I really love when strangers snark at me to learn English when I switch to my native tongue for any reason.

Sure, random person in the grocery store, for your comfort I will hold this private conversation with a Romanian in English so that you can understand, but she can't. Maybe learn to mind your business instead.

Apparently I should start having all my private phone calls on facetime so that other people can complain they don't understand us.

I knew people could be rude, like stupidly rude, but I wasn't aware that they liked to interject on everything.

Don't you know everyone has an opinion on everything?

Wanted or not, some people just got to tell you.

I think that's what was most startling. I got a call in the grocery store, and since it's long distance I wasn't going to ask them to call me back.

It's like they don't understand that this country doesn't have an official language as it is, but because they don't understand something it's wrong.

That's right, they don't understand.

America is just a melting pot from all places over the world.

Apparently not to nosy, busy bodies with nothing but time on their hands to interject in other peoples lives. It made me realise I usually make a conscious effort to hide my accent.

You shouldn't have to, that's the thing.

Which is true, but sadly maybe not yet the norm.

If it will ever be the norm.

I'm sorry you have to go through all of that.

I doubt it.

It's... not the worst. Not even just in this country. Just jarring.

Still, I'm sorry.

I can't control what people do, but I know what a kind soul you are so I can apologize for their actions cause they are missing out on you.

I feel like those are the kind of people it's good to know who they are. That way they don't end up in your social circle, right?

I’m sorry you had to experience that. Some people need to be reminded of basic manners.

I think those people in particular never learned basic manners to start with.

It's stupid disappointing, how people are so rude. I hope it didn't upset you too much?

Disappointing is a good way to put it. I suppose you come to expect too much of everyone sometimes. No, a little but not too much.

It’s not expecting too much for people to be decent human beings and not ignorant jerks.

Maybe it's just better not to expect people to be decent at all. Then it's a nice surprise when they are.

Maybe, but that’s not a good way to live, just always expecting people to let you down :(

Tragically, I've gotten very used to that. At home it was very similar, to the point where my parents tried to assimilate to shield my brother and I from it.

Throw in ignorance too, since they didn't even know what language I was speaking.

It's a joke really. What rights do they even have to judge you.

I suppose xenophobia doesn't really have any kind of logic behind it. It's not as if it's a fear of clowns. That one I can logic out.

You have it point, it really doesn't. A lot of people say it based on one is raised. You learn hate/fear before you truly know what it is.

It feels right. Babies don't know colour or bigotry. Hopefully, with how the world is progressing, society will change with the new generations.

It's what I hope for. At least. A future where... I don't know. It's just better, maybe.

Obviously I should use the non-native speaking supermarket from now on, or just not speak.
