Coworker: the person at immigration was only laughing because they were uncomfortable. Me: oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, standing behind me. Fuck off.

Never say "you're overreacting" to someone if you weren't there to see the thing that made them upset.
Pet peeve. Japanese people *always* do that. Even the most open minded friends can't help inventing reasons why you misinterpreted some random other Japanese person being ann asshole. "Shy" "embarrassed", they're never dicks and you're overreacting.

The coworker in question isn't Japanese though, just always assumes I'm using white privilege or being "too American" in every situation where I'm upset. It's weird.
-
Well, serves me right for generalizing and stereotyping. I'm so tired of my own friends defending just about anyone against all evidence.
-
Nah! Fair assumption! My Japanese coworkers are actually super sympathetic about immigration issues, as they hear their foreign coworkers complain about it so often.
