Have you ever caught someone talking about you in another language? 😲😳

I pressed the button for floor thirteen. The only other occupants of the lift were two cute girls, who were talking to each other in a highly fake American accent. At the fifth floor, the lift stopped, the door opened, and I was surprised to see an African man standing in front of us. True, Delhi is a favorite destination for international tourists, but people of African origin are still a rare sight. The lift was again on its way. I turned my attention back to the girls. Suddenly, one of them started signaling the other, making big round eyes, first pointing towards her, then towards the African guy. For an instant, the second girl seemed confused, but then she realized what her friend was trying to point out, and both of them burst into silent giggles. I felt really bad for the African guy, who seemed strangely calm. He didn’t seem to mind at all. Emboldened by this, the two girls began talking loudly, but this time, they switched to Hindi. "He’s so ugly, this Blackie!" "Yep, you’re right. Look at his hair. Looks like his head is covered with curly grass." At this, both of them started laughing again with tears in their eyes. "How can somebody have such an ugly face!" I was really embarrassed. Was this my incredible India? The lift stopped. The African guy adjusted his backpack and proceeded to step out. Then suddenly, he turned around, and in impeccable Hindi, said, "It’s better to have an ugly face than an ugly heart!" And then, he was gone. The expression of utter shame and embarrassment on the girls' faces, turning red with rage and humiliation, is something I still cherish to this day.

I caught my friend talking about me in our own language, but she thought she was muted. Two-faced people don't need to speak a different language to be trash.

as a lightly darker brown indian who lives in north india, indians dont hesitate to comment on skin. the fact that we have faced so SO much racism and now a lot of indians think its okay to do that. like, fuck. it hurts.

It speaks volumes how he didnt speak back in the language (since he understood it) and tell them to stop but like props to bro (the other man) for having his composure the entire time ❤

This is a huge issue in Asian countries tbh. They view darker skin as dirty. This shouldn't be acceptful behavior.

They didn’t feel shame because of what they did, they felt shame because they were caught

A buddy of mine was on holiday in Spain some 30 years ago. He encountered a German couple, who were very friendly, but chose to shit talk him in front of him, but in German. He let this continue for and entire week before replying in perfect German “You should make sure the person you’re talking about doesn’t speak your language”. Their jaws hit the floor.

This has happened to me a lot with spanish. My mom is mexican and my dad is black but i don't really look mixed. Spanish is my first language and spanish speaking people can be very racist.

"you know I can understand your language perfectly right" is my favorite genre of comeback.

I got smth abt this, 3 girls kept gossiping about me in English when we were about 8, little did they know I’d been learning English since I was 2/3 and could speak it perfectly fluently, more fluent than my own language, they didn’t know I could speak and understand English, so when they did it again at the last day of school I just said “Thank you” the look on their faces was priceless

I go to a dance school where most of the teachers speak Russian but most of the students speak English. It's pretty common for me to be sitting in the studio and overhear mine and my classmates' names in their conversations. To this day I have no clue what they're talking about
