So I went to see a movie tonight (Iron Man for the 2nd time, don't hate). About 25 minutes in, a guy walks in with what I suspect was either his kid or his younger brother and sits down in the row in front of me. For literally, the entire duration of the movie, he's squirming around back and forth, talking to his kid, laughing uncontrollably and yelling at Robert Downey Jr. At one point I had enough, so I kicked him in the back of his seat and asked him to kindly shut the hell up. He then turns around and stares at me for at least 15 minutes going on about how he can do what he wants in his lovely non-comprehendible accent, and of course the usual "wot wot wot wot's". His level of aggressiveness towards my (kind) request almost had me scared that he'd bust a cap right there in the theatre. Of course with that witty statement I'm trying to clarify that he's black, which brings me to my point.
Why is it that nearly everywhere I go, the people that seem to affect my daily life in a negative way the most, are all foreign? Whether they're Turkish, Maroccan (the two most common immigrants in my immediate surroundings) or 'African-American', it seems that often when it comes to annoying me in an every day situation, foreigners prove to be most capable. Whether it's just their annoying accents, their apparent lack of integration when it comes to language and such, their behaviour in public places and their way of treating other people; a lot of immigrants annoy.
Am I the only one with such experiences, or is it simply bad luck on my part? Is behaviour like the above the result of their upbringing, or lack thereof? Do foreign immigrants one way or another feel that they have to put up a tough front? Or am I just a spiteful racist in denial?
Discuss.
