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

Thanks for making us Americans look arrogant again. You live in California? Then you should have met plenty of Asians who can speak English just fine (they learn it in school, or they're Californians like you). Jeez.

You people need to pull the sticks out of your asses. To all you idiots saying America is the land of immigrants, you're right, it is: which is why there's a very good chance they wouldn't speak english. Plus, it was a large group and they had cameras, so one would assume they're not from the area. The OP was just trying to be nice, so the rest of you please **** off. He wasn't saying he assumes all Asians don't speak english, it was just one group of obvious tourists. Asians visit or immigrate to the USA all the time. Like the rest of you are the morality police anyway. Give me a break.

LOL this is too funny! Being from the west coast, I kno there are a ton of asians living out there! But it's still funny, and the fact that they had cameras (a huge asian stereotype) is just hilarious.

YDI. Racism isn't cool, and if someone said, "You...want me...take picture?" and used hand motions too, instead of using normal English, I would be really pissed off. My English is better than most of my classmates', and guess what? I'm Asian! It's so hard to believe. The diplomatic approach would have been to offer politely and clearly in normal English, not to automatically shift into slow, moronic English. You could have repeated your words in a slow manner if they actually turned out to be foreigners; never jump to conclusions first. If you see a large group of white people trying to take a picture in America, do you instantly assume that they're European tourists who can't speak English? Probably not. So don't do it for Asians either.
