Open Letter To That Racist Person From That Video
Honestly I can’t even keep track anymore
Hi Racist Person,
I’m sure you’re currently overwhelmed with the public reaction to that video of you being racist, and you won’t even read this letter. But on the small chance that you do: what the fuck, brah?
I’m not going to waste my breath explaining to you that the people you hate are, well, people. That’s not what I’m trying to do here. I’m tired of that and you’re clearly not going to listen. So I’m just going to ask you something.
Why? Why say these things when you know it’ll come back to haunt you? Why do it? Is your insatiable need to put down others greater than your instinct of self-preservation? Like, why?
Just shut up. Shut your mouth hole. Just be quiet. It’s not that hard. It’s what you used to do before Trump was president! Just go back to a time when you weren’t as emboldened.
When you see a Latino person doing their job, just keep walking! You don’t need to stop what you’re doing and go yell at them to go back to Mexico. No one is making you do this. Also chances are they’re not even from Mexico. There’s a whole list of other countries to choose from but that’s not the point, Karen! Karen, look at me! You could lose your job when that video is posted! What are your kids going to eat, Karen? Come on, girl!
When you see a little girl selling water bottles, keep walking. She’s selling water bottles, for Christ’s sake. You don’t need to call the cops! Like, what do you even get out of that, other than your business crumbling? You big dumb dummy!
And Jesus Christ, if you have a successful career in a competitive field, don’t ruin your life just to yell at some people speaking Spanish in a restaurant! Jeez! Like, you’ve worked so hard! What’s wrong with you? Seriously! What’s wrong with you? I’m like, concerned for you hateful assholes.
All I know is that if one of you dummies comes up to me or one of my loved ones and starts saying some racist shit, I will expose you. I won’t like it, but I’ll do it. It is my right as a Latina woman and as an iPhone owner (because like, who even cares if you film an injustice with an Android). Just don’t do it, okay? I don’t wanna deal with it. Spare me the headache, Karen.
Just shut. Your. Mouths. It’s not that hard!
Love,
Ellie
P.S. Seriously? She sold marijuana for dogs and called the cops on a child selling water? Like… I need to lie down
