I also hate it when people find out that I’m Muslim, they question me because of my appearance! They’re like “really” or “you’re lying”

The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Just live your life girl, if I could go back to when I was in highschool, I would just not give a shit about what people had to say about me and my ethnicity because I’m proud of being a Filipina. Like it’s such a beautiful country with great food as well haha

The number one most disturbing and uncomfortable thing I have ever had to deal with in my profession is older men saying “Oh, I get the young pretty nurse to help me today”
Excuse me, how bloody insulting is that. Yes, it is my duty as your nurse to help you get dressed and washed if you are physically incapable of doing it yourself; but don’t you dare make my job feel like a sexual favour to you.

As much as my job is rewarding, there isn’t a shift that goes by where I don’t feel violated or repulsed by some of the things patients and their families say to us nurses.

And why are nurses still seen as “sexy”? have you SEEN what the uniforms really look like? Have you SEEn what we look like after a 13 hour shift? It is not a pretty sight whatsoever.

Thanks for letting me rant :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

We’re Latino, thus we’re Mexican. No, no, no! Latin America is broad and composed of countries, like Peru, Puerto Rico, Brazil, the Dominican Republic and so on. Though Mexico is beautiful, we come from different places, too.

And only because a person speaks Spanish doesn’t mean thier an illegal immigrant. Especially when they say go back to your country. Ah mijo I am in my country.

I have a lot that drive me crazy. Where do even I start

  1. I hate the double standard kind of stereotype. Things like “Boys don’t cry, man up!” or assuming a girl is “overreacting” or that she’s on her period when she’s actually upset. It’s just dumb.

  2. And I hate all racial stereotypes. Telling a black woman that her hair “isn’t real” or assume that they “don’t love themselves” when they’re simply just rocking pretty hairstyles or that “ALL ASIANS ARE SMART” “WHITE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO DANCE” etc just grinds my gears.

  3. when people assume that those who are heavily tattooed and wear black all the time are “bad people” and “might give a bad influence”, “goths are depressed” “people with dyed hair are tacky” etc.

  4. When adults say, “YOU’RE NOT DEPRESSED YOU’RE JUST A TEENAGER WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH IS A PHASE” and blame it on the hormones. Lmao

  5. Omigosh the LGBT stereotypes. Don’t get me started! it pisses me off how people have the audacity to say that gay people are “just going through a phase”, that lgirls who are feminine can’t be gay”, when a support character who’s part of the community is in love with a straight friend, OR WHEN THEY THINK A LESBIAN/GAY/BI PERSON CRUSHES ON EVERY SAME GENDER PERSON THEY MEET.

Yeah I admit, I have a lot to complain about but you know
