Storytime: Yelled at a old racist white guy who wanted to fight me and outran him much to his frustration.
Still shaking somewhat. Need to unload.
I'm of Sri Lankan descent, westernised and based in Sydney Australia. Doesn't matter to these people as we're all the same.
Was walking home peacefully in my neighbourhood from the gym. Walked by these two old white men roughly in their 70's-80's in conversation, heard one of them say out loud "waste of tax dollars". As if to insinuate that I'm of the stereotype that I'm here to steal the jobs. Trust me, I'm having a tough time on that front.
Mind you, there's a particular political party on the rise here that's been preaching Trump like ideas and leveraging incidents like the Bondi Beach massacre and other incidents. There's even a recent story of high school students taking the day off school to protest in the main city area.
So in my frustration at life, this racism that's been on the rise here in general, I give him the finger, yelled profanity, stood a few hundred meters away to watch these assholes as if to egg him on and one of the dudes, who is the more mobile one tried to give chase to me and failed.
I'm in my mid 30's, and as I said, I've been going to the gym and I had a few hundred meters as a head start home. Ran ahead of him and lost him. No way the idiot was going to catch up to me.
