@@ayyylmao101 YAAAS! I can hear but my 2 siblings are deaf and hard of hearing. Once my family and I were at the local Renaissance festival and my brother was wearing a homemade costume so it wasn't AMAZING but we go for fun and we're poor so ya know beggars can't be choosers, anyways this guy and girl to our left, slightly behind us, began talking crap about his costume. I think they thought he AND I were both deaf since we were signing. I was about to turn around and talk some small smack but my hard of hearing sister who isn't an introvert like me, just turned around and began yelling at them. It was honestly absolutely hilarious seeing these two people get yelled at in broken english by a hearing impaired girl in front of a massive crowd. My sister was absolutely furious and my mom had to get her to stop lol. (My sister is not a push over kind of girl very muscular sports player she has a bigger than big attitude). They ended up quietly apologizing and slinking to the back of the line. (We were at the gates 15min early and the 3 gates hadn't been opened yet so it was a messy crowded lineish wait).

Yup and they are like the best profilers too! They use a lot of expressions conveyed in sign language. Reading lips, becomes a habit for them. So, they could tell easily whose talking about them within there line of sight if deaf. If mute well, they can hear everything. Also, if you don't know sign language they can trash talk about you too and make it look like they aren't talking about you. 🤣

Can we go there?” Because we were hanging out in the area where I live. So we go there and we’re just looking through stuff you know, as you usually do in a store. But then I see two kids, I assumed they were siblings because they looked pretty similar. So it was one older sister and a younger brother. I didn’t really pay attention to them until I realized that they were speaking Finnish, but like, really broken Finnish. Like you know how some bilingual people tend to speak one of the languages in the other languages accent? It wasn’t even like that. And it literally hurt my ears to listen to that like it sounded like they were speaking Swedish..but Finnish. Anyways, while they stand there looking through stuff behind us the brother goes “hey you see the shorter one over there? What the hell is up with that haircut she looks like a blonde version of Dora” but like that grammar was so off I almost didn’t understand what he was saying, but I understood enough to be offended. So I turn around, and say IN FINNISH “If you’re going to roast me at least do it so that I can get offended properly without having to guess what you were trying to say” The sister was literally death staring her brother and then she said sorry really quietly and then they both just went out lol

I‘m Japanese but have been living in Durban, South Africa for over 10 years and have been attending Afrikaans school. One summer me and my family took a trip to Cape Town and there we were at a famous restaurant for lunch. It was pretty busy, but we got our seats and were waiting to be served, after a while the server did come and get our drinks and didn’t return for a while. It took quite a bit so I went to use the restroom and I heard my server and another talking about the “Asian table” and that they can prioritize the locals since Asians don’t tip. I didn’t say anything at the time, but when I went back to my seat I told my family what I heard. My dad is Japanese, but grew up in Amsterdam, my mother also went to university in France and thus are very proficient in languages and my family as a whole speak Afrikaans. When the server came and asked us in English what we wanted, we all took turns speaking in Afrikaans and ordered our food. The look on his face and the stammering was pretty funny to see.

The one I was the most satisfied was in middle school. It was a french school in Morocco. At that time I knew how to speak french, english and a little of portuguese. I was pretty good at learning new language, but I cant learn new alphabet, which is why even now, I cant speak/read/write arabic, I just know the basic. It was a day where all family could come to see a presentation of their kids/siblings. It was mostly dance but since im suck at that I would just explain why sleep is important and the effect it has in our entire lives. (also I was wearing a grudge outfit with my chains, shockers, rings...) So there was the family of a girl (layla) that I just couldnt stand (she wasnt mean just super annoying). So her older sis started saying "look at her, where does she think she is, dressing like that." In english with an insult in arabic. Her mother says "dont say it like that, its mother could understand and we would be in a bad situation. But otherwise you're right, what does it plan to do ? You're not friends with it right ? I dont want it to be a bad example for you" and she said all that in portuguese. I started laughing and said "dont worry, my plan is certainly not hanging out with your dauther. Also, I would like to thank you, for respecting my pronous. My mother is not here to put you in whatever 'bad situation' you're speaking of, do not worry about that. I'm really sorry now, but I need to go do my presentation, since thatd what I plan on doing" in english with a smile.

