Well you made me literally LOL. If you read my previous comment, I got out of the way of a few thousand Koreans that I believed deliberately jumped in my path to force me to change directions....then I finally got mad enough to just say okay, you crazy and I crazy....let's rock. I figured it would have taken 3-4 in shape to take me down but on hindsight and the benefit of time, I probably should have just avoided.
Yes. I would have jumped out of your path because I am only 5'4. I get out of the way for two reasons. I don't want to interact with clueless or crazy people. I also want to make sure nothing intentional happens to me.
- I was not a "mall walker" (those who do their laps around the mall for exercise) but a mall shopper with a clear direction based on the briskness of my walk. You would know not to walk in my path, is what I am mean.
- I did not tell her to "get out of the way"- my tone was sharp, and meant to convey that, but I actually said "You see me walking this way!!!" outloud to her twice
- Her unpleasant grumpy expression was as she walked TOWARDS me deliberately in my path, it was not my imagination- therefore because of that expression, I decided to speak up. If she had a neutral or clueless look, I would've let it slide, but her expression signaled to me "I'm walking in YOUR way and YOU BETTER Move"!
- I do bring up the race because it seemed very deliberate how she barreled her way into my path. I do NOT imagine she would have done that to (for instance):
- another white older lady or man
- a scary tough looking big guy
(She would've moved to the side or give more space to pass)
Someone brought up "Asians respecting elders"
Not necessarily if they are rude and entitled!
"You would know not to walk in my path ...".
As I have not been in a mall in years I was not aware that one has to file a flight plan to reserve walking lanes.
Recently there have been Asian realtors in my area with their realtor signs defaced (vandalized with racist comments)
There have been acts of racism directed towards Asians captured on video various incidences on local transit and in other public places.
You sound like a nasty, unhappy person. It’s no wonder you cause people to react the way they do.
Why not try an experiment, in which you act kindly towards others? You reap what you sow.
Was walking in the mall yesterday, I walk briskly and purposefully and this crazy older lady walks right in my way on purpose- towards the store she was heading to.
For her age, she was walking very briskly and as she past me she had the most unpleasant grouchy expression!
I turned to her and snapped "You see me walking this way!!! You see me walking this way!!!" (Meaning she should move out of my way) She ignores but it was deliberate she was barging her way thru.
Another time, as I was standing in line at a fast food outlet, another older lady deliberately nudges me so that I move. I told her "You can say excuse me, plus you have enough room to move around!"
Neither of them likely expected that they will get told off...
Recently there is racial tension in my city. I wonder how much of it is related to that? (I'm Asian and they have been white)
Probably none. Most Whites don't have anything against Asians. It sounds like you have a major chip on your shoulder for some reason. Also, there are rude people everywhere. Being rude back to them gets you nowhere.
If a stranger in public is rude to you, so what? You'll probably never see that person again in your life.

They tried to make you feel like an outsider, in their own way
