Last night a white man yelled at me and a white gf that we were "stupid fucking bitches" when I passed her a lighter rather than let him pass his over. He and his friends walked off into the night promising future violence if they saw us out. We were right behind our job. Those men live three streets away from my house. Two hours later a group of big white men in a wedding party outside of a new bar in the neighborhood yelled at me in randomized Spanglish and told me I was gonna get deported. Part of me wanted to laugh at the fact they couldn't even identify me ethnically to insult me with the proper slurs; part of me was 15 again, walking the hallways of my high school the week after 9/11; part of me wanted to use the glass bottle in my hand to smash the stupid grin off his bigoted face. Instead, I looked at the woman next to me, thought of what would happen to her if I did, and walked away quickly. Had to walk past them alone 5 minutes later. Bet you can guess what that sounded like. These macro aggressions used to at least be a bit more spread out. Days or weeks apart. Now it can all happen in just a few hours on a Saturday night.
