unpleasant discoveries

Sep 22, 2004 08:29

Yesterday I'm training with my 55-year-old client who wants to be like me. (WTF?) She's telling me about the acupuncture she got the day before and the techniques the woman used. I ask, is the acupuncturist Asian? She says with a laugh, no, she's regular. I open my eyes wide and she says I'm being naughty. I say let's not be like that, OK? And she ( Read more... )

Dude, you so hit a nerve emibaby September 22 2004, 09:13:02 UTC

In April of this year I went on a cruise with my aunt and my mom. It was just the 3 of us, out on the open seas, having the time of our LIVES! We were stopping in Jamaica (where my aunt has ALWAYS wanted to go because she's a pot-smoker), Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. *sigh* Well I say all that to say that we were having an alright time til we actually hit land ( ... )

Oh my god! Girl...oh geezus christobal. WTF. OK, so I love how you went off on her. I woulda done the same thing, yo. I HATE that "those people" shit.

*sigh*

I was gonna tell a story on my own mother, but it's depressing me as I speak. :(

Re: Dude, you so hit a nerve emibaby September 22 2004, 10:55:49 UTC

:( *HUG FOR DA SASS* Don't be depressed. That is SO my job.

Well wtf does one expect when we're only 2 hrs from the border? And its not as bad as people make it out to be. Fuck 'em anyway. I'll take anyone that wants to say shit like that to Olivera Street and show them a good time, surrounded by Mexicans. That one lil section of Downtown is so rich with culture and bad ass architecture (Union Station is right there too), plus you get to see all kinds of mariachis and cute lil mexican girls in their florenco outfits.

Besides all the bad that can be possibly named by one person is trumped by the one good thing LA has.....ME! Ha!

true on da last line ;-) thasass September 22 2004, 10:57:30 UTC

You get into trouble when you make assumptions about a class of people. Shit, diversity is one of the things I love about LA. When I went to Girl Bar for the first time years ago, I was in fawkin heaven with all the Asian, Latina and Black lesbians there that I don't get to see here.

That's so awkward! Between us LJ peeps, I left my temporary handicapped parking placard in a friend's car this weekend. She proudly declared that she had used the placard to park in a H-stall, even though there were a ton of non-H stalls all around. I was so flabbergasted, I didn't say a thing. Also because she has been insanely generous and helpful during the injury. So I get your dilemma.

My dear, sweet Grandma, who says things like "Oh, mercy!" often claims that "those people" should go back to their own continents. This, coming from a woman who's parents emigrated from Sweden. It wasn't until my late teens that I started replying "After you, Grandma."

Re: Crap on a crackah emibaby September 22 2004, 10:51:31 UTC

LOL I say that to religious freaks who say I'm going to hell for being gay. I reply, "Well, in the case that you die before me, and since you're breaking a Commandment by judging me, why don't you hold the door open for me when I get down there?"

And then I smile sweetly and walk away.

Re: Crap on a crackah thasass September 22 2004, 11:02:57 UTC

Re: the parking pass. Oh lawd. Girl, that's horrible. Good grief. I would have to put that on my pet peeve list, jacking the handicapped. The part about how she'd been so generous toward you is just like my client - she's given me Starbucks gift certificates, taped the Olympic bball for me, etc. And to have the racism come out was so disappointing cause it kinda ruined it. And I didn't want it to be ruined! Goddammit.

Laughin at your big ovaries with your grammy. Good for you. I never liked my mother's mother for many reasons, but she was a nasty racist. From Arkansas. In 1983 when she died was still referring to black people as "colored," and making other derogatory remarks. I would start to talk back and my mom would implore me to keep the peace. How the fuck I turned out as well as I did in the racism department is beyond me. Oy.

Re: Crap on a crackah kasmo_sez September 22 2004, 11:13:21 UTC

Eh, I've got plenty o' racism in me. For example, look at that little beaner over there. *points at Da Kink* She's so hawt!

Racism has been a big issue in the United States and still is, I for one, know that my sisters ex-boyfriend was a little racist towards different ethnicities, which pissed me off.

I enjoy anyone's company, it doesn't matter to me what race or gender they are. For example, my music 351 teacher he's way cool, and he's from India, and hilarious too, I enjoy his stories and music. He told us of what goes on there and how people handle the culture and what not.

Equality is important, I wish more people would see that they way I do.

thasass September 22 2004, 11:04:50 UTC

Ya gotta see the person for the person and that's all. For whatever reason, though, that's really hard for people to do.

I agree djshorty September 22 2004, 11:30:30 UTC

seeing the person for who they are on the inside and out is definitely cool, thanks for expanding more, I've got a lot on my mind right now.

kasmo_sez September 22 2004, 11:19:57 UTC

"Equality is important, I wish more people would see that they way I do."

So is diversity! I get enough of my own face in the mirror and my own thoughts in my head. Life would be so boring if I only sought out Peeps Just Like Me. *yawn*
