Why did you even bother opening your mouth.

Why do people even bother opening up their mouths. Let alone say anything. The other day a friend of mine was telling me about her boyfriend. Now before I go into detail on that one lets take alittle stroll down memory lane. I met her boyfriend about a month or so ago and he seemed like a really nice guy. Koodos for me, I always wait and see until the guy opens up and shows his true colors before I make my mind on the person. Well, the first night I met him he had this tendency to open his mouth about his culture. Now I am not against people having pride for their culture. In any case I think it is really healthy when it is kept to a minimum. But when someone bluntly states that their culture is better than all others (related) to their culture well... lets just say a pissing war will ensue.

Ok, so her boyfriend is Brazilian. I don't have anything against their people, and in any case I believe alot of them to be very sexy (heh). But infront of another person who is spanish, sas that your people (brazilians) are better than other people in every way shape or form... kinda makes you an asshole. IF YOU LIKE YOUR COUNTRY SO MUCH WHY THE FUCK DID YOU LEAVE! So I figured he was either a racist or he was out trying to prove something in himself. It came clear to me after she told him she dated her friend (whos she's been friends with for over 9 yrs) is a mexican he got embarresed. I found out that the reason why he was embaressed is because hes mexican and he doesn't like mexicans (go figure). Everything came in place when I went out with her, her mexican friend, and her boyfriend. They both wouldn't talk to each other. Come to also find out that her mexican friend is jelious of the boyfriend because he wants her and doesn't really know how to tell her.

Anyway, her boyfriend is not only jelious but also a racist. Thank god my friend (the girl) is part portuguese (hes also half). I like the guy but I just think that he has ALOT of growing up to do. I also believe he is trying to prove to himself that he loves his culture when really, I don't think he likes being hispanic. I just find it sad that we have people out there who are racist against their own people (latino's in general). Hopefully she can sit both of them down and talk it out but it doesn't seem that way. My friend is the kind of girl who will hear the negatives and try to work with them rather than talk it out. Plus she falls in love wayyyy too quickly (like in one week or less).

Hopefully, she will come to understand that love takes time. And at 25, all I can do is hope.
