I am an Indian/Pakistani Muslim who went to a school that was literally 91.6% white and most of them were hardcore right wing Catholic conservative pricks. One of the worst things to happen was this rich kid made a huge banner depicting a Muslim terrorist stereotype only with my yearbook picture as the face and people signed it and added more comments that praised it. AND nobody removed the damn thing till the Christmas holidays.
We aren't all like that. We (white, hardcore Catholic/conservatives) might say stuff in our own homes, but out on the street, its only Christian to give you equal respect. Anyone who doesn't is an embarassment and obviously doesn't understand that American conservatives value the individual above all else, and are in the wrong to target people because of who they are.
On topic...
Seen plenty of jerks. Right now, its this one girl who is president of the Drama board. (I'm on Drama board as a liason) So, its pretty gnarly.
1) 15 minute meetings are typically 10 minutes substance, 5 minutes her ranting about how she "can't wait for Stanford to send her an acceptance packet". I shit you not.
2) I'm in the wrong for not being able to attend last-minute meetings if I don't see other board members. How am I in the wrong? I don't get the texts. Why? My parents do not allow it on their plan. So, basically, because my parents don't want to spend the extra money on texting, I am in the wrong. Keep in mind, the text that say there's a meeting in 10 minutes are sent during a class.
3) We had a video to film for the school district about how our school is the one 8th graders should want to attend in the Fall. We got the notification, with "possible" time spans, at 7:30 2 nights before the project. We got confirmation from her for the project at 8:38 PM the night before, with an excuse that "I was at my aunt's all day" to explain why it wasn't confirmed earlier (although couldn't she, I dunno, text the VP to confirm it with everyone? Or, hell, use Phone Facebook to confirm it? She seems to be able to do that...). It started at 10 AM. So... yeah. Fuck your plans if you planned them.
4) This is the one that pisses me off the most. Short story time. My sister attends the University of Southern California (USC). In our area, its in a deep-seated rivalry with the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). This girl is a UCLA fan. One day, I was sitting in the dressing room, waiting for a cue, when I overhear her proclaim loudly, "USC is full[ of white racist pricks. Its such a bad fucking school. Its academics are terrible, and anyone who goes there is a moron!" I simply walk up to this (rather loud) conversation and say, "USC? What's so terrible about it?" She goes on about how, using our "rival" high schools, its the rival high school, while UCLA is our high school. In other words, UCLA is perfect and USC should never have been made and anyone who goes there should be ashamed. I chuckled, then ask, "You
do realize my sister goes there, and I don't much appreciate you calling a University a sack of shit simply because you are "its "rival"", which escapes me beyond all reason as to why you hate something you've never been a part of at all?" She says, "Oh. Well, still, its shit." What-fucking-ever.
5) She's just a moron at politics. She was ranting about how the Republicans are fuckups and they're ruining Obama in every way, shape and form simply because they have house, and that they've fucked up Obama's policies and should be voted out immediately. I said, "Its politics. Boundaries shift, players come and go, but power always finds a place to rest its head. New politicians means new policies." It was a very veiled, very insulting-of-intelligence "FUCK YOU. I'M A REPUBLICAN." She proceedeed to tell me I should run for president because I understood politics and could fix the House of Representatives (the Republican-controlled house of Congress). A chuckle, a wait for her to leave, and a mutter to a fellow Republican, "She'd never vote for me, she doesn't understand anything I say, especially when I tell her she's a moron for insulting an opponent and she agrees with me."
6) I mention this last because it bugs me the least. She's always saying that she's better because she's black. Eh, go ahead and exult yourself in your mind and home for being of a certain race, color, or creed, but don't treat me like shit for being white/different.
Basically, she's a self-centered jerk.
