was offensive give him some cultural context. This would also help him be less of a ******** and be a more pleasant person to exist around. And then apologize that aside from maybe a phrase or two it would take far too long to teach him any meaningful amount of a foreign language. Especially one with such a different alphabet/grammar structure.

I feel your pain, I'm deaf and everyone asks me how do you say **** You in sign language. Sorry pal.

Considering your profile picture, I'm not sure you do.

That's odd; I've always considered the middle finger to be "**** you" in sign language. Why did these people even bother asking?

I'd would of answered nope and I don't speak idiot either!

Apparently you do, since "would of" is incorrect. I believe what you are looking for was "Would HAVE" or "would've."

I'd would have... Hmm makes a lot more sense, thanks.

Oh_bother44 11

I hadn't caught the "I'd," though that doesn't make sense in either case, you're right. I just pointed out the "would have" because that's the one thing I can't stand. I can deal with typos, spelling errors, misplaced punctuation, etc. It just drives me nuts when people say "would of"/ "could of" /"should of."

"I would would of." ... Yup. Totally correct...

Whenever my friends ask me how to say something in my language, I just teach them something completely irrelevant or embarrassing.

Don't waste your breath op with his level of intelligence I don't think he'll remember anything you'll teach him anyways
