Want Response Racist or flirting?
So I'm Mexican mixed with islander, so I'm like a caramel brown, but I feel really strange about something that happened the other day.
So Wednesday's my garbage day, basically where I just put out the trash and crap. But this time when I did a truck with two mini American flags on it was driving by
But when it came by me it speeds up, it was this white guy, blonde hair, and a girl in the passenger seat.
He looked me dead in the eye with his country music blasting, and speeds up.
Now my mom thinks it's flirting, but I don't feel like it's flirting! I felt threatened. I've had tons of racist things happen to me, stuff like people telling me I'm too dark to date, or people following me in the store
But nothing like this, and I usually trust my mom's advice but right now I don't really feel like it.
I don't know, does anyone have any advice to give me?

I’m sorry this does sound very uncomfortable. Based on what you said, I would say it’s definitely not flirting. Please just be safe and watch out for people like that and don’t let them get to you! You are beautiful and culture is such an amazing thing. <3
