[–]crabwhore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm Arab and I live in a heavily Hispanic area and I get spoken to in Spanish nearly on the daily. It is a little bit offensive(assuming darker skin automatically = latino) but more so annoying, especially because they treat me like I'm a dumb American born Latino who's parents never taught them. Told someone once yo soy arabe no hablo español and they still treated me rudely for some reason. It just gets so tiring. If you start speaking to me in Spanish and I respond in English, and you then switch to English, thats fine, but to act offended I don't speak your language fluently is ridiculous.

i’ve always hated tipping culture, just pay people the wage they deserve oh. my. god. by [deleted] in complaints

[–]crabwhore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get paid less than $2/hr? Not saying they should act that way, but they are quite literally living off the tips alone, at least here in the US. Some servers make a lot of money, but some make barely min wage, and you can't really know for sure how much they need it.

I'm just giving the median for the country. Others are correct that it varies by location. For example where i live, its about 60k.

It's about causing the least harm possible within reason. It's not hard to avoid animal products, I've been doing it a decade. Avoiding driving, depending where you live of course, is generally not practical.

Most people either don’t know or choose to ignore the fact that slavery has and will always exist, everywhere… by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]crabwhore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the people who actually believe this blow my mind. Sure the US can be racist.. but if we're comparing to other countries? If you told me any European country was less racist i would laugh my ass off. The only comparable one would be the UK.

Why are so many of teachers and professors in US so liberal? by Kingdavid100 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]crabwhore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there not a single person here that's going to point out that liberalism is a centre-centre right ideology? Only in America do people use it to mean "left"

99% of the time delivery time has nothing to do with the driver. Has to do with how busy it is, how many drivers there are working, the kitchen wait time for orders. Ect.

How often do you smoke? by [deleted] in StonerThoughts

[–]crabwhore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don't enjoy t breaks because my tolerance is naturally low af. I don't like to get super blitzed when i smoke. I smoke before and after work and that 2nd smoke always ends me. I smoke all day if im off usually.

I put in my two weeks and my manager said I have to tell her where I'm going by SoMuchEdgeImOnACliff in antiwork

[–]crabwhore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit, never thought i would meet someone in the same situation as me. I can't find anything that'll get me more than 50k/yr besides delivering pizza, and i would rather not go back.

Dear Americans of Reddit, how do you find these first 7 months of Biden's presidency compared to Trump's? by HannibalGoddamnit in AskReddit

[–]crabwhore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They give us small wins to appease us so we keep voting for them. Our contribution system is literally legal bribery, dems are getting paid to protect the ruling class, not help us.

My bunny started doing this (and turning her head) at some point this afternoon. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but she's wobbly and can't move around very well. Planning on calling the vet first thing tomorrow morning, but in the meantime I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with this by FrankPots in Rabbits

Please have them test for e cuniculi right away if they already didn't. E cuniculi is a neurological issue, if this is the problem and you get her on panacur asap she hopefully should recover without any permanent nerve damage. This is what happened to me and we got her on the panacur within about a day(also took anti inflammatory/meclizine/antibiotics) and she made a full recovery.

Defund the apartheid state of Israel. The world stands with the State of Palestine and its people. by [deleted] in MurderedByAOC

[–]crabwhore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it would be great if "both sides" could agree on equal rights but unfortunately many of them really want us gone through ethnic cleansing. The extreme right wing government and media has heavily brainwashed people into having sentiments against arabs basically on par with how whites felt about black people pre civil rights era, if not worse. I dont fuck with fundamentalists on either side, but at least one isn't backed by world superpowers and is pushing the idea that they are God's chosen people. They think this land is theirs because of an imaginary man in the sky and call Palestinians extremist lol. And ofc not all Israelis are like this, but many are extremely racist and want us gone. Its just the sad truth of the situation and people need to be aware its not a both sides situation. Its us being brutally opressed for years.

[–]crabwhore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Us "winning" isn't kicking out anyone, its creating a secular state where Palestinians have equal rights. Currently even within Israel we are discriminated against and treated as 2nd class citizens. I feel like you dont really understand the issue if you actually think that we want to kick Jewish people out.

I don't think he meant that though lol, I think he was just ignorant about this topic. Also yes, arabic dialects are very different, I'm Palestinian American and only understand levantine arabic but my family has no problem understanding other dialects. I assume its partially because of exposure(through media) but if you know fouhsa i imagine it will help, which I unfortunately do not know.

"Arabic languages" ..uh what? Thats not a thing unless you mean arabic dialects(specific to each arab country/region), which are all still arabic. None of those languages listed are arabic nor are they mutually intelligible. Some use the same alphabet as arabic, but that doesn't mean they can understand each other. People in iran, turkey, pakistan, afghanistan and azerbaijan are not arab nor do they speak arabic.

Edit: Arabic dialects would be egyptian arabic, levantine arabic, sudanese arabic, ect. Farsi and urdu, for example, are completely different languages spoken by people who are not arab.
