I keep getting PM's everyday asking me about my thought bubble from days ago stating that I hated people. My fingers are getting tired of typing it out to everyone so here it is.....
I was in CVS Pharmacy the other day getting Ramons ( my man) meds. We're standing there and my son, Jonathan, is counting in Spanish. He gets stumped on how to say one of the numbers and asks me how to say it....I tell him. Well, there's this sweet little old lady behind me. She speaks up and says it's so sad that our children are having to learn other languages in America in order to survive. I explained to her that their father is Cuban and that I want my kids to be bi-lingual. She gets a disgusted look on her face and begins to rant about how freaking sad it is that "us beautiful white girls are mixing with these black men and spanish men". She said that when she sees a bi-racial couple it just makes her sick! She then proceeded to tell me that she'll say a prayer for my children!!! WTF! What for? My children have done nothing wrong.
I was so mad!!!! I didn't know what to say.....I grabbed Ramons meds and left. I got into my SUV and just cried. I couldn't believe it. I have never thought of me and Ramon as a bi-racial couple........but I guess we are. WHO CARES!!!!

Everyone can see this journal post.
My husband is HALF Filipino, and half caucasian. People think of us a "bi-racial" couple my father even likes to make jokes about it. Needless to say both of our children are WHITE A DAY, so people give us dirty looks and I can see on their faces they're trying to pick out features of our children to compare to their father. It's ridiculous!
I am so sorry this happened to you!! I'll pray that, that little old lady gets some sense!
My husband is 1/2 Japanese and some of my family members had the audacity to tell my mom "Well, you never know what you're getting into when you enter a marriage like that", "Me and my family are gonna stick to the WASP (white anglo-saxon protestant, i think?)". My Mom was about to unload on her when her cell phone rang. This was supposed to be a time of mourning for the loss of my grandpa.
My mom waited like a week later to tell me what was said to her. I couldn't believe it!! What a bunch of close-minded freaks!! Needless to say, I don't talk to those people anymore. I'm sorry you had to go through that, it really does suck. The part that bothered me the most was how she insulted my children and my husband!
Remember our phone conversation today-you are I are the normal ones...I would have told her you'd pray for her since she is so ignorant ..Also I would have told her the bible says GOD is the only one who should judge...then asked her are you GOD?
