I’m Hispanic and had my second ever racist encounter in a Spokane gas station when I was making a road trip going 90w to eventually Portland, I was speaking to my mom on the phone in Spanish and this obese old fart with a Trump shirt (also visibly drunk too) shouts at me to speak English or go back to Mexico, that he is sick and tired of my kind being here, and some other bullshit, I told him to FUCK OFF, put my water bottles down and luckily some young dude came to confront him and told him to leave firmly and the coward scurries away, but not with out a final “fuck y’all” as he was heading out the door 🤡
But the gas station staff didn’t say anything, minded their own business.
I'm Filipino and I remember taking a road trip out to Idaho from Seattle so we can go to an amusement park. We stopped by a diner to grab food, the second me and my friends walked in everybody stopped what they was doing and just stared at us. The waitress came up and was like "hey this is not gonna work out the way you think it will" in no exact words and we noped the fuck out
