I'm the only black girl on a floor full of white sorority chicks b/c today's MLK day I heard one of the girls say she was dressing up as a rapper to celebrate MLK day and they were all laughing. I don't know why that bothers me but it really does am I overreacting??
No it's not overreacting. You should tell them to really think about the words that come out of their mouth, bc that's incredibly rude and ignorant. MLK is not about celebrating being a fucking rapper my God
I once had this sorority girl ask me "Are you a Cha-key-no?" I couldn't figure out what she was saying until my friend whispered "I think she means Chicano". I couldn't help it...I started laughing my ass off and the sorority chick got pissed off and walked away.
um no, that's way worthy of a tit-punch. I don't know that bringing it up with her would do much, though. Someone fucking stupid enough to say "mlk day? rap star costume!" probably isn't going to get it even after someone explains it.
*hugs*
And PS- to make you feel better, I'm Hispanic/Latino... And my friends call may 5th "Cinco de Drink-o" so I feel ya... *hug*
and no you are not overreacting
