Making Friends On The Platform

Hey, the bus came on time today. That was nice.

Just one thing of note this morning: There were a couple of Asian women on the platform at Malden Center speaking in their native tongue. I am not sure what it was as I am not familiar with any language outside of English and some of the European languages (Spanish, French, German, and Italian...maybe Lithuanian).

I was standing near this couple when this other man walked up to them and said something to the effect of "Go back to China" or something like that and he walked away.

The women, looking nonplussed, stopped chatting for a moment and then continued after the man walked away.

You don't win friends with salad and you can't make friends with ignorance either.

You should report or beat up the racist pig. Behavior like that is intolerable.
