You are the Donkey...

I find it funny when people assume something and then get mad when you say, “I find it offensive.” Then instead of that person asking, “Why are you offended?” They say, “well you should be offended only if: a, b, and c.”

Here is the example that stirred up this topic today:

You just met someone who first assumes you are Persian and then call’s all of them, “evil.” And the person wants to ask you if that is true? How closed minded are you?

I say: The Stanley Milgram studies proved that all people have the potential to be evil.

Secondly, this person then assumes you are full blood Indian because you wore a sari for once in your lifetime and starts speaking Hindi to you. Let me add that this person is Caucasian. This brings me back to my first point where you felt offended.

Do you see a pattern? Let me break it down for all of you:
1) Assumes you are Persian asks if you all are evil
2) Assumes you are Indian and speaks to you in Hindi
3) When you say, “I am offended” they say:
a. You should be offended if you are: ashamed of your culture
b. You should be offended if you are: having a bad day
c. You should be offended if you are: closed minded

Here is what I have to say: Go fuck yourself. Next time hear someone else out before you assume things. This is just vital information for your everyday lives.
