Is it fair game to insult his sexuality?

I'm no gay basher, but this guy is an idiot who works at walmart part time and plays video game/watch tv all day when he isn't at work. EDIT: everything he says starts with "in America we...."

He was just flipping through tv channels without watching anything. I asked him why didn't he read a book and learn something instead of watching the channel lineup. He said, Americans are lazy and don't do shit. I responded: if all Americans were lazy like you, we wouldn't have gone to the moon. We'd all be sucking dicks.

He shuts the fvck up.

Well, change (or remove) the workplace and that describes just about the entire population.

Are you sure you don't mean to say he is making fun of your nationality? Nothing you have said shows him making fun of your ethnicity/race.

If he is in fact making fun of you for for you ethnicity, then I would say it's fair game to make fun of him for being gay. I think the key word here is "fun." Keep it lighthearted and not malicious and I don't foresee any problems (unless he is ultra-sensitive, in which case I'd find a new roommate).

How about you mind your own fucking business? Is his "flipping thru the channel lineup" harming you in any way?

Just punch him in the face every time he says something stupid. Problem solved. Everyone knows this.

You started shit unprovoked with him and then bashed him for being gay and you're asking if he offended your ethnicity for making social commentary about the US?

lol what the fuck

Every word that comes out of his mouth towards me starts with "in America we (do things this way and that way)" which clearly implies I'm not, or he is implying that my "culture" (whatever may be) is inferior.

You didn't really clarify what sort of stuff he was saying and/or explain why that would be offensive but now it makes a lot more sense.

In that case, if he's making comments maliciously, fuck him. You don't have to insult him being gay, insult him for being an ignorant fuck of a person for trying to talk down to you because of your background.

AWESOME.

And if he's making fun of you, you can make fun of him. If he tells you to stop gay-bashing, tell him to stop being a fucking racist.

TBH the OP is the asshole here. If my flatmate (if I had one) spoke to me like that, he'd get more than a cultural insult. WTF has it got to do with you what he does with his time?

I'm a US citizen in a minority group which happens to consume a lot of rice, I'll leave it at that.

He's making fun of you, when he works at Walmart? Why are you asking on a forum whether it's ok to return the banter? Jesus.

'It could be worse, I could be a gay [insert nationality here]...'

If he doesn't have a sense of humor, then tell him to STFU before you beat the [insert his nationality here] out of him.

Hahaha, not ashamed, I'm Chinese. I was trying to find some smart ass way to tell people that I'm Asian. I'm usually not thateasily insulted.
