    “No matter what the issue is, it shouldn’t be a race issue, you piece of shit,” said the unidentified shopper who came to Castillo’s defense. “You really think it’s appropriate for someone your age to say some shit like that?”

    That’s a Real One, right there. Props to that shopper.

      That, right there, is who we should all be striving to be. Don’t let this shit slide, don’t tell yourself it doesn’t matter or that it isn’t your fight; this is all our fight, and it always fucking matters.

      Again, so fucking proud of that shopper. That is how low my bar is, now; I’m proud of a guy that was just being a decent human being.

      Yes. Generally these stories end with the asshole getting away with saying whatever they want and no one else challenging them.

      Made my day, this right here. But it’s early so I’m sure there something godawful coming around the corner.

    I just want to point out the pure ironic fucking beauty of this PoS’s tag name without giving him a reply (not sure how the fuck he got outta the greys). And yes, asshole, I flagged your hate-speech ass. Wallow in the greys where you fucking belong.

    (I’m gonna assume that no one is surprised that he can’t fucking grasp grammar or spelling.)

    And this shit...

    Then, the man tried to reason that his beef wasn’t with Castillo’s Latina heritage, but because her kids were misbehaving.

    They were sitting on patio furniture that was put out so people can sit on it and see how it feels before buying, dumbfuck. Does he go into furniture stores and tell people to stop sitting on the couches? Who the fuck made him Patio Furniture Police?

    I have a friend in Colorado who’s a school teacher for a largely underprivileged area. As a massive fan of X-Men, he decided to start an after school super hero film project with his students for some pretty obvious and awesome reasons.

    During a shoot in public, two drunk men approached the kids and told them to go back to mexico. No violence ensued, cops were called in, etc (I can find links if anyone wants them).

    Just... what the actual fuck. If you’ve GOT to have beef with people based on ethnicity... ugh.... fine (no, not fine). Just leave children fucking out of it.

      They know that children and SOME women can’t beat the shit out of them. I know the reverse happens, but I generally only see a racist yelling at a woman and/or kids.

      At heart, these people are giant fucking cowards. They almost never approach anyone that they think could harm them, or even make them uncomfortable about spewing their racist bullshit all over the place. They target kids and women specifically because targeting people with less perceived power than them is the only thing that makes their limp little dicks semi-hard.

      In this case – and almost every other state where you see this shit happening – because they’re all German settlers?

    I just want to add that no one should ever shop at Menard’s for any reason if they have any other viable alternative whatsoever. John Menard is a stone-cold ultraconservative asshole and one of the cheapest pieces of shit ever to stain this country. Richest guy in the state and pays his employees starvation wages (even their fucking attorneys are hourly, I’m not kidding). He makes Ebenezer Scrooge look like Saint Francis.

    Castillo, who says she has lived in Minnesota for 25 years, told City Pages this is the first time anyone has ever spoken to her in such a racist way.

    Exactly. Good, polite Midwesterners always wait until they’re sure you’re out of earshot before talking racist shit about you.

    I was in the grocery store (our local organic place) yesterday, when a young woman and an older woman were discussing where to find the “tumor-ack” (sic). The latina woman stocking some produce didn’t understand them, largely because they couldn’t pronounce the goddamned word correctly, and the older lady says, no joke, slowly and loudly: “can you please get someone who speaks english to help us?”

    The employee just rolled her eyes and walked away. I hung around for a second to see what would happen next, and no one ever came back to help the old asshat racist white lady. A happy ending all around!

    “Go back to Mexico!”

    A line that was commonly said to my brother’s Guamanian wife and small half Hawaiian/Guamanian daughter in North Dakota. After telling the first few racist idiots that they were from islands several thousand miles from Mexico, they gave up because the response they usually received was “It is JUST like a Mexican to lie!”

      Yep, in a small town in PA, some dumb fuck said that to my husband, who was born and raised in Queens, NYC. Mr Reclaiming’s father is of American - Italian descent and his mother is Puerto Rican, which makes him 100% American.

      That was the one time I didn’t try to calm my husband’s bad temper — I let him rage and curse that guy the fuck out, NYC style — in both English and Spanish.
