Sharon Smith+FollowMy Sweet, Swear-Free Mom Just Told a Racist to Go F* Himself on the Boston SubwaySo my mom is this amazing 50-year-old Asian lady who looks way younger than she is. She’s the kind of person who spends her days watching soap operas, cleaning, and chatting with her church friends. She’s gentle—never once swore in her life, not in English or our language. She doesn’t even like Gordon Ramsey because he curses too much. That’s why what happened last week left me speechless. We were on a packed subway here in Boston when this drunk guy started going off about immigrants and politics. He was loud and aggressive. Then he turned to my mom—who was just sitting quietly—and called her a spy, said she didn’t belong here, didn’t bother learning English… just pure hate. My mom stayed calm the whole time, even held my arm when I tried to say something. But when we got to our stop, she stood up, looked him right in the eye, and said in her cute accent: “Go back to f*** your daddy.” I’ve never seen someone’s jaw actually drop. Turns out she picked it up from “some kids at work.” She said curses aren’t that different in any language, then immediately started talking about bok choy like nothing happened. #MomWins #BostonLife #ImmigrantStory #UnexpectedResults #FamilyStories #Motherhood #Racism 4522270Share
