Ignorance is NOT Bliss

Today, I did some retail therapy.. YESSSS!!

Anyway, in one of the dressing rooms I overheard an employee saying something like "You know, Chinese and Filipinos.. they do feet". I'm staring at her like "is this bitch for real?". First of all, that is one of the most ignorant comments I've heard in a long time. No wonder I don't go out. =P Then I'm thinking to myself, in all the years living in NYC, not once did I come across a Filipinio "doing feet". Even if I did, that is still a stupid comment. The bitch probably just group Filipinos and Chinese together b/c "all asians are the same". No we are not all the same. That's why we don't speak the same language. Its like those ignorant ppl saying "Colombians, Mexicans, they're all the same". No Bitch. Yeah, if Filipinos are all the same as other asians, why are 95% of Filipino last names Spanish? Hmm.. could that be b/c our ancestors are Spanish decendants, and when I say "Spanish", I mean from Spain, not from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Mexico. B/c the PROPER country of the Spanish ppl are from Spain. (And Filipinos ARE Asian -- tell me why I get another comment "oh I don't consider Filipinos asian". WTF?! Then why is the country part of Asia? Did you know India is in Asia?!? I'm not going to get into that. If I'm wrong about Filipinos being Asian, then by all means, I'm welcoming any corrections.) How would she like it if someone said "yeah, all black people are ghetto". Obviously that's not true, so don't go opening your stupid ass mouth and say some shit you obviously pulled out of your ass. Yes, I seem upset, but I'm more disgusted than anything. I don't know what's worst, hearing her say ignorant comments, or watching the asian guy she was talking to NOT correct her stupid ass. Thank God I just laughed it off while standing in line.

P.S. Got GREAT Shoes!!! =P

First of, I wanna see the shoes!
Second, that bitch! I don't think you need to even think anything of it. That stupid bitch doesn't even know if Philipine is in Asia... go figure... Not to rub dirt on my ppl, but most ppl who do feet are Koreans, from what I've seen... :\
Either ways, she's an ass...
