Have you ever experienced racism before?

Yes. Living in Tennessee going to a mostly Caucasian high school in an affluent area, racism was common among the student body and faculty. It was bad.

I haven't, I think. But I did make some racist comments when I was a kid before not that I am coming up with an excuse, but I got most of what I said from the streets and old people. In my country, racism is quite rampant. We even have names and stereotypes for some races. People here get pissed off when something about our race is mentioned. Or something a negative observation which in certain times is true and they decide to brand it as a racist remark.

Despite the fact that it wasn't the case, do you think that would even justify their reaction? That assumption in and of itself is racist. You make it out like all people of that ethnicity react with hostility to hostility.

That's not what I said. I focused on you.

That is what you implied.

I already said that was not the case.

No and I'm not even white. Then again, I don't think anyone knows or cares about my ethnicity. In fact, I've gotten either indifference and sometimes praise. It's weird but whatever.

Already 3 pages? WOW.

Yup. While I was playing insurgency some malays called me fucking indian trash even though I am not indian. :(

With a great taste on cars ;] F*** racism.

Yeah all the time. I get on Call of Duty and destroy some people and the first thing they resort to is calling me a N word.

@nini200: f"k racism.

Lol exactly

@CountBleck12: well good.

Oh Jesus I don't remember a time where people didn't send deragotory remarks my way. Shoot I've experienced it on these forums as well. Anyone who believes racism is dead in America is lying to themselves, as evidenced by recent events such as: http://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/ex-candidate-who-plotted-muslim-massacre-released-because-judge-isnt-sure-hes-a-true-threat/

Thanks for all the responses guys

I've faced discrimination.

yes, as shocking as it may be, I've encountered racist black people and me being white, was treated accordingly. I have also encountered a couple of racist Asians too. Unfortunately much of society and the media portray's racism as only a 1 way street.

I agree man, but that's what people seem to think, not me.

People are pretty stupid, if I'm being honest. And yes, that does include me.

Same here. I'm by no means the sharpest tool in the shed. :P

I fear for the well-being of others, then!

(BTW: I'm actually on holiday in LA now, and considering how many mixed Latin-Americans live here, I seriously even more baffled!)

@ShadowsDemon: No surprise there considering its proximity to the Mexican border. Hispanics and Latinos are close to being the majority there if they aren't already.

@gamerguru100: You wouldn't have guessed it based on "reports" alone, though!

Nah, I could have guessed. California is well known for its ethnic diversity. :)

@gamerguru100: Indeed. ;)

I have to say, though, you guys enjoy your large servings over here!

You mean in California? Or the US in general? I'm in Minnesota BTW.

From what I've seen, and remembered, of the US, it's pretty much a general statement. :P

And it's a true statement. It partly explains the obesity rates here.

Yeah...not gonna lie, a lot of people here are massive. Really massive.

And Australia ain't that far behind. You've corrupted us! :P

LOL

I remember hearing somewhere that as developing countries become more developed, their obesity rates and heart disease occurrences increase. We've never had so much food before in history, so people are loading up fast.

I dare say it's the food that's being consumed as well, not just how much of it is being eaten.

True. We now have lots of sugar being mass produced. Our brains go apeshit over sugar.

Not that I can recall.

When I was in high school and applying to colleges I applied to a college that was all female because I didn't know it still was (I thought it was now accepting males), and didn't get in (I don't even think I got a response). Now recently some women's colleges have changed their policies to let men in that are transgender and identify as women, I don't think that school is doing so, but if I were to apply to one of these colleges I wouldn't get in, so I guess that would make me a potential victim of cisphobia.

@gamerguru100: Pretty much. Hell, you guys even have sugar in your bread!

But honestly, it's a welcome relief. Our connecting flight was held up because one of the guys traveling with us had his name misprinted on the ticket. More specifically, they put as middle name in place of his last.

Sleeping on the floor of a bustling Hawaiian airport while our travel bookers got their shit together was not fun. We barely managed to catch the plane to LA, but we're here now so lots of sugar is welcomed! ;)

@whipassmt: Sexism LOL.

Yes, and I am white lol. =p

@Ryagan: ok

@Iszdope: yes cause you know I like bumping my threads.

@Iszdope: no you have one (starts doing a kameha)

@Iszdope: re read the post.

@Iszdope: KAMEHAMEHA

@Iszdope: you wanna fight?(starts doing a fatality)

Yes. Lots of eyeballing from blacks on the mainland, with one incident from a black bus driver who sat their slinging shit my way once in Cali....."what side of the bed you wake up on today, boy??", "someone's not here with us today" etc, just general angsting me in front of a crowded bus, and I didn't say a word on entering so I don't know what could've triggered it aside from prejudice. I sat their in silence and got off at the first stop, he wasn't worth it.

I have been called "white trash" by Korean people.
