sometime you have to put it all out on the table...
A message to my best friend (actually sent hace pocos minutos)
I have more to say...
While we're on this subject of me supposedly being rude...let me discuss a few things with you. I have been thoroughly embarassed with the way you and your friends have acted. You act like no one can understand what you're are saying. The things you say are completely inappropriate, and NOT in a funny way. Then I have to go behind you and explain why exactly you are acting like you guys are so much better than the rest of them. I realize that Argentina may not be up to your standards, and that you would rather just be on some clean resort somewhere with a bunch of Americans, but you are in South America on an exchange and this is how it is. I have kept my mouth shut this entire time because you have always been my best friend, but I have to draw the line as well. I am not responsible for you...this is my exchange as well and I don't appreciate the fact that when I tell them that you are my best friend they want to know why exactly you and your friends act the way you do, and I'm tired of it. Maybe you don't mean to do it or maybe you don't realize how racist and ridiculous some of the things you say are, but now you know...and when you get back to the states do and say whatever you want, but as long as you're still here you need to respect these people and their country, because you are a guest...you are not here to criticize. Sorry it came to this...I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning.
I think that sums it up, I think it's fair...and I think I have sat too long sin decir nada...
