Today, while I was doing my job as a groundskeeper, a couple of kids wearing MAGA hats threw garbage and rocks at me, then told me to "go back where you came from". I'm American, but I guess my beard makes me look like an immigrant or something, as this isn't the first time this has happened. FML

Today, a man I don't know came up to me and started screaming about how "all you damn Mexicans were stealing American's jobs" and he stormed off. I'm Native American, and I'm pretty sure we've been here longer. FML

Today, I was cleaning up litter from the street, when a guy asked who I work for. I said nobody and that I was just doing some community service. Before I could clarify that it was voluntary community service, he called me a "piece of shit delinquent", spat on me, and walked off. FML

This is America

By AngryBlackMan - 03/02/2021 21:30 - United States

Today, I'm a gay, black man who moved to a racist, mainly white, homophobic town for work. I've already had the cops called on me twice, and a group of teens yelled the f-slur at me unprompted. When I asked my boss if I could swap, he threatened to fire me. This is gonna be a long 6 months. FML

Bakery people seem to have a lot of weird "opinions"

By AnyaO - 08/09/2022 12:30

Today, I was refused service at a bakery, got yelled and cussed at to the point of tears, and told to go back to my home country, Ukraine. According to the guy, my people are Nazis who spent the past year draining Americans of their tax dollars to fund their war. I couldn’t report him, he was the owner. FML

Today, an Asian man approached me and called me pretty. I thanked him and he asked if I'm Chinese. When I said, "No, I'm Taiwanese" he promptly spat in my face and called me a "traitor to the motherland." FML

Today, on my first day at my new job delivering mail, I was yelled at by a guy, who threatened to shoot me if I "trespassed" on his property. He made me toss his mail toward his porch from the street, before telling me to get lost. FML

The USA is founded on immigration. The only Americans moaning about immigration should be the Indians.

I know, but there's settlements and towns near deserts to help keep the rotten ***** alive. A volcano would be a permanent (and more satisfying) solution.

Like, can we not because it's no longer active or morally wrong? Because this country is starting to seem like it needs quite a bit of vigilante justice against all the disgusting bigots.

Coming from a fellow bearded one, that's a case of facial profiling. They are probably haten on ya because they can't grow one themselves.

Anyone wearing a MAGA hat and abusing anyone else, either immigrant or not and even illegal or not, should be ashamed of themselves, and should be appropriately punished. No one is going to MAGA by being a total ass. I'd like to think they were wearing the caps just to insult Trump, but they are 100% wrong in either case. Be well.

I really doubt they meant it as an insult to Trump. Trump built his whole campaign on dog whistle racism, making immigrants a scapegoat for everything wrong in America. It's a trick as old as politics to pretend to be one of the little people (because nothing says average Joe American like a billionaire capitalist born with a diamond spoon in his mouth) and to pander to rampant xenophobia. He also made it ok to be openly bigoted and discriminatory under the pretense of being non-PC. He has no issue calling out to the families victims of crimes by illegal immigrants while completely ignoring immigrants victims of hate crimes (for instance Srinivas Kuchibhotla). Same happened in UK after Brexit. Racist idiots felt empowered to attack people based solely on their skin color or attire.

i agree. the current leader isn't making his country great he's basically sending it to ruin personally and financially. gm has cut 1000 jobs already and pandoras box once opened is hard to close.

I typically just scroll through and have a laugh at the insane situation people get themselves in, but this story is completely ridiculous. Whether this man was an immigrant or not, behavior like that by anyone should not be tolerated. How anyone can click " you deserve it" to this is beyond me.
