tired of sjw ignorance
I’m getting really tired of sjw’s honestly, let me tell you why.
I’m a white jamaican, born and raised in spanish town and I just moved to the US for university. I have a very strong jamaican accent, I can’t help it. I also used to have dreads up until a few weeks ago cause I wanted a change (you know, the whole new chaptr in your life thing)
I hang out with all the other jamaicans at my school (most of them are black) and of course we all talk about how we miss home and the sunshine and the food. Then one day we’re all talking in the dining hall, then a group of white girls come in.
As I’m talking, I can feel their eyes burning into me, even one of my friends was like you know them girls? they looking at you real ugly" I look from the corner of my eye and say no.
So I continue to talk and I guess one of them finally broke and came storming over to our table and slams her bag down as says to me “it’s honestly so fucking disgusting that you have the nerve to appropriate someone elese’s culture right in front of their face. you don’t even have the fucking decency to at least have a convincing jamaican accent that doesn’t sound forced (what does a forced jamaican accent sound like?).”
Then one of my friends spoke up for me and told her “what are you fucking talking about? appropriating culture? she’s jamaican this is her culture. do you know how stupid you sound? why don’t you think she’s jamaican? cause she’s white? did your stupid ass not know there are white jamaicans? maybe you should read a book about jamaica before assuming we all look like bob marley” and she just stood there for a moment like she couldn’t move at all.
Then she asked me “what town are you even from in jamaica” and I told her spanish town. This is where it gets better. She says “that doesn’t even sound like a town in jamaica” so she takes out her phone to look it up I guess and THE LOOK ON HER FACE WENT FROM SMUG TO “OH SHIT HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS MESS WITH MY DIGNITY” and she just said “whatever I guess I’m sorry or something” and makes her friend leave the dining hall with her. now she doesn’t even look me in the face if we pass each other.
and honestly I see this kind of attitude all the time on tumblr like do these children honestly think white people only exist in the US and England? I mean…really? Also, the white people and black people get along just fine where I’m from, why do ya’ll hate each other so much in the US?
