I was at the drive through of a fast food chain today ordering a veggie burrito (I don't know why I like eating that.) today. I was at the drive thru window,when a older white man came stop abruptly in front of me, and got out of his car. Where he then walked towards my car and the drive thru window to have them fix his order.
When he got to the window, he yelled the employee for getting his order wrong. To apologize for having to inconvenience me, he then ranted to me about those workers not knowing English (which they could speak perfectly), being stupid and not getting an education, and how he is so annoyed. At that point I was already annoyed with the man.
I guess he realized later on that I was a minority because he told me he thought Asian were better. Asians actually tried he said. That only made me more annoyed.
He went on to tell me to get me my masters, and that his son was a 22 year old hot shot in NY making $120k starting. He told me his son got his masters at 22, which is very impressive. I didn't mind his ramblings about doing well in school because I know that education is important, but then he always had to add some insulting remarks to the workers there. How I should become all powerful and boss these "nobodies" around.
I really dislike racism or when people think they are better than others. We're all humans, and I think we should take care of each other. (I love anthropology because you can see how closely we all really are.)I never know how to handle these situations or if I should just ignore them.
I just hope I never offend anyone because of my rude behavior.
