Kinkos

So me & my boyfriend went to Kinko's today.. well actually tonight. I found these little Spanish cheat sheets that I thought would help me out in Spanish class. Well, I figured since I didn't want to pay 6.95 for these small little laminated sheets (you know what I'm talking about, they're everywhere, and they always have little facts on things you want to learn) so I told him to just copy it since, hey, we're in a building full of copy machines. Right when he puts the sheet in, a worker comes over and scolds us on how we're not supposed to do that and that's why they sell them. The only thing I'm wondering is where in the world did this old woman come from? Well, my boyfriend said she was staring had been staring at us since the moment I walked in behind him and wrapped my arms around him. He became extremely upset. Which is understandable since, we haven't before, but we're starting to notice the many people that seem to have a problem with our relationship. To us it's like honestly get over it. I'm black, he's white (well half and half Hispanic), on the inside we are two humans that have a major attraction to one another and our race does not matter. I love him for him, he loves me for me. We had went to Knott's one day, and while we were walking holding hands an old man sitting on a nearby bench jerked forward immediately and stared at my boyfriend with so much hatred in his eyes it shocked me. Jokingly I said, "Babe, I think you did something to him he looks angry," and he replied "Oh, I was hoping you didn't see that. He's mad because..." He didn't finish; he didn't have to. We both knew why the guy looked angry but that honestly didn't put a damper on our day, just turned into an interesting story for me to tell. There's been more situations, a bit smaller. Like a group of kids sitting in Jack in the Box that were chattering to one another and immediately stop when they see my boyfriend grab my hand to walk me out; or a girl at the mall who puts on a stank face when she's sees us walk in with our arms around each other. I just think its really sad when people have this type of prejudice in their hearts and cannot just see a happy couple.
