LOL. Seriously, I mean... SO VAGUE. How can you..I mean...You can't just go around telling someone of a particular race/etc saying that someone who "looked" like them did some horrible act....It's like Batman syndrome or something.

He was waxing eloquent one day on what "my people had done to his" and I politely my family were Irish and had come over in 1910, so his arguments were inappropriate.

I wish I had the presence of mind to reply "... and someone that looked like you robbed my family's bar last week."
Wow. I seriously laughed out loud. That's awkwardly hilarious. Where does he get off with "well you look like somebody bad" and not realize what he actually is saying? Sheesh.

People like that need to be reminded that before they were kidnapping Africans and bringing them to America, there was this institution called "indentured servitude" that used Europeans, and if anything it was just as bad, if not worse, than slavery. Go to the History Detectives page on the PBS site, then go to I think season 1, and click on "The Body in the Basement" episode and read the transcript, and follow the links. Seriously, I think that was worse than slavery, and it was their own people.
