I had a client tell me to go back to wherever I came from (I’m a pasty ass white guy) and she left this letter on my car accusing me of being a middle-eastern “Islamic Jew” and telling me to do something with “your gold”, and to “bury your head in the sand.”

It was one of the more amusing accusations I’d received over the years. I tried to address the letter with her and she just kept telling me “Move back to whatever country you came from.” I said I was born in the US, and told her that I’m mostly of Irish decent, and she looked me dead in the eyes and said so matter of fact: “Then go back to Ireland” and stormed off.

I wasn’t upset and when she went back in the facility I couldn’t help but let out a pretty good laugh. Another client was on the porch laughing and he was just saying “Man you’re so white!” (he was black and seemed so amused by the accusations). My hair is black, but my skin is Conan white… My supervisor was an African American (in that she immigrated here from South Africa) and she would tease me relentlessly about being ‘middle-eastern’ for years.

But that wild note under my windshield was a lot better than the rocks that Client covered a facility worker’s car with! My supervisor made me drop that client from my caseload fearing more false accusations.

Man, sorry for this rant out of no where… That user and your response just made me think of it. That deportation part of his comment was just so absurd it just brought me back to that other situation.
