HeywouldJablowme
Any person that would just treat a completely random stranger like that in a public place belongs behind bars. End of story.
MrBobSaget
That moment when her face turns from laughing to scared is horrifying. WTF is wrong with people?
coolpoolguy
That guy sucks at flirting.
ICannotStressThisEnoughBut
Based on their reactions in preview gif, I came here expecting a light hearted interaction... Now I'm just a mixture of sad and angry.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Same. After the first comment I thought it was just a joke, but then spiraled.

I mean. Good on them for the way they handled it but more importantly good on them for knowing to get animal style fries.

meh. don't pour shit all over my fries. fries are for dipping. if you want to ruin YOUR fries by piling a bunch of soggy crap on, go ahead.

I admire both’s resiliency. I would’ve been filled with rage. Homeboy just rolled with and kept making funny jokes.

Kill these racist fucks with kindness, it only infuriates them more. Twist the knife but don't get stabbed!

I don't think is resilience so much as it is common sense and fear of getting murdered by a braindead dude with a gun.

Kind of shocked me. The situations I was in, being funny resulted in a fist to the face

I'd find it really hard to take that pathetic clown seriously, not being offended by his desperate attempts to hurt them just shattered him.

Waching the video I kept getting as uncomfortable as the girl looked. Making jokes usually leads to escalation as they realize they are not-

-having the fear effect the crave and it makes them angry. Jokes are usually not the way to go with people like these.
NoQuestionMarksInDeclarativeSentences
Wrong. Belittle them at every opportunity. If you don't try to push them to self-unmaking, then you are part of the problem.
Neorago
I envy that you have lived a life where have felt safe enough to have that be the answer you come to.

Same, but then I realized he's a domestic terrorist that supports Trump. That guys comments should land him in federal prison
mcshady
Yea at first I thought 'lol dude called them out' and then it just kept getting SO. MUCH. WORSE. By the middle I was completely disgusted.
wellladeedaa
Someone simply eating with a friend and recording a silly video should ever give rise to, "I wish some rando guy would call them out!"
wellladeedaa
This mentality obscures the everyday interactions of marginalized people. You gave the guy benefit of the doubt because he was "calling out"
wellladeedaa
kinda like the, "gotta make fun of everyone" attitude. But you also condemned the couple because...they did something different than you.
mcshady
Where, exactly, did I 'condemn' this couple??
wellladeedaa
You obviously saw the aftermath and realized your assessment wrong. But what happens the next time? Who gets the benefit of the doubt?
PwnageHobo
First I'll confirm that you're filming, then I'll jump in with some homophobic remarks, before pivoting to racism. Let's sprinkle in a slur

It’s more than a sprinkle.. the linked article said he spit on them ( don’t think this was on video though )

...Then I'll finish it off with some intimidation and threats so I can go to jail even longer. This guy is an asshole and an idiot.

DustyMcKnuckles
Ah! Thats why he was so excitable after the korean kid made the homosexual remark...
Wylf
The homophobia is the weirdest thing to me. "A guy and a gal, sitting together, CLEARLY they're gay!" Wat... Like, the racism is utterly (1)

reprehensible and terrifying, but the train of thought to reach "yup, gay" is just plain... incredibly weird. (2/2)

You don't even have to be violent. Just stand in the way. Stand up and start talking to the kids and ignore the asshole.

Gingerwithsomesoul
Saw the guys pic, looks middle eastern, they have a beef with Asians or just everyone that isn't them?

I've never been targeted by middle eastern Americans. I've even dated 2 Arabs and 1 Persian, no problem.

What i don't get is, the two already stated they are Korean, but the racist dude makes remarks about Filipinos.

Racism and stupidity go hand in hand. Big chance he was also trying to get a rise outta the guy and start a fight.

You're applying rational thinking when this guy doesn't have any. Can't aplly reason when dealing with the unreasonable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

to be fair, the level of education involved indicates this to likely be a sincere lack of knowledge and comprehension.
AuntieCoddswaddle
Racists don't care. They want to bully and race is the excuse.

