Its a shame that I have to write about this topic in a blog...
Last Friday night, while out with my friends, a group of kids about my age approached me and began calling me a Puta Aleman, and Aleman de Mierda (Essentially "fucking German"). I informed one of them that I was in fact American, and that he in fact, was an idiot.
Within a split second, this punk and his 6 friends began beating the hell out of me. Within about 20 seconds, I was on the ground, bleeding profusely, but they continued with blows to my head. My friends tried to keep them off me, but we were outnumbered, and I took (as the doctor informed me later) about 30 punches to the head.
Fortunately, my friends got me out of there, none of them got hit, I didn't lose consciousness, and I didn't lose any teeth. Unfortunately, I got the shit beaten out of me.
But for what one may ask?
I'm a blond American and I stick out like a sore thumb.
Now, I'd like to think that I've been generally tolerant with the Mallorquin's dislike for foreigners, and sometimes I can see their point. But when it escalates to violence at this level, to unprovoked attacks, I lose all my patience. I am the victim of a Hate Crime.
My friends supported me until I could walk, and Iris gave me a tissue to wipe the blood from my face. Within an hour or so, I was in bed at Tyler's house. I hardly slept a wink.

Despite how awful this is, I am not coming home early.
This is before the swelling, the black eye got blacker as well...
