I am an American!

A real conversation I had today;

Him- “This little Mexican girl that was working at McDonald’s asked me if I could move to a smaller table and I told her hell no, I was here first not my f*cking problem y’all don’t have enough seats. I wanted to ask her when she climbed over the fence to get here. Shit, I am an American, born here, I got all the freedoms that come with it. Tell me to move. She’s lucky I didn’t turn her in, there was a cop standing right there. I could’ve turned her in and got her little brown butt sent back to Mexico.” 

Me- “You don’t look like a native American.”

Him- “What the hell does that got to do with anything? Oh, well I got some Indian blood in me, not the dot head kind.”

Me- “Right. But like I said you don’t look like a native American to me so somewhere in your family tree not one but two people crossed a border, sailed on a ship, maybe even climbed a fence to get here so YOU could be born in America. So what makes you so much more special than her?” 

Him- “Because I was born here, my mama and daddy were born her. My brother died in Vietnam for this country, he died so I can sit any damn place I want to sit. What has that little brown girl done for this country? Jumped a fence so she can take my order? Nothing, she ain’t done nothing. Hell she shouldn’t even be here. All those people think we owe them something, hell they are lucky to be here, take our jobs and send the money back to Mexico or India, shit don’t get me started.” 

Me- “Sounds like you have already started.”

Him- “What the hell you mean by that?”

Me- “Sounds like you are mad about something else, not her. And how do you know she wasn’t born here? Just cause she is brown? She was just trying to do her job which is to accommodate the customers. I certainly wouldn’t have wanted to ask you to move, but I am sure her manager, probably some American, told her to do it. She knew the minute she asked you if you would move to a smaller table there was a 50-50 chance you were going to act like an ass about it, and she was right.”

Him- “F*ck you”

Me- “Have a nice day.”

I wonder who is fueling all this hate?

“So disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed @Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson. This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!” – Trump tweet 2-6-18
