Fighting

Have you ever commented on a video or an article and all of a sudden some "attacks" you and assumes something about you?


I was watching a Korean variety show and this girl said watching porn is bad and that idols shouldn't watch porn and me being me questioned why? Why is watching porn bad? 
I was being genuine because I know that in some countries it is a taboo, so I wanted to know her perspective because even where I am from, people don't outright say that they watch porn unlike here in America where it isn't so much as a taboo. Americans are more liberal in that aspect. 
I was at a birthday-costume party and one of my friends dressed up as Robin Hood, tights and all, and on top of that, he shaved his legs. *insert fan-girl scream* lol I was shocked, but in a good way. 
After my friend in the picture above showed off his "sexy and shapely" legs, another (girl)friend of mine blatantly said that she needed to go home and watch porn now. I don't know about you, but that was pretty straight forward. I'm not even like that. So anyway, it made me think about the comment I replied to on youtube and how the girl responded to my innocent question about how is porn bad:
"where are you from? i bet you're american..but we asians consider watching porn as bad habit...asians are not american, i know american because i once gone there and american consider guys not watching porn are losers, but we asians are not like that,..."
Truth be told, I was pissed because she assumed I was American and a whole start fight started. Her and I started bickering back and forth and insults started flying and another girl got involved. I'm a lover not a fighter, but I'm hot headed and I don't like being called American or Black or anything else because that isn't who I am. I am from Trinidad and Tobago. I was just so pissed that she would assume my nationality. I understand that in some Asian countries porn is like a taboo. Believe me, I know. I would be incredibly ignorant if I didn't learn about Asian customs and their taboos. I don't know all of them, but I'm learning.
I'm not innocent either in this fight because I did call her a bitch for assuming I'm American.
Today the fight continued and it was getting pretty heated and I, in all my pride, was not going to be the first person to apologize. I find that one of the hardest words to say is "I am sorry" After a fight, I am never the first person to say it and a lot of times, I still won't say it, so I have to commend this girl for being the first person to say "Hey! We are fighting over a small and stupid thing. Let's stop and be friends."
