Ignorant Behavior

Poetry

My experience riding the max in Portland, OR. Racism is alive and well. Don't always believe that racism is dead. This country may be called the "melting pot" but that doesn't mean everyone is accepted.

I'm not offended that you guessed my race wrong.

I'm offended that you had the nerve to question my citizenship.

I'm not offended that you spoke to me in Spanish.

I'm offended that you questioned my ability to speak English with a smirk on your face.

I'm not offended that you are an office.

I'm offended that you would abuse your authority to question me about my Status in this Country.

I'm offended by your ignorance.

I'm offended by your disrespect to the citizens of Oregon.
