Racial stereotypes for women?
Question by seliny19: Racial stereotypes for women?
Before anyone even assumes this. No I’m not a troll. Anywho, I had a very interesting experience today. I was buying a latte at Starbucks on my way to work. And the cashier who happened to be a woman as well, asked me as she was handing me my change: Don’t mean to be rude, but have you had breast implants? My response was simply a hilarious fit of laughter. The ridiculousity, of her statement and ignorance was just hilarious. Now my question is: Why are women so delightfully cruel to each other? While we scream for gender equality and have made great leaps in that area… We’re still at square ONE when it comes to the equality we show for our fellow women.
Why are some women like that? Shouldn’t we treat each other with respect and understanding first? Now, being asian, weighing only 110 pounds, and standing at an imposing height of 5′1. I can understand if someone would be confused with a tiny girl having large breasts she never wanted or asked for. But going as far as to asking if someone’s had breast implants is just ludicrous regardless of their race.
At my work a lot of my fellow female workers are always very catty. Plenty of them always make snide remarks about how the African American women employees large backsides and breasts are from all the “nasty, greasy KFC they consume”. I’ve also had to hear and endure cruel comments about how the Latina employees are just dirty, ugly, hairy, baby machines. And then in retaliation the African American and Latina ladies will say scathing racist remarks about the female Caucasian employees. Being the youngest I’m always overlooked and ignored. Which I don’t mind. I prefer avoiding trouble. But everday I have to listen and hear the rude, racist, and negative comments about this or that. And it gets really tiring. And I can’t quit a job that I enjoy just after two months
So why are some women like that? Why do they bring each other down and tear through pne another?? Shouldn’t we be doing the exact opposite by sticking up for each other and supporting one another??

We envy each other too much. No matter how good we have it,we look for something to be jealous about when it comes to other women. Some of the comments you heard those other women make were pure racism. We should be more supportive of each other,but the catty ones aren’t interested in friendship and support.