The nature of racisim is not what YOU ARE, but that you are not what I AM. Thus Korean, Thai, Filipino etc are all not ME so r 2nd class.
Emjayen
This is the correct answer; it's "how dare these non-whites get uppity with me"
FacetMonkey
Beyond the anti-flavor of the year racism, I looked up why Filipinos were mentioned. It's pretty ingrained politically in the USA apparently
FacetMonkey
I searched for "anti Filipino sentiment", specifically in the United States. It had to do with stealing American jobs. Sadly, nothing new.

For a time, it was illegal for white women to date Filipino men.

I live in a much less diverse place than anywhere in CA, so I'm realizing these weird racist interactions are something I've just normalized

Racists aren't looking to actually make sense, don't worry about trying to rationalize it.

Koreans don't like to be called Filipinos. There's a slight chance that lunatic was stationed in Korea. Or is just a fucking idiot.

Why not?
VaultGirl69
Mostly older generation, or stupid people, like to use racism as insults.This literally happens in every country. Stupid people everywhere.

There are a LOT of different ethnic groups in Asia. Not just "Asian". Also a lot of countries, who have all beaten the piss out of each-
msd3k
-other at some point, and have very strong opinions about each other. And also, pretty much nobody likes being incorrectly identified.
fennecbutt
What you're trying to say is that some Asian ethnicities are racist towards others for historical reasons. Still racism.
UnhelpfulMoth
Because Koreans are racist af and see Southeast Asians as below them.
VaultGirl69
Generalizing all Koreans as racist isn't nice or accurate.
VaultGirl69
The older generation is. A lot like when it comes to some Americans interacting with any Hispanics. Or just like that.
VaultGirl69
I'm Korean-American and have Filipino friends. Some Koreans look down on them like some Americans look down on Hispanic people.
IAmNotNSAsodonotbeparanoid
So racism?
VaultGirl69
Why are you asking? Yeah, some people are racists. That's a stupid question.

That's no excuse for a dude to approach two strangers he's never spoken to and spout racial slurs and spit on them.

All the Asians that jumped on the bandwagon, as evidenced above you can tell racists you’re not the race they’re against and they won’t give

A crap. They just want an outlet for their hate and to blame all their problems on the other because why would the source of their problems
HeywouldJablowme
The problem with our society is when bigots act like this, the people they're attacking don't jump out of their chairs and beat them 2 death
Fishkeeper
Sadly, that would turn them into martyrs for the other bigots, who would then yell about "see! we told you [group we're attacking] is bad!"

In a coffee shop, a guy started berating the Chinese staff. He turned to me and said "So I'm the asshole here?" so I just said "YUP" loudly.
RideTheStimutacs
He was angry about "immigrants charging hidden fees". The "hidden" fees were, get this: sales tax, and the government-mandated cup fee.

He called me a prick, so I kept dunking on him until he left. Unfortunately the shop waived his "fees" just to be nice, but they thanked me.

SadEyedLadyoftheLowlands
So I usually act like I know the people/person - bonus points if you add some crazy accolade. But this usually works just by being present.

"hey OMG I just saw you guys! How are you?! Oh I'm sorry, am I interrupting?"

You could just beat the crap out of him.

Don't engage with the aggressor, engage with the victims, talk to them about anything but the attack/behaviour. Aim to derail .
DustyMcKnuckles
Put yourself between the aggressor and the victim. Engage the victim in jovial conversation. If fuckwit targets my dumbass, all bets are off
a0b1
This works for me, but i am 6'6 and generally grumpy looking. Do not recommended if you look like the agressor could just ignore you
DustyMcKnuckles
Its about bearing too. Dont gotta be a big dude to have a powerful presence. Im 5'9" and I've shut out ass hats like that aggressor as such.
a0b1
True, but i dont even have to shout or talk
Clarysage
I think I'd just walk up loud and cheerful to the couple and be like 'hey, whatcha eating? How you doing?" And try to ignore the racist.
CuileannDhu
I find that a loud assertive "Hey! What's going on here? Did you just..........?" usually works to get things like this to stop.
Rhewin
Yeah, and how often is that? I’m not about to challenge and aggressive unhinged person who potentially has a gun.
CuileannDhu
I'm not American, I'm not worried that everyone I encounter is armed with a gun.
jayman0123
This behavior in public is sickening,I absolutely will not speak up. I don't talk to Nazis. I punch them.
WeSurvived45
With so many people carrying, it doesn't matter. I would have called 911 in a discreet manner.
Eldis
Yeah the fuck's up with other people in that joint? I'm a small guy but behaviour like that warrants interruption, especially from the staff
RideTheStimutacs
He confronted them directly, so it doesn't seem like most people would've overheard. But the article says the staff did escort him outside.
AnApologeticCanadian
Im gonna be honest....I'd be fucking scared. Idk if someone like that us dangerous or not. I'm a short brown dude I'd be his next target.
ElSephiroth
Fighting I could get by, but in the US people have guns in the street. So I won't go to US to never find out ;)
fennecbutt
Same reason women generally stand by. I'm a small guy and I don't wanna get destroyed either. But if everyone works together it's not like
fennecbutt
This idiot is gonna fight a whole place full of people. Then again, maybe he would :/
Eldis
As other posters pointed out, that's in America and he's rather likely carrying a handgun.