[@alwaysfallingshort]

I am disabled, and visited Japan in highschool as part of a sister-cities program. I had already been into Japanese culture (and no, not even Anime) so I'd taken Japanese and could speak it a bit. When I got to Japan, being immersed for only a few days, I became incredibly capable of understanding it. As I mentioned, I use a wheelchair. Japan is not a very accessible place, and disabled people are often kept at home. My host family was very westernized, and explained some of this to me. We went to one traditional tea house and the younger waitress who helped me into the side door was very polite in English, but admonished my host father, saying "Why did you bring this lame gaijin here when you know we don't have the facilities for it? How irresponsible. What a burden." I responded in broken Japanese "Apologies if I burdened you, I want to show respect for the host." She turned beat red and bowed incredibly low and apologized in English and in Japanese over and over and over again. She waited on me hand and foot after that and wouldn't leave my side. This was 20+ years ago now, and I don't know what Japan is like now, but the presumption was that they treated their elders with respect, when the reality is that they treated elders and the disabled as liabilities, and the responsibility of the family. While I was there, the grocery store called and I was the only one nearby to answer, and they didn't have an answering machine. I took the call and even took notes writing in Japanese. The supermarket was calling to admonish my host father for letting his very elderly, but very lucid and even quite smart mother shop alone. That she was having trouble reading labels, and no son should burden the store with his problem like that. I kept thinking I wasn't understanding him correctly, that surely she must've been lost or something more serious, but she'd already left the store and was headed home and the supermarket employee was simply calling to complain about reading a label for an old woman. He realized I was American at the end of the call and said I spoke good Japanese and wanted to practice English, which was such a contrast to how outright rude he had just been about the very nice old woman asking for help reading ONE label. I loved Japan, but every culture has a lot of learning to do when it comes to treating the disabled with equity. Edit: I added a story down below about a positive experience I had as well.

[@hamsterpouches]

Since becoming disabled I've only been travelling within Europe (I'm from the UK) and it's a lot worse than here. And I'd say it's not great here. I hope Japan is better these days as I hope to go one day... Their perspective on disability from what you said is awful but also really interesting, it's not one I've heard before, about being the liability of the family. I hope shop owners etc learn to see that by taking the 'burden' of reading a label etc they're going to get more custom!

We had a similarly negative experience at a dollar shop and another at a train that wasn't accessible--they insisted it was since they had accessible stickers. I had a VERY positive experience while in Japan as well, when visiting a shrine. My host family was certain they wouldn't allow me to bring my wheelchair into the Temple because the Buddhists were very protective of people not dirting the temple. But when we arrived, it was by far the most accessible thing in japan. The monks had build a solid wood ramp all across one of the sides of the building where there's normally stairs leading up. When we got inside, they had me drive up onto blocks, then 3 men came out of a back room and washed my chair's wheels down vigorously, then powdered them and dusted them. They were so respectful and treated my chair like it was a part of me, silently and very gently turning the wheels. Then we went around the beautiful temple--but we reached a part where there were stairs up, and one of the Monks asked if he could carry me. I have dwarfism, so I am very small--but normally I HATE being carried by strangers. I decided to take a chance, and he so gingerly lifted me up, it felt like I was some kind of royalty. He brought me to places people don't normally get to go, and we even got to sit in a small room up in a tower, drink tea and practice Japanese/English together while my host family went up into a different tower that was identical but cramped. The Buddhists were so unbelievably caring with me and my assistive devices, and used words of respect and honor when referring to me. They were so nice and sweet and I've never felt more appreciated. I left like a 50 dollar tip :V, which for me was so much money. I think it's so important to mention both of these stories to communicate the extreme variation.

The friend then said to the consultant (she talked in front of my grandmomma because that idiot thought she couldn't understand English) to show her a cheap refrigerator so she could take the rest of the money. and course my grandmother was ANGRY because she understood what that idiot said and that's the last time my grandmomma talked to her lol

Here's my experience. So I went to a restaurant a few months ago and there were a lot of Italians there, me knowing Italian, I heard these 2 people making fun of my birthmark and they said "her birthmark is ugly it looks like old chocolate that was soaked in dirty water" I walked past them and in Italian I said "I'm glad you like chocolate, I like it too. Its delicious" them thinking a 15 year old Mexican girl cant speak Italian, they were shocked. A waiter heard and felt bad and gave me a treat of my choice which of course I chose chocolate cake. I found it funny

Ooh, I have such a good one!! Okay so this was at my old school in Taiwan, about a year ago. I was in the bathroom fixing my hair, and this group of girls comes in. The leader (or I assume she was) looks at me and goes “うわー、彼女はとても醜いです ! “ (Wow, she’s so ugly!) Natrually, the other girls laugh along, etc. I finish doing my hair, and right before I’m about to walk out of the bathroom, I reply “醜い性格とは異なり、少なくとも醜い顔を修正することができます。” (Unlike an ugly personality, you can at least fix an ugly face) The look on their faces was priceless. I’ll never forget it.

