Recently I was thinking about my days back in school and I remembered some stupid shit that I'd like to share. But before I go into the stories I'm just gonna say, because the first story revolves around it, that I'm Hispanic.
Back when I was in 5th grade, I think, I was on the bus with my friend and we were talking and all of a sudden a little kid (he looked like he was in 1st grade) in the next seat called me a "Red Skin." I didn't know what was more sad, the fact he was incapable of telling the difference between a Hispanic and a Native American or the fact that he was so young and was already a bigot, well probably the latter (I would hate to meet his parents). Before I could say anything my friend (who isn't Hispanic, he's White) leaps up and says, "You little jackass! What the hell is your problem!? First of all he's Hispanic and secondly what the hell do you have against Native Americans!?"
By that time the bus driver came to the back and asked what was going on and we told her that that little kid was a racist and of course the kid denied it but luckily a girl and her friend sitting in front of us said that the kid was saying offensive things and so the kid got a detention. But then I said, "Oh yeah, that'll help him get over his stupidity. What this kid needs is to get his butt kicked numerous times!" And I got yelled at for that...
Now before the next story I need to say this, English is my only language and I don't have an accent. Also I had this problem when I was speaking that I would replace some of my Rs with Ws so every once in a while I'd sound like an idiot as my teachers made me feel. It just irritated them so much for some reason so they made me take "Special Classes" (that's what they called it. Yeah that made me feel good about myself...) to help me with this problem I had. They also didn't like that I was Left Handed or the way I held my pencil but it was the R thing that they hated the most. But eventually my mother found out in a Parent/Teacher Conference and asked me if I really wanted this and I told her that I hated it so she demanded that they stopped at once.
Man did they hate my mother, they hated that she would stand up for me and that she would point out that they were assholes and morons.
Anyway in 7th grade I would from time to time do that R/W thing and the people at the school actually thought I was German. I don't know what gave them that impression but that's what they thought.
In 3rd grade I got the Chickenpox and like any normal person I stayed home and a week after it had broke out my teachers were demanding that I come back to school but I really shouldn
