Hey Pandas, What Is The Most Sexist, Racist, Or Homophobic Thing You’ve Seen Recently? (Closed)

I took self defense class with only boys. I was the youngest and shortest One boy said, "why is there a girl here, girls can't hit". After he said that, I smacked him hard, it made a mark on his face

My uncle told a black person on Facebook to "go pick [him] some cotton". My dad called him out, and an argument ensued that hasn't been solved yet. It's been over a year and my family is starting to split into two factions.

Not fun.

Woman being able to hit men with no consequences but if a man hits her back, the man is crucified and painted as a horrible person.

I will go first.I found out that Instagram thinks my mum is a boy BECAUSE SHE FOLLOWS WEIGHT LIFTERS!

In our country people "protest" against LGBTQ because they're "destroying the fabric of our society."

I'm a female chef. I've been harassed a lot in male-dominated kitchens.

My sister reunited with 7 girls at her school that have been sexually harassed by a teacher to report him. He got fired, but later one of the girls stepped back and denied everything she told to the staff (probably family influence), my father thought it was my sister’s fault for being too “nosy” and that she should have told only her part, threatened to take her out of school. Principal told to sister that “it was not a big deal”, sure, he didn’t rape one of them...yet. This is the problem, not yet.

The constant "not all men" when misogyny etc is discussed. And using blatant misandry to try to "make right" said misogyny is also just so wrong. These two points end up being all that is discussed, and so we all get nowhere, while the resentment builds

this kid i was friends with found out i was gay and then blocked me... 😀

My best friend's husband who still says "That's Gay" to anything he deems "not manly". trash.

Seeing all the racism against Asians has been very disheartening. I am Chinese-American. Supposedly the racism is suddenly fueld by the pandemic, but just because it was discovered in China does not mean you can just point a finger at all of us and release all of your anger on us.

I work in commission based customer service. One of my coworkers is from the Dominican Republic. She speaks very good English but still has a bit of an accent and not by any means difficult to understand.

She started to help a customer and after 15 or so minutes they decided they didn't want to work with her any more because of her accent and just kind of left her hanging and came to talk to me.

I don't play that so I kept referring them back to her as friendly as possible but inside I was fuming. Super disrespectful

What about ableism? My sister said it was stupid to mandate masks because we're "just protecting the weak". She has rheumatoid arthritis. SMH

It wasn’t a sex, racist, or homophobic thing. But my boss had a fellow Christian friend working for him. I’m an atheist. I presented facts upon facts of dishonesty and poor work performance that was always disregarded. Recently found out the boss believed the Christian by his word, because he is a man of god. The boss didn’t think an atheist has morals, hence, I am the liar, even though I had reports of proof. Now, I am cleaning up months of work that didn’t get done.

Not recent but about 5 years ago.

I was working as a department lead at a sports store speaking with my African American female coworker about where to put freight.

And older white man walks up to us both. Coworker greets the gentleman and asks how she can help. He proceeds to disregard her and asks me for help with something. Without hesitation I advise him that she will help him and walk away.

Knowing my coworker she's a strong-willed woman and can handle herself otherwise I wouldn't have left her like that 😅

2020-2021 have been horrible years. So many hate crimes. So much death. ):

Just a few days ago, I was returning home from a job interview and I saw a bumper sticker on another person’s car that had a photo of a truck running over stick figures and it said “All Lives Splatter. I don’t care about your protest.”

To the person whose car that was on... do better.

This one isn't necessarily recent but a while back there was this kid in my class named cole, who stared forward into space a lot during class. Because a male kid sat in front of him, of course he was labeled as gay. I don't know if he was or not, the larger issue is that it meant no one would sit by him, everyone made fun of him, and they would freak out whenever he was remotely near. The thing that INFURIATES ME is that one of the kids who was bullying him HAD TWO MOMS and all of her friends were too. I have two moms as well, and ended up being LITERALLY THE ONLY KID WHO STOOD UP FOR COLE.

Some kids at my school were so bored and stupid they held a “Anti gay protest” at the gate

I'm a girl, and some people think that it is weird that I like the color red. I know that people think that girls should like pink, but pink is a lighter shade of red, so they don't know what they are talking about.