Lol. I was living in Croatia for a while. I was working in a coffee shop on my laptop, trying to figure out the best fonts to use for a project (I am a Graphic Designer). These two white girls from Québec, Canada decided to sit next to me and start judging what I am doing on my laptop « Ayoye, elle fait quoi, elle perd son temps à chercher des polices de caractère » which translates to « Wth is she doing wasting her time on typefaces » Im Asian born and raised in Quebec, so they probably thought I was another random Chinese tourist or something. So before I had to pack my stuff, I saw that they were still looking at my screen like vultures so I decided to open a Google Doc file, put my size font at 60 so that they could read, and typed a whole lot of shit in French LMFAO. Their faces went 😟😟😟😟😟 They were shocked and embarrassed that I could understand everything they were talking about!

I was in a flight from Seoul to LA a couple of years ago. There was this girl who was sitting in the back row with her dad, she had asked for a cup of water and instead of drinking it, she just left it on the tray sitting there. I even remember one of the flight attendants telling her to not just leave it there cause I could spill over but she ignored her and went to sleep. A couple of hours went by and I was tired so I moved my seat back a little bit to sleep when I suddenly hear a loud gasp coming from the back. Turns out, the damn cup of water spilled all over her. She gets up, ready to fight me and even tells her dad to back her up, I turn my head back to see what was going on and apologize even though it wasn't my fault, when both of them saw me they just rolled their eyes and the girl said "Ah, it's a stupid foreigner", her dad followed with "It makes sense that she's stupid" and went back to their seats. I was tired so I really wasn't in the mood to clap back but when we landed, a elder woman was trying to hurry her way down the plane and needed to get her bags from the upper compartment, no one was helping her so I reached out to her. Mind you, the girl and her dad were still waiting in their seats when they saw me reaching out to the woman and speaking to her in korean with honorifics and the whole thing. I was so pleased when I saw their shocked expressions and the girl covering her face when she walked past me on her way out😹

Well I'm not sure if this counts. So long ago it was my mom's birthday and me and my family were planning to go to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate her party (just so you know my family is Mexican). So when we got our tables there was this black lady(I hope I didn't sound racist) staring at us in disgust and I was the only one who noticed her staring, I didn't think much of it tho. My whole family were enjoying their time talking to each other until I heard the lady's family talk. Lady 1: Ugh omg they talk too loud and are extremely annoying. Lady 2: I hope they don't try to rob us since there's lots of crimes because of them. Lady's husband: *starts to mock our language in a gibberish way* Lady 1: They should celebrate their party in Mexico. That's where those drug dealers belong. All of them start laughing. Teen boy: At least they don't understand what were saying. I didn't want to confront them since it's my moms birthday. So I just stared at them while they were trash talking my family. They noticed my staring and their face turned so pale when they realized that I could understand them, even though I didn't confront them, once they noticed me staring at them they knew I understood them. So they ended up leaving. And now I'm teaching my parents English so that they can surprise people that trash talk them.

A few years ago my mom was studying french & while having a conversation with her teachers they mentioned they were really homesick, so she invited them over for dinner. She spent the whole day cooking french food, she bought a selection of french cheeses for them to snack on, & one of them was really cheap, but it was relevant in a family anecdote so that's why she bought it. I was a very shy 16 yo so I barely spoke to her teachers when they arrived home. We sat down at the table, my mom & dad stood up to get something from the kitchen, and one of them grabbed the cheap cheese and told the other one in french: oh god, not this shit cheese... they laughed and continued talking in french mocking the cheese, mind you there were 5 other really nice & fancy cheeses on the platter, so they were just being mean... I was so mad cause I knew how hard my mom had worked for them & how excited she was to make them feel at home, so I turned to face them & told them in perfect french: my mom bought that cheese cause she was going to tell you a really funny story about it.... I can still see their face!!! HA! One of them managed to stutter: you speak french!? Yes, so you should be really careful when you talk shit around other people, you never know when someone will understand...

Ok here's a story: So, I am an American citizens of Asian descent. I speak fluent English which is arguably better than my Chinese. I was visiting my grandparents in China, and this white couple with 3 children were like "oh look at those * some kind of racial slur *'s they're eating dogs" (we were eating fish like wtf) I turned around and said "We're eating fish. Get a new prescription." Now, my entire family is fluent in English. But since me and my sister don't have accents, we sound like normal American citizens (Which is what we are). This lady was *shook* . Me and my sister started talking to each other in English instead of Chinese, and the mother just picked up her bag and left
