Today, while at the Golden Gate Bridge, I spotted a large group of Asians trying to take a picture. Trying to help, I slowly say, "You... want me... take picture?" while using hand motions. The man looks at me and says, "No thanks asshole, I got it," in plain English. FML

hah, this guy doesn't deserve any defending.... i mean, come on, it's california. i'm sorry, but if was any other race, it wouldn't have been so quickly assumed that they were "foreign" like it happened. it's just a stupid stereotype that asians = foreign, when that's (obviously) not the case at all. i'm asian, and this happens to me as well. pisses the crap out of me... well it's actually funny sometimes when they talk about you right in front of your face and you respond in perfect in english.... funny seeing their reactions (:

Way to be a stupid American. That's just a rude way to communicate, period, unless it's established that you HAVE to to get anything across.

As much as I understand that you meant well - I get really frustrated when people are ignorant. It's not just stereotyping Asians as foreign, non-english speaking immigrants, but even judging someone's intelligence by how their physical appearance, by their clothes, etc. It pisses me off when people jump to conclusions without observing. We'd never be where we are at now as a society if women were still seen to be only good for being housewives!! Read more, travel more!
