Discrimination : " ing chinamen"

Canadian chinese  girl who is learning to drive. GASP! Oh shiet chinese driver alert .ㅗ -..- ㅗ

I dread driving lessons because my parents force d me into taking it so i can get my N before i graduate this year. Todays driving lesson started off really well. Throughout the whole drive, my teacher barely spoke a word . Thats a good sign because that means I wasn't in an danger or causing any danger. After about an hour into the lesson, my teacher instructs me to pull over so he can teach me a lesson and draw some diagrams. we parked in a quiet residential area and the mini lesson went on for about 3 minutes until we noticed a truck was back up dangerously close to our car. It was close to the point where it almost hit our car and my teacher had to back up . The owner of the truck was a Caucasian man in about his early 40s. He walks over to my teachers window glaring at us. My teacher rolls the window down and the man start firing his accusion at it. 

" YOU GUYS ALWAYS PARK HERE AND HIT MY CAR! THERE ARW OTHER STREETS! PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE" , the guy yelled.

What the hell. First of all ,i've never hit anyones car...yet. Secondly,  this is my first time parking there. We Were parkedfor a few minutes before he came and tried to hit our car with his nast rear end  of his truck. Of course my teacher didnt just sit there and take the blame so he fired back. 

" we did not hit your car. Out car was parked already and you came along. We have never hit your car before so we didnt do it", my teacher reasoned but you can hear his anger building up. 

Get ready for the next thing this man says . 

" i know you didnt hit my car but you ing chinamen are always driving here. drive somewhe else ! " 

HOLD ON. He knows we didnt hit him and then goes on and calls us " ING CHINAMEN". What the effing hell. I was too shocked the whole time to even make a peep.

My teacher then exploded and yelled " EXCUSE ME SIR! CALLING US 'ING CHINAMEN' IS DISCRIMINATION ! WE TOLD YOU WE DID NOT HIT YOUR CAR!" 

The guy was shocked And said " what? Aixbaknx..."my teacher rolled the window up , not bother to reason with this guy anymore. The man stomped back into his house and my teacher finished the lesson. I wasnt paying attention though. All i was hearing was " ing chinamen" again and again . That whole event repated in my head the whole time and the more it repeated the harder it was for me to hold back my tears. My teacher told me to pUll out and start driving but then i started to cry. I was in shock . I was scared. I calmed myself down and started to drive home but tears jst continuously trickled down my cheeks the whole way home.

I've become a very sensitive person in the past 3 years because of depression and stress. I noticed that i cry too easily and it something that i hate about myself but i couldnt help it this time around. Calling my race " ing chinamen " is discrimination to my people and was out of this line. I know very well that there are many people out there who discriminate other races daily and its not something new and that it is definately not something that can be stopped in one day. But haing to experience that when we didnt do anythin wrong ... I just hope that guys kids don't turn out like him so the next generation would be kinder. However by the looks of it, its that not gonna happen. I shake my head in dissaproval and disgust in these ill mannered folks. 

I still remember what the guys house looks like and number. If i werent so much of a scardy cat i would drive to the guys house on the day i pass my test and get my N and wreck his car. I'll go at night, slash only 3 tires( cuz insurance doesnt pay for the damage unless all 4 tires are slashed ... Atleast thats what i heard ) , use my keys to stratch a beautiful picture all over his car and then egg his house on behalf of us " ing chinamen." of course, i wont do that cuz that woul make him hate us more but i can still dream  right? Or hope karma would get him back. 

Lol. 2nd post and i dont seem like a very happy person do i? :$ mian. 

P.s. unlike that man , this event won't make me hate on cauasians and think that they are all like him. Im better than that guy and my parents taught me well enough to not male assumptions like that. 

Thanks for reading :)

That guy was un called for, for calling you that! People like him are just ignorant. No other words to describe them, just ignorant.
