I understand, finally.
Today I was racialy assaulted.
I was waiting for a friend who was late, so I went into a cafe in a SUPER busy part of town, ordered a coffee and sat down at a single table in the crowded cafe. As I was sitting down, the guy (about 40, who rolled his R's like a yakuza) at the table next to me got up to leave and said some nasty words to my face; I sat down and mostly ignored him but said "sugoi" or "whoa" to myself.
Then he looked at me and said 殺すぞ！ which means, "I'll fuckin' kill u!"
But he then left the cafe. All the other customers looked around and were like "kowai!" or "Scary!" Which I OBVIOUSLY agreed with, but pretended I didn't understand Japanese, b/c it's safer that way, in that situation.
But not I feel like I understand the attitude of some minorities in America after this experience. It makes since to be over protective if u have people that just look at u and want to kill u. I finally understand.
Racial discrimination is shit. -- Never thought I'd be sunjegated to that as a white girl, but there it is.
