indecent exposure
this might be a little alert for all of us, that even in the safest place on earth (or so i thought—definitely not anymore now) you can't just leaning on your rocker with a cup of coffee and forget about everything. you have to be cautious. because people are people, no matter where they are.
people are people. pervs are pervs.
what bother me most is the fact that this incident happened to one of my closest friends in here. fyi, she's not your typical too-dumb-to-be-true asian girl which you can find almost everywhere in this town. she has that sophisticated don't-fool-around-with-me-or-i'll-kick-your-butt look and style (and personality) which make her as your perfect partner to have a serious conversation with. apparently those aren't enough for some dick to stop being a jerk. so let's call her Liv, to protect her confidentiality. and let's call the dick Dick. for obvious reason.
Liv was walking to the campus on her own as usual one afternoon when a guy—Dick—in a white car approached her from the street side and ask for a help. Dick was said to be white, twentysomething-ish, hairy, tanned, and wearing an unbuttoned shirt. being kind as she is, Liv walked closer to the car trying to find out what do the guy need. and there it was. she finally saw it. the guy was exposing himself. no, he's not just exposing himself, the guy was jerking off with his cock out and pants down in the car.
before Liv could even comprehend what she's looking at, Dick laughed and said, "yeah, i kinda need some help" with the snobby i'm-so-hot-check-me-out kind of attitude.
"what the—"
"go suck my dick, bitch!"
"F*CK OFF!!!" Liv, of course, finally came to her sense, said that last line with dignity and a you're-a-pathetic-pervert-go-back to-the-shit-hole-where-you-belong look, and walked away. the guy laughed even harder and drove away immediately.
sadly, that's not the end of the story. later when she reported the incident to the campus security, she found out that that same guy had been doing the same sort of harassment around a nearby high school in the morning. and even worse, she's not the only one who have reported the case that day. just for the record, all victims are asian by race.
on one side, i cannot be grateful enough that as a guy i don't really have to worry much about being harassed. but on the other hand, it's really disturbing knowing that Liv was one of the victims. yes, victim, because even though he didn't touch her at all, he has succesfully affected her emotionally. that, and as well as knowing that he's not only been chasing highschoolers too, but also particularly asian females. because asians are dumb. easy to played fool with. piece-of-cake catch.
it's a good thing Liv's english is as good as a native, and she had the gut to defend herself with a nice finishing line. but most asians here are ESL students who sometimes need five minutes just to say "my name is..." and reply with "ya ya ya ya" everytime someone asks them something. let alone having the gut to shout the f-word outloud. and who could blame them? the whole incident is really intimidating even for, say, a guy, although for sure a guy would reply that kind of attitude with a fist.
as for Dick: go f*ck yourself and rot in hell.
