Don’t You Speak Asian?, Part 5
A mother and her grown son are shopping in the store. The son keeps trying to hit on me.
Son: “Konnichiwa! You’re so kawaii!”
I try to ignore this, but this causes the mother to blow up at me.
Customer: “Stop being so stuck up and racist! You should be glad my son is worldly enough to speak Asian to you!”
I have never met him before and I am not Japanese. I just respond:
Me: “Sorry, no English.”
They had previously heard me speaking English with my friend. I then just walked away.
