Some idiot called me a n*ger once, I have no idea why. I'm so white in color, it isn't even funny!
Well seeing as I'm an Arabian with a love for reading,video games and D&D I can say that I've been discriminated against a whole lot.Once in seventh grade,someone planted a bunch of firecrackers in a school bathroom.Guess who they blamed?In fact it wasn't even the kids at school who did it.The fucking principal brought me to his office and even though he had no reason to suspect me other then my skin color he said some bull about calling the police on me and then never brought it up again.I've always felt a bit of moral superiority over him since that incident.
Ive had several racist, sexist and homophobic things thrown my way over the years and im a white British middle class male.
When i was working as a care assistant i was the only male therefore i recived extreme sexist comments and bias to the point i left the job.
Racism and age bias ironically when i applied for university.
Homophobia - almost everywhere.
*Shrugs* Cant really complain as if its not going to be sexism/racism/homophobia its going to be several other things that people will find to dislike you.

I got called a "punk-ass white boy" ala American History X by some crazy once. He was black, so I could see it being racist, but he was nuts too.
I used to get beaten up in school a lot for being english when I was younger.
Though I dunno if that really counts. My sister is also english-born, and she never got any shit.
More than likely, the english thing was just an excuse.
I must have one of those faces, I guess.

White Canadian male in a primarily white Canadian community... not really.
Although, I do recall Mom telling me a story once of a time she briefly went down to the States. Some American woman, apparently from the South, came up to her and asked:
"You're Canadian, right? Can I see your money?"
My mother shows her some Canadian bills.
"Heh. It looks like Monopoly."
My mother's retort? "Yeah... but at least it's not BORING!"
The other woman shut up. XD

I'm Indian by blood, though I was born in the U.S. I was called "Osama bin Laden" and various other terrorist names in middle school after 9/11. And the funny thing is, it was the black people that were most racist towards me.
According to a study done while ago, one which I will not be able to hunt down, the most intelligent people in the world are Taoists.Thamous said:
being a fat white australian i am subject to many jokes, but i never had to deal with racisim till i got married (my wife being filipino) - and the ammount of crap we had to put up with was really quite shocking, alot of australian's think that the filipino community only marrys for money or to get out of their country, that might be the case with some of them, but you can easily tell who those types are...
so in short i havent had to deal with racisim against me, but i've had to deal with it against my wife and against our marrage. people can say some harsh things.

Try going to Yakima Washington. The 85% Hispanic population will gladly beat the shit out of you on a public street.Thamous said:
Definitely.
Its mostly Jew jokes even though only my dad was Jewish and I don't even believe in god. The worst part is that unlike insults thrown at stupid people, I get judged for being good at mathematical things.

Try taking a gender studies class where every other student is female. They seem to be under the impression that they can tell me how a male thinks.
