    when i was a kid, i'd go shopping with my grandmother sometimes and be subject to assholes making a big deal about her polish accent. they would repeat what she'd say right back, in a condescending tone, as if she we're mentally retarded, and i remember thinking "this lady was a war hero with a degree in cardiology, while your mcdonald's-job-having, lazy ass is trying to belittle her, in front of her family?!". sorry to rant, but that shit drives me crazy too.

    you wanna call out your boss?
    you wanna keep your job?

    december 30th is my last day, so it really wouldn't make much of a difference in that respect. i think an argument could just add fuel to the fire in a way as dudes don't like me much as it is. they'd be happy to disagree with the peon.

    my Japanese co-workers are racist too! matter of fact, a lot of Japanese think they're better than other Asians.

    Also the term "gaijin" is written in Chinese characters as "outside people".
    The term is widely used among Japanese to mean foreigners.

    I've heard plenty of mockery of mexicans, blacks, koreans, etc. Also characterizing Americans as a whole as "lazy, lacking in any sophistication" yada yada.

    so one day i decided to speak to my supervisor because it bothered me, she completely understood.

    In the 80's I had a Japanese co-worker that always called me by an insulting slang word for us gringos...."Howlee"(sic)...I knew it was an insult but never let it bother me...

    Then one day I said..."Don't think I don't know what you're calling me"....she was very embarrassed and said...."Oh, it doesn't mean what you think".... I said "Oh, It doesn't mean the white guy with the big dick".....she ran out of the room and never spoke to me again...she left about a month later.

    haole - A word used mainly in Hawaii to describe a white person. Depending on how you say it, the word can mean either an insult or just a fact[/b].

    Pay special attention to the tone the word is said in.





    maybe she was just scared off by your 'big white dick' comment?

    Haole. It's literal meaning is "person without breath." The Hawaiians called Captain Cook and his crew that when they arrived because they thought they were gods/immortal aka "without breath." It is used as slang for Caucasian now and it can be an insult; depending on the context. Do the knowledge before passing judgement, thanks.

    What the word "haole" means. Your co-worker was not being insulting, you caught feelings over some small shit, incorrectly assumed the meaning of a word, and made a huge situation over something you did not understand. In this this very thread, you have demonstrated your ignorance by not incorrectly spelling the word you find insulting and you were unable to give a definition beyond "don't think I don't know what that means." That is why you are ignorant.

    Brian,

    it could've been used, from my understanding at least, in a regular OR derogatory manner. i was just saying it was possible she didn't mean anything by it, but the opposite is a possibility as well.

    BOY... IF THERE'S ONE THING A WHITE MAN HATES MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE... BEING CALLED A RACIST!

    ... which someone could determine by asking the person instead of confronting them in a negative manner. Especially when you don't even know what the person is saying to you.

    Not knowing how to spell an insult is ignorant??? I believe that's why I put(sic)...If you read my post you'll see that it DIDN'T bother me and I let it slide for a long time....it was only after her HUSBAND(who was caucasion) told me the word was a "slang word for a caucasion, like Gringo or Cracker" did I know what it was. And by the tone of it beintg used I realized it was not flattering and decided to have some fun with her.

    Tell me ol' wise one....who uses this word today in a context where it's NOT an insult.
