What I am learning... well, I already knew, but just gets validated each and every waking day...
There are some dumbass people in the world. I can safely say that over the past week or so, I have encountered countless instances of ignorance, absentmindedness, insincerity... the list goes on...
I went to a fundraiser party for a friend/co-worker ... she has founded an awesome organization to provide medical and educational supplies to her mother's village in Peru. Anywho, my friend would do short presentations throughout the event and in one part, she talked about a weaving program that some of the women partake in to earn money for the family. She talked about how some of the women gloat and show their husbands that they are able to make money as well. As my friend was talking, a women sitting next to me goes ' yeah, cuz the men just spend all their money on alcohol... haha.' WTF??? I shot her the coldest look ever and she sat there looking hella dumb. Where do people get off? I guess because I wasn't Latina, then it was safe to say something that stupid. Ridiculous. I really don't know what goes on/doesn't go on in their brains. What for her made it a "safe zone" to talk shit about another ethnicity? Hella dumb.
I have an idea for an invention. All the stupid ass people get shocking devices implanted in their left ass cheek. Each time they say something dumb, a shock strong enough to fry an egg is sent. Yeah, I think that would sale... like hotcakes! Who wants to help me make that happen???
