I was on the redline train from downtown to Hollywood playing one of many games on my celllphone. A woman entered talking and never stopped talking the entire time. Towards the end she near two Asian woman, that I was initially sitting by, but I got up and left because I seen a space that was alone and away from people. The “Talker” said “What language is that?” then called them “Chinese bitches”. I did start recording her in the beginning specifically to capture her saying something racist to Asians because that’s the norm in America. However, I just happened to stop before she called them a racial slur.
Since 2020 I’ve been witnessing and engaging in racist arguments with racists on the train. Fall of 2025, I decided two things. To stop getting involved because one of these days I’m going to die for defending a stranger over racism. And two, to stop carrying a weapon. I know if I get into another argument and they decide to get physical and if I hurt or kill them, I am the one they make out to be the bad guy. They will intentionally leave out all the details and create a headline that vilifies me and ultimately, I’ll be the one incarcerated.
