#100PostsIn24HrsForAAPIHeritageMonth - 84 - Aggressive People Because Of My Asian American-ness?

Sunday, May 24, 2015

So I had this encounter the other day where I was walking into a store that I usually don't go to and the enter stickers were on the right and left outside and right inside doors - so I decide to go on the left and this guy - who sees me, instead of using the other door decides to go out the door I'm coming in through and says "Wrong way" - like I'm a dumbass who can't read English.

At least that's how I felt.

And I wondered why the person needed to say anything at all - because they didn't. And the entry is clearly ambiguous.

I had to wonder if my Asian American-ness promoted them to say that - and yes - I was going to say something, but I let it go.

Because I'm trying to just do that when I can...

Still makes me wonder though...