A lot of places don't want you to intervene if someone doesn't complain to you.

nvm, that's a weak excuse. all I have to do is ask at that point.
pianostacatto
Most people ought to learn from dogs. That size doesn't matter. Most people ought to also learn that offenders rather not get into a scuffle
fennecbutt
Lmao size does matter and as a small guy I understand why many women get worried too. And as a man I understand that if I do what he did in
fennecbutt
The video, it's a challenge and will result in a fight. That's unfortunately our biological reality.
ancalime
I'm trying! I already eat my own poop and hump everything but there's just too much to learn!
Kaleopolitus
1. Dogs don't have guns. Idiots in the USA -do- have guns. It's easy math. Look, I'll happily stand up for what is right where I live, but
ancalime
2. I can't afford to buy guns for all these dogs, I'm only one man!
Kaleopolitus
2. in the USA I will put my head down and save my own life first. I'm not getting shot or stabbed trying to fix their terrible culture.
darthnerdus6236
Minimum wage doesn't cover that. That's way beyond the staff's duty.
JustAnotherCynicToo
Yeah, but if I'm not paid enough to tolerate it I'm kicking a MoFo out.
Rhewin
It’s easy to imagine being tough on this behavior until your in the situation with a potentially dangerous and aggressive person.
JustAnotherCynicToo
That's why situational awareness is handy. "Does this person get a warning, or do I call the cops outright?"
exlurker42
Not only that policy will be against it because they don't want to be liable for their employee getting beat up.
darthnerdus6236
Beyond that, there's likely people of colour on staff who would literally step into a hate crime.
Superstzday
behavior like that warrants a

Put a pineapple on his kitchen counter, and eventually leave a pineapple in his locker at his place of work, just to fuck with him. 3/3

He was charged with a crime...

That was at least something.
TrappedInABubbleGumFactory
I’m sorry, but with the psychos in the US you’ve got a pretty solid chance of getting a gun in your face for getting involved.

They can't pull a gun if you brain them with a brick first.

Jokes on them I also carry a gun and I have an unhealthy desire for death lets go you racist bitch (not you personally)

Yes a perfectly normal response from someone that's allowed to have a gun. Merica fuck yeah ? (sarcasm)

BLACK HUMOR?! *police shooting begins*
textilelover
Saying something like "I'm calling the cops, you'd better go" is unlikely to result in that, particularly if you say it from a distance.
jscuster
Pretty sure this chucklefuck would just respond with “go ahead and call them, I’m white and you’re not”.
textilelover
So you call them. And you stand there and make sure you bear witness. Don't just walk away like it's not your problem.
Emjayen
This is why they carry guns in the first place -- they're cowards who are terrified of being confronted on their behavior.

And some states give them a stand-your-ground defense for conflict they've initiated. In every scenario, Republicans find the objectively

worst option. They exist to make government as bad as possible because their voter base are all pants-shitting imbeciles.
jerkittoanything
Republicans wouldn't be opposed to hunting anyone non white, or a poor white person, for sport.
CocoPuppyFlyer
This is not true

That's not what stand your ground means. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0700-0799/0776/Sections/
CocoPuppyFlyer
Also, you cant shoot someone and claim self defense if you initiated the conflict
JustAlex94
It's very true. Why cameras so important so you have enough evidence to prove they started the confrontation first. Cops hate cameras.
