Why do immigrants freak out when white people are racist to them?

[Regg]

We all know that one immigrant (yes all of you) who would freak out and engage in physical altercation because a white person was racist to them but I will never understand the over-reaction.

I grew up in the West all my life but I still feel like an outsider. I know that white people in the West will see me as a different person and I am not offended by it at all. I completely understand because my culture, religion and skin is 'foreign' to them so what do I do? I just ignore them and move on or try to change the subject.

The people I know from different backgrounds started showing their racist colors when they got too comfortable with me, it hurts but I respect that. I like honest people than two faced snakes. Same with my work colleagues who always complain about foreigners in their country for several justifiable and understandable reasons.

It's almost as if they completely forgot what happened just 2 generations ago when everyone was able to express their true colors freely and most of them are alive today. You will never be accepted by white people in the West so no need for the over-reaction. No need to brag about it when they give you a citizenship or call yourself Western country-your ethnic in the same line.

So, why feel offended?

I pretend to be offended so I’m not seen as a coon but really don’t care.

If you're from the U.K or France I'm ok with you telling me to go back to my country bc you're native to that land but not from the American and Australian invaders

Huuno it is NOT a matter of acceptance. It is a matter of Humanity. Humans are basically the same white or or black. Minority or immigrants are qaraar because they have someone who is in this dunya socially & genetically upper than them in the ladder. (everybody wants to be white race right? eye color fake contacts? skin bleaching diana creme, horse hair weave etc etc ) I think they view people under them as despicable. So when Karma bites their butts and a white man or woman dares treats them as they teat their inferiors-- they get shook.


or it could be my messed up interpretations as usual

Because some of us have dhiig? If an Cadaan calls you a n1gger are you going to agree with them and walk away?

They can say whatever they want in private, but once you let people disrespect you to your face, you're only doing yourself a disservice.

that word doesn't have any meaning unless you're AA so idrc. I think it's time for everyone to stope pretending like they're offended by it

 

[greyhound stone]

I would be the same. I understand it cause imagine. Millions of immigrants claim your homeland. I'd hate it myself. It's only understandable in Europe not north America. As its no one's homeland

It's a matter of respect and being treated like a human

I just meant countries that are native to the land. Immigration is punishment for colonialism

It's irrelevant whether or not it applies to you, if someone calls you that, they are trying to degrade and disrespect you, and you're bila dhiig if you don't correct behavior like that.

Not really. If someone trys insult me I don't really care. I've developed tough skin being brought up in a somali household. Insult really don't mean shit. I reply when I feel like it. If not I just keep it moving

the intention is still very degrading and disrespectful, technically i shouldnt be offended but do it offend me? yes

Natives are tired of some immigrants doing crime and contributing nothing. Its not so much an issue of color I'd say.

Where did you get that idea that everybody wants to be white? If you know few that do maybe yourself included don’t assume that applies to everyone because it doesn’t. How absurd!

PS. And yes it is one of your wacky interpretations as usual

It belongs to the native indians and they were living there for how long and the then Americans "discovered" America but really abused the Indians (throwing them into dump houses ) who took them in and looked after them and now they dare celebrate thanksgiving.
