I had a few negative comments (& lost some readers too) about using the word “oriental” so I deleted it from the post, “It Only Happens To Me“. The reason why I deleted  it was because I had some negative feedback and I didn’t want people to think that I was being insensitive in any way.

I was not being “racist” (yes, I had a comment that stated that) or meant for it to be negative in any kind of way toward Asians or anyone.  It was just because I believe anyone can do wrong, no matter what race or gender the person is.

I’m sorry but I didn’t know what this lady really had in her mind.  She caught me off guard and I had my defense mechanism on high at the moment.

In my opinion, you never know who will mug you; male or female.  Especially with the way this economy is.  So to have my guard up like that, was very natural to me.

It’s funny how some people can interpret what others say and turn it around to be a negative thing.

That was definitely not my intention.

So if I offended anyone, I apologize but there was no need for negative comments.  I’m a minority (Latina) and I’m very proud of it so I would not judge anyone just because of their race.

Believe me.

So I hope “those” that left negative comments, understand my point and continue to read my blog because I try to write about positive issues, not about anything that is negative.
