Bollywood Hero Syndrome: Got insulted by a drunk guy in an elevator

TRIGGER

Last night my girlfriend and I were in an elevator after a movie when four Indian guys got in. One of them was clearly drunk and bragging about how a couple of beers or weed dont affect him and how the cops can never catch him.

Then he looked at me and said why do girls date dwarfs these days? (I’m 5’8 and he is probably 6’.) He added that he doesn’t even talk to men under 5’10 even when 2 of his friends were shorter than me.

I ignored him. When we got off the elevator he threw one last line: Dwarfs should always keep their eyes down and not look at real men.

I know they are Indian because they were speaking Hindi and honestly it felt like he only got that bold because he saw someone with similar skin tone with a girl and needed to act like the “Alpha Male”.

I am just disgusted by the confidence some men have to humiliate strangers in public just to feel like the hero for 10 seconds.
