Big Butch Girl 1 - Me 0

Thank God I don't live in the U.S. I live in a real first world country. It's rare that someone gets that nasty, but at least I know I could stand up for myself if it came to it.

Why did you feel the need to say she was African American? Joking, I know the was they can be. I had a few run ins with blacks during my time in the U.S!

Oh, and I was over the issue long before I posted it.

 

I'm not saying there's any conscious intent as such. But that it's ignorant, and such behaviour, although intended to be polite, makes the assumption that you are smaller and less independent.

That spells it out.

 

In fairness, there are times when people are rude in disguise.

Like if someone says "thank you", but the same way that they would say "fuck you".

It's also easy to think that someone is playing games with you even if they aren't.

I guess we can't really know.

 

Your survival instincts are to be commended

Black women here in America have been trampled on for so long any retort would have unleashed the gates of hell

This, on the other hand, sounds nuts and I would not have stayed silent through it. I don't think I've ever seen anyone be that seriously rude in public before. I do love canada.
