Someone told me to go back where I came from today. But I got the last laugh.

46. BRAVA, KW!

And I know that conflicting set of feelings! You laugh at it. Or you ignore it so as not to give them the satisfaction of stirring your shit up., thereby proving that you are untouchable by their slings and arrows and whatever else they try to throw at you. Or instead of suppressing your anger, you decide maybe it's time to let these assholes know how they're going over with people. Probably with A LOT of people. Judging from your story, there were more within earshot at the store to approve of your reaction than there were who'd huff and puff about how supposedly unAmerican you are.

Even most of them, I suspect, have either read, seen, or uttered the phrase "melting pot." In elementary school, maybe. Probably even heard it used in a sentence. But their behavior now strongly indicates that they don't know what the term "melting pot" is talking about, at all.
