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

[asinann]

Being a white American male, there isn't a lot for them to say, so no.
But I have most certainly seen it around me.

The white American male is the only group it's still ok to discriminate against in the U.S. and it's because of that train of thought. Turn on the TV and you'll see it, any family sit com, white dad screws up because he did something that was normal 10 years ago (like buying bread or jelly without input from the wife) and it turns out to be the wrong kind. 30 minutes is spent showing dad how much of a jackass he is for doing something without input from everyone and their dog first and how he should have just let his wife do it because she is 1000 times more intelligent than he is and never ever wrong (even when she crashes the car into a parked car because she was talking to a friend on her cell phone.)

I am an american white male and even I have had a racist comment about my Scottish heritage on several occasions by another white american male. He felt it was neccessary to make fun of me for being Scottish since he has Irish heritage (even though I am as Irish as he is).

EDIT: I forgot about the time I was walking with my two white friends and this White girl and Black girl passed by us on the street and the Black girl called us "Fake-ass white boy muthafuckers" and the then the white girl pushed my friend and left deep black hand prints on his white t-shirt and then the WHITE girl said that she was too black for us "cracka-ass muthafuckers".

Oh and to the OP. Next time some one gives you shit about the holocaust just go all dead serious and say "Don't joke about that shit. My grandfather died in a concentration camp." then give it a few seconds so they get all silent and shit then "Fell asleep on duty and rolled right out of his guard tower."
.

I probably should feel some sort of insult or something for that, but I'm to busy laughing to really know.

And mostly I tell them what my grandparents told me: That they were relatively young and hid in basements to make sure they were'nt recruited by Lil' Hitler's Army.

At www.revleft.com leftist forums. I quit going there because of discrimination towards me because of my religion. one of the mods is a militant atheist and also claims to be an anarcho-communist. However, I found that he was more like Stalin than anything else - peace, freedom and equality are important to him...but only for those who he deems worthy. I was friendly initially, and I made the mistake of claiming on a thread that "We're all on the same side here". I got flamed with some of the most discriminatory things I've ever read, that apparently I can't believe in the philosophy of communal living because I have a religion. In the words of Yahtzee:

"BULL.

FUCKING.

SHIT."

It turns out that there are fascists where you least expect them to be. It's like he was a Nazi, but hating not just Jewish people, but everyone with a religion. Oh, and most other forum-goers there proceeded to post pictures of burning churches and out-of-context, extremist interpretations of religious texts.

And before I look like a whiny troll, I could post quotes from Marx, Engels, and Lenin that support my side of this. And I will, if requested.

Not directly to me, but there's one chick that I know that just complains how guys are stupid, ugly, and all around suck balls. On FaceBook. With guys on her friends list.

She's not the brightest one.

White male, but I'm homeschooled, so I get a lot of shit. Mostly in form of "Do you really to school?","do you get to relax all day?" "Can you go to college?" "Do you have any friends? (Fuck that one's annoying) blah blah blah, ad nauseum. But it's so sweet when they find out I kicked their asses in the SAT\ACT or I can't meet them somewhere because I'm going to a party.

 

[LadyZephyr]

Gay, so yeah.

 

[Captain Pancake]

I feel for you, man. That sounds pretty rough. I'm actually very interested in Germany and German history, I would love to take a holiday over there.

But in my own experience... I haven't really been discriminated against very severely. or at all.

I have red hair and I've heard my fair share of South Park references they ussually make me laugh because (I hope) the people are joking and I'm a fan of South Park and found that episode funny the problem is a lot of people who were too young to be watching the show saw it and took it seriously so sometimes I hear 6th graders whispering about "souless gingers" I'm flattered anyone would find me intimidating so not much of a problem either. Once in the hallway I heard "Damn that kid's a ginga" from a gansta wannabe I'm sure people have had much worse expiriences than me with genuine prejudice and such.

 

[Nukey]

French/Scottish/Jewish/German.

yeah, i even take crap from my teacher's. my last name ends with berg, so the teacher's and other students immediately assume im Jewish, despite the fact my families christian, and my friends constantly call me a surrender monkey.

 

[RavingPenguin]

Being a white male, no, but I do catch a lot of shit for being racist, homophobic, and sexist. You know what? I dont even deal with people who throw those cards around. If they dont want to have an intelligent conversation, fine. Just dont insult me to get out of it.

 

[SnowCold]

Not really, though if anyone will make fun of me for being jewish, I will push them off a cliff.

 

[KaiRai]

Yes. A few insurance companies were sexist to me when I changed my sex to female on a quote, it dropped by £570.

But then, I don't really count that as sexist because I don't believe in sexism, racism etc.

You're either a dick to someone or you're nice to them.


Unless you're a dick to the government, in which case you are a legend

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Yeah, I'm of german background too, and suffered quite a bit because of it....

 

[hansari]

Honestly, I'm against what the kid did...

Pastafarianism was created as a clever tounge-in-cheek response to the decision to teach "intelligent design" in classrooms alongside "evolution".

So unless this kid goes to a school that is doing just that, he is marring the brilliance that was Pastafarianism.

Pastafarianism was meant to counter religion being taught in school and forced upon the study body... not to counter religion being practiced by individuals.

So the only way this can play off is if the kid is doing this because his school is enforcing a ban on burkhas or other certain religious attire...if not...well then Pastafarianism will lose all that meaning that made it great and will take its place alongside Raptor Jesus as a "silly meme", and nothing more...

 

[gerrymander61]

How about right now in OP's sarcastic comment implying that all Americans are idiots?

That was about a decade or so ago. Think that the American community would get better educated over that time? Nope...

If you can get offended over what little nothing happened to you, then I can certainly get offended over your comment.

 

[Phantom_Natal]

Well I'm a white straight property owner, I think it's physically impossible to discriminate against me. I do get bullshit about being intelligent enough to be an atheist though. also why the hell would you know anything about socialism? the third Reich was a fascist regime not a socialist one.

Sorry for being off topic, but could you please explain to me how your "intelligent" simply for being atheist?

I can't because you have your causality switched.

Ok, perhaps I'm understanding you wrong, but it seems to me you said you get discriminated against because you are intelligent enough to be atheist. As in you have required intelligence to be atheist, if that is not what you meant, please explain your self to 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.

Good for them.

 

[Phantom_Natal]

Ohh man, yes they have, some years ago Chile was more close minded than what it is now.

 

[Crimsanon]

Let's see...
I'm a white British(Bermudian)-Canadian living in the States and:
1. I'm subject to constant Greencard jokes (I'm a legal permanent resident)
2. HURR DURR AMERICA SAVED BRITAIN'S ASS IN BOTH WORLD WARS
3. People I've known for over 6 yeats still repeatedly forget where I'm from and ask me about it ad infinitum
4. CANADA'S A BUNCH OF SOCIALISTS

I live in the Northeast though, so most people are cool about it. Other than that, Nothing. I'm very white.
