My friend and I were chatting outside a cafe when a Bogan looking human riding on a scooter passed us saying "๐fucking Asians". ๐
I don't think I belong in that category but I'll take it. She was def looking for a reaction and I gave her none and she just left. This was my first openly racist comment in 4 years, not bad!
The worst abuse I used to hear in Detroit was abuse from passers by who thought I was a race traitor. So maybe that's why you copped some nasty words. Not Asian but hanging with Asians in an Asian place.
It's unacceptable and distressing. hugs
just remember, said bogan has to exist as themselves. Helluva punishment.
