Today, I was at a mall. A woman stopped by me, said slowly and loudly, in Spanish "baño?" Knowing a bit of Spanish, I nodded and pointed the restrooms out for her. She then mutters about "dang Mexicans and their inability to speak English". I'm not even Latina. I'm Irish-American. FML

Ugh... FHL, not yours. You should have said, "dang ignorant people and how they constantly put their foot in their mouths". Stupid bitch. It would have taken a lot of self control for me to not have flipped out on her had I been in that situation. I would have loved to see her face. :-O

dang people with their racial assumptions about skin color but whatever haha

Why is it that people assume ALL Hispanics to be MEXICAN? I go to school with people from all over. When my freshman year began, all the Hispanics sat together. We were then told that we were all Mexican. I am Puerto Rican. There were people in that group that were from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala to name a few. We were quickly given this title due to ignorance. OPEN YOUR EYES. Mexicans aren't the only ones! That lady is an ignorant bitch! I would've told her off!

That's funny, considering Hispanic/Latina isn't even a race, just a cultural identity. So mocking you in Spanish because you look "Mexican" is pretty stupid to begin with. FHL.

i hope this isn't an fml because you're upset you were mistaken for a mexican. it's definitely fyl if you didn't have time to retort at her. ******* bitch. i'm irish american also and worked with all hispanic coworkers (none of whom were mexican actually, not the point) and people would spew that "damn mexicans" bullshit at me all the time assuming i would agree with them, i guess cause i'm white? i never got impatient with any other customers but i always told those people off
