Wow. People are really being mean this week, huh? Pink and Britney Spears have already been tormented by fat-shamers, and now Chrissy Teigen is being mocked by a "racist" passerby.
The supermodel, who is of Thai and Norwegian descent, took to Twitter today to share an ugly encounter she had in West Hollywood with a "normal-looking dude." After Teigen dropped her sunglasses, the man reportedly began calling her slurs based on her Asian heritage. Sounds like a real charmer.
Teigen eventually acknowledged the creeper, who took the opportunity to call her another name. In a perfect world, John Legend and Common would have been down the block with a piano and some mics to sing about bridging the racial divide with their Oscar-winning song, "Glory." In reality, we suspect the tough-talking Teigen flashed a dirty look and possibly a finger before cutting her losses. Here's her recap from Twitter:

I dropped my sunglasses this AM on Santa Monica blvd and this seemingly normal looking dude screamed "fucking chinks always dropping shit"

— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) April 16, 2015We were the only ones on the block and he screamed it from 5 feet away. Then when I acknowledged it he said "oh now the oriental can hear"
