Welcome to Gaia! ::

I dunno which subforum this would belong in so its on the main page. Move it if needed but merh!

You ever have someone say certain words that make something in the back of your head tick? Get this, we all know how its not socially acceptable for non-blacks to say *****. Some find it offensive and what not. The black friend I have said he does not find it offensive but annoying. At first I didn't understand it. Then this kid that sits next to me in my criticle thinking class always says s**t that In my opinion he shouldn;t be saying. Now by when I say he shouldn't be I don't mean because its morally wrong. (to some people it is.) But because it annoys the s**t out of me and I put myself on a pedastal.

Example, this dude will come up to me and say "Whats up esse." Or he'll go "Hey cholo!" and it annoys the s**t out of me. Like I'm impressed that he can call me a homie or a hoodlum in spanish. I wanna slap the s**t outta him each time. Some times I think he tries to upset me. one time be brought a spanish/english translator to class to try and talk to me in all spanish.

Now get this. I can speak and understand spanish just fine. however I can neither read not write in spanish. Not past a first grade level anyway. Spanish is my forst spoken language, but I learned to read and write in school and in english. Well one time this ******** uses some translator on the internet and wrote me a letter. i couldn't read it and when he gave it to me the next day I fronted like I could and gave no reaction. I had my momma read it for me. Basicly it was just bull s**t. When he gave me the letter though I felt like crying because I'm illiterate in my own language, but thats another story.

Seriously now the next white kid that reffers to me as esse in spanish to my face again will get pimp slapped.

Discuss:
-Similar experiances
-Things people say on the daily basis that annoy the s**t out of you.
-People purposely trying to speak a certain way to be 'cool' or to be accepted.

You should beat them with a stick.

There's this one memory I had with an old friend a long time ago that just annoys the hell out of me. My friend was trying to speak to me with the few offensive words she knew in Swahili. I got confused because first off I'm not Swahilian. And then she told me that all people from Africa speak that. I just glared at her for a moment and told that I'm going to try to forget that.

Another thing I hate is being told that I talk like a white girl that I should be more black. English isn't even my first language. I learned most of it from little kid's show when I was little and from friends that spoke english. I already know my native language, Tagrinya, which is an African language. I visit Africa on occasions too. Bottom line is that I hate streotypes. Like everyone else.

I also hate white people that say Viva La Raza all because a mexican wrestler said it.

Does that kid where a lot of ICP T-Shirts? That would explain the ninja thing. 3nodding I could explain it myself but if you get it then I don't have too.

Wow.. that makes me angry. I don't understand how people can be so ignorant.. oh wait.. maybe because in school we learn white history all the way until we 18, if not longer.
That's so cool you know another lang. razz I'm jealous, k.

Also.. I get the, "Yo yo yo, wassup homie G dog!!" And then I stare at them.. and they are like, "Sorry. Im just a white kid."
Urgh, be real wit me and don't try and put on a front, especially before I say anything... Sorry.. going off on a tangent.
Sometimes when my white friends introduce me to their white friends, I get the reponse above.
