I am so done. I am so tired.

At my place of employment, a man (likely a patient) approached me while I was minding my own business with, "Young lady are you a Chinese?" I was already thinking "What the heck?" and told him to back off. He said, "Your kind are diseased." I said shame on him and that he was being a racist. Of course, now he went in with the racial slurs. None of my colleagues stepped in to help me. Everyone was silent. I took out my phone to record him and he started to become aggressive trying to grab at me, adding in misogynistic slurs for good measure too.

I am so done. I am so tired. I am in my 20s and to be honest, I am really not sure how much more I can take. This was not the first time with the racial slurs, insults, abuse, but this was the first time the racist individual tried to physically aggress me. A freaking 200 something pound man trying to push me around because of the racism in his heart. I am so sad.
