Has Anyone Ever Been Racist/Sexist/Discriminatory To You?

[tsb247]

As a white male, I have not been blatantly discriminated against, but I have been disliked based on some stereotypes.

I used to work in some rather nasty parts of the city (doing volunteer work), and I have been labeled all sorts of things by the black and hispanic populations that didn't even like the fact that I was in their neighborhood. Our little group was quickly labled the, "Box of crackers," by some local onlookers who did not even like the sight of us. I had some choice words for them inside my mind.

I have been disliked and berrated for being a Christian.

I have also been disliked for coming from a fairly afluent family. It's not my fault they made good decisions with their money, went to college, worked hard, and got good jobs. I'm attempting to do the same thing. I should point out that the people who were insulting me were from people who blew their money on drugs.

I've found in my experience that you have labels pasted on you based upon your age. (Especially younger people.)

I look and act lot older than I am so I usually let people just go on thinking I'm whatever age they think me to be.

Yes.
Every single day.

I have vowed to punch everyone who says that it's impossible to be racist against white boy.
Racism against whites is real and I don't like it.

Yea Racism is not just against black people it's against all different coulours of the skin.

well... there was a girl that grabbed my ass once but i grabbed hers as revenge and then she got mad at me... I think that what she did to me was just as bad what she did to me.

I've never really been discriminated against purposefully at any point. More or less I would get racist jokes directed at me I usually took in good stride (I'm mixed caucasian/hispanic).

And the same pretty much applies to the amount of jokes and slurs I'd recieve about my religious affiliation, but it's something I've learned to expect and usually dealt out my brand of sarcasm to those stupid enough to joke with me about it.

Not in Mexico, just in the U.S.

Since I'm pretty much the norm in my country I don't get any problems, but when I travel to the U.S, let's say there are some white folk that are apparently not so keen to be around me(Oh, Arizona, I grieve for you).

They probably think you're an illegal immigrant... Which is why they glare at you. I apologize on behalf of my fellow countrymen... As much as I hate to call them that.

Nah, it's fine.

How odd would it be if I started saying white people suck just because I've met a few assholes in my time?

Most white folk in the U.S treat me as they like to be treated, I think. Nothing but politeness. And if that one day fails and the U.S fills with asshole white people, we always have our native mexican white folk(yes, those exist too).
