HII yâall wonât believe what happened today omg... i FINALLY worked the guts up to confront this racist dude. earlier today ppl in my english class were already being homophobic to someone i personally knew (behind their
back) and i got so fed up. i gave the other dude a dirty look tho

ANYWAYS bc of that i got tired just so tired, so when he said ching chong i just let IT ALL OUT.
basically i said âcan you stop saying that? iâm asian and itâs a racial slur.â and i know it doesnât seem like a lot but it means a lot to me bc iâve never ever confronted someone like this before. and ngl i wasnât even thinking when i said that i just was so tired of it and said
what was on my mind WSDJSJD. and i said it angrily, and the dude just sat there in shame and put his head down and said âok.â idk y but all of a sudden i donât feel like- well idk. i feel... empowered? it took a lot of guts to do that, and itâs been years of facing racism and
today i guess was finally the day i stood up to it and didnât stay quiet.
and if ur experiencing the same thing, i guess i realized that these racists feel power when the ppl theyâre being racist towards... donât say anything. they think thereâs no consequences. theyâll immediately shut up and stop once you call them out, so if thereâs this one person
whoâs been bothering you by being homophobic , racist , etc. tell them off. they feel like theyâre in power until you stand up to them, and then the roles are in reversed. youâre the one in power once u stand up to them, and theyâre the weak ones. (but rlly all along, uâve been
the strong one and always have been.) so do it, call out that racist. the feeling i got when i did it and confronted him, i felt empowered.
plus if u ever want to talk about it i am here and i completely understand.
