Hmm.. sounds like they're mistaking "heritage" with "nationality". No, you're not Japanese, you were born in America to American parents. But your heritage is 1/4 Japanese, because no matter where your parents were born you still have your grandma's blood in you.

Do you have any Japanese characteristics?

I like this statement because you've got me thinking. Isn't is wrong to label African Americans, Native Americans, Chinese American, ect. as that when we were born in America? It irratates me. I've never stepped foot in Africa, yet I have to fill the shit out on applications, look at it on certificates ect.

 

[a_iver]

yeah that is pretty stupid

It's politically correct.

 

[a_iver]

they're all americans.. i dunno, i think what's more important is the person's intent.. it is getting hard to keep track of what all the different kinds of people prefer being called, but i see what corean's saying.

:blink: Not liking that too much are you?

 

[Bloodlessr]

If the job description has the words "serving" and/or "people" in it I probably wont like it.

 

[sketchyrx]

I'd probably respond by saying it's good to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, but I've been in retail for almost 7 years and I've only gotten better at bullshitting with people I don't know and don't care about. <_<

 

[dascoot]

I forgot you mentioned you were gonna start that job.

We should open our own business, you take care of puttin the food in them and I'll be in charge of removing it once it's out.

 

[sketchyrx]

And I'll throw pills in their general direction...

 

[Bloodlessr]

I could walk around and bs with the old guys about sports, that would be fine.

 

[dascoot]

They'd just tell you that your sweet fro is what's wrong with America and ask why you're not in the military.

 

[Bloodlessr]

They'd tell me to shave too. :lol:

 

[dascoot]

Damn kids these days.

I totally just saw an old guy power walk past my apartment about an hour ago. We were outside hangin out and he comes hammerin up the street with a walker, doin that butt swing like they do. I was like WOO go old dude! (Inside my head of course, someone that old that's in good enough shape to power walk could probably fuck me up.)

 

[sickboy]

i was stocking the shelves with scary movie 4 when i felt a tug on my right leg.
i looked down to see a little girl with blonde pigtails hold a juice box looking up at me.
she held out her juice box and as i looked at it, i could see that it was still sealed, so i asked her if she wanted me to open it for her.
she just stared and shook her head yes.
so i placed the straw into the hole and gave it back to her.
she smiled at me and began to drink her juice, i thought that it was over and began to stock the movie again when i felt another tug on my pants.
i looked down again and the little girl looked up and asked for a barbie movie with fairies.
i started to walk over to the children dvd aisle and she came up next to me and grabbed my hand.
i looked down at her and she kept smiling back, i began to wonder where her parents were.
i found the movie and handed it to her, she began to jump up and down and kept saying, "yeah, baby" like austin powers.
she then told me a joke to thank me for helping her out.
she said, "why don't lobsters share?"
i told her that i didn't know and she started to giggle and say, "because they are shellfish"
she kept laughing and laughing when a lady came up behind me and startled me (i'm easily startled), she looked at the little girl and then at me and said, "she wasn't bothering you, was she?"
i said no and she asked if i had opened her juice, i said yes.
she smiled and began talking to the little girl who referred to me as her new friend.
i found out that she was four and she wandered off from her mom while her mom was looking at cameras.
her mom thanked me for watching her and i told her it wasn't any trouble.
as they were walking away, the little girl called me over and kissed me on the cheek.
weird, huh?

 

[dascoot]

You're like a man-child, the babies all flock to you.

 

[leone]

I scare babies.

 

[dascoot]

Everything flocks to me, and I basically beat em all off except the doggies.
