To Be or Not To Be ........Insulted

So Im minding my business, doing some homework and i get an instant message on Whatsapp from a guest that came over this last summer. Either this is a perfect example 1) communication gap between cultural division, 2) Misapplication of the english language or 3) Plain Dumb ‘Ace’. I’ve been told I misunderstood people and I think I’m going to let you all be the judge. I copied the conversation word for word. At the end, I would appreciate if you tell me what category do you think Beevis THE Butthead fit in.

BUTT HEAD: hey how are you

Nonya: Hi there. Your name?

BUTT HEAD: Butthead! (not real name)

BUTT HEAD: what are you doing

Nonya: Chilling

BUTT HEAD: I want to tell you something. Last summer I reserved your room via airbnb. but over there is terrible

Nonya: Okkkk

BUTT HEAD: and you are fake

BUTT HEAD: why

Nonya: Okkkkk

BUTT HEAD: are you fake

BUTT HEAD: i saw you but you dont look like ur profile pic

Nonya: Perhaps it’s you who are fake? If you paid me, sure....i could put on my normal wear. My job is not to glam up for the likes of you. Do you feel better that you got that of your chest?

BUTT HEAD: it is not about your outfit or somethng like that. i feel unsecure over there . all people are very awfull

Nonya: Sounds to me that you have some personal issues with interactions

Nonya: If all the people were awful

BUTT HEAD: people in phone store said, this neighborhood fcked up in illinois. they steal lots of things .

BUTT HEAD: 2 guys in store were good

BUTT HEAD: maybe you

BUTT HEAD: but this picture dont look like you

BUTT HEAD: if u use your pic. i would feel safe

Nonya: Exactly how do you feel that my look is going to make you feel safe?

BUTT HEAD: your picture and you isn’t same person

Nonya: As for neighborhood that can be said about any part of chicago

Nonya: Whatever makes you sleep at night

BUTT HEAD: they told about south chicago . and i think true

Nonya: You think? Guess what...i think a person who’s name is BUTT HEAD are pschos....but that doesnt make it true. You should see things for yourself before passing judgment in general

BUTT HEAD:

🏻

Nonya: But to linger on a short experience you had for the rest of your life is a waste of time. You have one life.

BUTT HEAD: no . i just talking. i dont think about it

Nonya: Evidently you do. Otherwise you wouldn’t be contacting me. You could simply had made a review and moved on with your life

BUTT HEAD: i just improve english. so i start to conversation with people in whatsapp

BUTT HEAD: why are u angry

Nonya: Im angry? 1. Not angry. Dont allow random nobodies to get under my skin. 2. You called me...i guess to say how fake and unsecure u are. 3. Im only engaging in your feeble conversation because its cold outside and im bored. You just given me something to post on my facebook and i thank u for that

BUTT HEAD: no

BUTT HEAD: dont get me wrong

Nonya: ?

BUTT HEAD: i didnt say a racist thing

Nonya: What part do i have wrong?

Nonya: Did i say that you were a racist?

BUTT HEAD: i am not talking about your skin of course

BUTT HEAD: why you share me in ur facebook

Nonya: Theres a difference between racism and ignorant...maybe not

Nonya: Getting under the skin is a figure of speech

BUTT HEAD: actually i like black women

Nonya: Rightttt

Nonya: Getting under my skin means that you irritate me.

Nonya: But you cant get under my skin if i have no feelings about your opinions either way

BUTT HEAD: ok 🏻 i get it

Nonya: Which i dont. Simply curious as to your reason for contact

BUTT HEAD: i said i like black women

BUTT HEAD: 🏻

Nonya: Good for you

BUTT HEAD: do you have boyfriend

Nonya: None of your bizniz

BUTT HEAD: hmm ok

BUTT HEAD: people in usa usually dont reply like that. i just saw you

Nonya: You know, if this is your way of getting a girlfriend by insulting them....you are going to be a lonely guy.

Nonya: No....usa women dont like being approached by ignorant men

Nonya: You actually expect me to answer personal questions about myself after you called me fake

BUTT HEAD: you get me wrong. i am not insulting . why you said this ?

Nonya: Really?

Nonya: You see none of the above conversation as insulting?

Nonya: Where you from?

BUTT HEAD: i just said your profiles fake.

BUTT HEAD: not you

Nonya: Still an insult

Nonya: Where you from

BUTT HEAD: can you tell me insulting reason?

BUTT HEAD: serbia

Nonya: Ahhhhh

Nonya: Ok

Nonya: Country of cavemen

BUTT HEAD: i dont hurt anybody.

BUTT HEAD: idk

BUTT HEAD: you passing judgement in general

Nonya: Yeah....see how it works...If i was to listen to everything the media said, i would conclude that your entire country are women haters, with no respect for decency and are all terrorist....then judge my whole belief about serbia based on my one conversation with you

Nonya: Thats exactly what you did when you spoke of the south side of chicago...me...and things you hear from the corner store to sum up an entire area

BUTT HEAD: it is just like racism

Nonya: Yup exactly

BUTT HEAD: you are racist ?

Nonya: And you didnt realize you were doing it

BUTT HEAD: i am not ...

BUTT HEAD: ok i reliazed anymore

Nonya: I only said cavemen and the following comment to prove my point

Nonya: I have serbian friends thank god....they are nothing like you

BUTT HEAD: there is a lot of prove about south chicago. but i dont tell you :),

Nonya: ?

BUTT HEAD: i love all chicago :)

Nonya: How much of the south side did you see

BUTT HEAD: i stayed one hotel at south chicago . it is at 5-6. stop with metro

BUTT HEAD: genereally people i met in downtown think like me

Nonya: Generaly people downtown dont go south. The south side goes all the way to 147th street and 70 percent of the south side is middle class to upper class residents. There are pockets of low income residents like englewood...but its all over the city. But being from serbia, u would know best

BUTT HEAD: residents were very good

Nonya: The only hotels on the south side are primarily by the airport

BUTT HEAD: o check hotel i stayed

Nonya: Not necessary.

BUTT HEAD: i cant remember its name

Nonya: Im going to be leaving now. I have some preparations to do....get ready for my new guests

BUTT HEAD: great.. 🏻 same day i can reservation again

Nonya: Reserve where?

Nonya: Here?

BUTT HEAD: yes

Nonya: Thats not going to happen

BUTT HEAD: why

BUTT HEAD: i stayed south holland hote

BUTT HEAD: 1 night

Nonya: Thats the suburbs

BUTT HEAD: i did not say like that. you said now

Nonya: I want you to take this conversation to a friend u have in the usa. Read them the conversation word for word and ask them if you were being insulting

Nonya: Good day

BUTT HEAD: you get me wrong . soryy :)

Nonya: Maybe i did or didnt. Until u figure that out...you cant come back here

BUTT HEAD: why ,?

Nonya: Dont want you to keep feeling unsecure about the area or my face

BUTT HEAD: i like your face. :) it is true i cant feel secure over there.

BUTT HEAD: so i cant go back there again
