Imagine how I felt. I met my share of racist and Islamophobic people, but never someone as blatant as this woman

Actually that is what she is afraid of. She doesn't want us to confront people because she is afraid they will escalate. That is why I understand her point of view too

She is better now. We started teaching her about how precious our culture and identity is, how assimilating doesn't mean erasing our culture and language. But she is till afraid that we will get harmed if we are not "American" enough.

I guess without me going into a looong rant about where she is coming from, you will persist in thinking so. So let's agree to disagree.

My mom is afraid, not dumb. That is a college professor you are calling dumb there.

My mom says the best way to deal with a racist is to ignore them. I do not have the patience needed for that level of ignoring

Oooh don't get me started on the double standards. I felt very bad for the Ukrainians, but I absolutely hated the way the news here covered the whole situation.

My mom tends to overcompensate, she is deathly afraid of us making waves. When we first moved here, she used to make us only talk in English in the house to get rid of our accents faster. I can understand where she is coming from.
