Feeling the Bern

36. Happened to my wife in Phoenix. She was told "chinks ain't welcome in America" by some

fat asshole in an In and Out Burger while I was in the bathroom. I came back out and saw him standing over my slight, petite wife (5'1", 105 lbs) so when I came up and said, in perfect Chinese "are you okay, dear" the guy looked at me (6'2", 255 of pretty much solid muscle) and grumbled something under his breath about "race traitor" and having a "chink-ense girl" then walked away.

I sat down and she asked me what a Chink was. I looked at the guy and screamed at him "if you talk to my wife like that again, I will break every bone in your body." He ran out, shamed. The manager came out to see what the problem was, apologized to my wife as if he did it, told her "Welcome to America" and made our lunch gratis.

I was speaking Hebrew to my Jewish friends (I am Jewish) at UA in Tucson and got the same shit. We looked and told the troll to go F himself.

Stand up to these xenophobes, they back down.
