Ben has recently made it a habit this semester to sit in the corner of the living/main room while he watches YouTube videos and listens to his iTunes at maximum volume. While I'm used to his standard playlist of karaoke rock ballads and shitty hard rock bands like Hinder, what Ben was listening to today was simply revolting.
Morgan and I were returning from running some quick errands in town. As we crossed the living/main room, the phrases "blacks should get off the fuckin' dance floor," "faggots," and "white people should be proud to be white!" were shouted from Ben's laptop speakers. I'm not sure if he was listening to a comedian or if he was watching a YouTube video. All I'm really positive about is the fact that whoever was talking was dead serious about the shit they were spewing.
Thus, I am dead serious when I say the following:
Ben is an ignorant, classless, backwater, cousin-fucking piece of white trash.
Now, I have no problem with white/Caucasian people. Morgan, my girlfriend, is white (she too was appalled). My mother and father are white (I was adopted from South Korea as an infant). A large portion of my friends are white. By all means, all of you, go celebrate your skin colour. But does it really take that much effort to remain tolerant of others? What I absolutely cannot stand is ignorance and racism. I would feel the same way towards an Asian who said this about other races or walks of life.
Whenever events like this take place, I always find myself wondering if I should ask the person "Wow. Were you born thinking like this, or did you practice until you perfected this level of stupid?"
I know this seems hypocritical of me, but I'm so intolerant of intolerant people that I wish there was a way to round them all up and send them away (preferably to Hell). Or just kill them execution-style. Either way.
Anyway, I'll post some more at some later point. Enjoy.
