First off I am not, although I had a run in with one, it was pretty sad though.

I'm oriental, nice guy and all.

Was down in the states on vacation over the weekend, went to this restaurant, it was buffet style. I went to the line up and there was 3 people ahead of me. they were picking some stuff at the beginning of the line and the stuff I wanted was near the end of the line. So my friend went ahead and went to the end and I followed. Then this white old man started to freak that was at the beginning of the line saying we bud in line. I told him that he was at the beginning and all we wanted was something at the end, then he reply "all you kind of people think your so special, u chink". I was so furious and reply back, "oh yeah, we are special, you fucking asshole" then he shut up.

I in no way think I'm special and all this over an supposely budding in line which I don't feel I did. I was hurt and furious at the same time.

What do u think of this?
 
What state?
 
Were there kids around?
 
I try not to be. It's hard sometimes. Especially when I hear people, for example, referring to Brampton as Brampladesh or UBC (University of British Columbia) to the University of Billion Chinese and I find myself smiling. Or when I discuss this country's immigration problems. It's hard, hard, hard.
 
I was in boston so it was Massachusetts, it was like a buffet style at the fallviews casino, long line of food
 
Nothing new.. U see that even in Canada or anywhere you go.

But don't judge an entire country because of some ignorant fool.

One does not have to proclaim they are racist to exclude people or people from other race. You walk down the street sometimes and people don't want to talk to you b/c you are either too light, too dark, too short, too tall, too fat or whatever.

Pokergod...I've done this many times when on vacation at breakfast buffets and never heard anything like that. But, I'm white anglo Saxon.

Sounds like you were quite justified in your response. I would have decked him! (In my Wayne Gretsky slap fighting way!)

Don't let the assholes get you down..it will be a while before attitudes change, but it is coming along slowly.
 
Was it important to point out he was white and old?

Besides, the end of the buffet usually contains the desserts. I hope you finished your veggies before stampeding to the jello. :p
 
no kids around the line up but in the restaurant. I have had little kids come up to me and make fun of my eyes and stuff like that
 
Sounds like a grumpy old man. If there were kids around I would avoid swearing. As long as you did not push your way past doesn't seem like a big deal.

Lots of people have their set ways. He wasn't right using a racial slur.

Economic. Already happening.
 
I grew up in the late 60's and 70's at College/Spadina, back when it was just becoming Chinatown. It was an almost regular thing for old people to walk through our streets and tell us "chinks to go home where you came from", so I know how hurtful that is, probably even more so nowadays as people should know better. Don't let it bug you, just think of it as there are ignorant people everywhere and you can't control what every idiot in the world thinks and says.

The thing that angers me the most looking back, was that we were little kids, between 5 and 8 years old, born here, and these old people were yelling racist epithets at us. I'm sure they're all dead now.

Well said Don Quixote.

I have a pretty bad temper so I would have done the same if not worse than what you said.

In the cool light of day sitting here right now I can only shake my head and pity the old gummer fossil for being so miserable that he would utter a horrible racial slur for the sake of feeling slighted by being passed in the buffet line.

Don't you wish you could have leaned close into him and asked in a calm even tone :

"Pops ... what do the demons say to you when they come out to haunt you as you sit in your easy chair in your dark , lonely house" ?

Do you ever think that in another galaxy there is a being who is watching this type of behaviour and is mystified about what people like pops are upset at?

Like Dennis Miller says:

" There are millions of things I hate about people. Race , coulour , religion and sexual preference doesn't even rate"!
 
That is one of those situations where you have to wonder what the driving motivation was. It could be that he was a racist, who took the line-jumping as an excuse to be mean to someone of another race. Or, it could be that he was a guy who hates line jumping, who used a racial slur because he wanted to upset you, but he otherwise would have slurred your sexual orientation, your appearance, your clothes, or whatever he thought would work.

To me, the racist motivation would be a lot worse than the line-jumper freak motivation. Though skipping people at the buffet is normal, so more likely he is a racist.
 
My experience is that racism in the U.S. is on a whole other level than that of Canada. At least from what I've seen of southern U.S. racists, their mindsets hasn't changed since the early 1800s.

On a side note I find racism and/or prejudice is something all races of people employ against others. Some even try and play the victim card to justify their own blanket hatred and prejudice.

That is soooo true! I beleive as long as we have economic differences, there will also be racism of some sort. US, in terms of racism is alot more worse! Just another reason why Canada is such a great nation; underrated but still a great nation!
 
Poor manners

I'm going to play devil's advocate here (no I am not even going to begin to attempt to justify the racial slurs used, they are indefensible).

Why do so many people seem to think it is ok to jump ahead in a buffet line? :confused:

If I am in front of you in line and I want something that is located at the begininng of the line, why should I have to tolerate someone behind me "jumping the line"? Potentially, this individual could end of taking the last of something further up the buffet that I also wanted!

I think this is just an example of poor manners on the part of people who think this type of behaviour is acceptable. You KNEW it was a buffet when you walked into the place so wait your damn turn!
 
Your complaint is from the state that brings you the Kennedy's I expect nothing less.
