When i was in highschool i was told not to hang out with a Filipino girl because "you don't mix the races". To be fair, the guy who said it wasn't a bad guy, just an idiot, and it was how he was raised.
I also applied for a government job, and found out that the quota of aborigional employees had not been met so they couldnt hire me. The Interviewer went on his own little tangent about how Aborigionals are the scum of the earth.

Been around lots in boarding school, actually. Firstly in Singapore, a Malaysian fucker who made his life mission to make mine as miserable as possible, (I'm Eurasian) stirring up as many people against me as he could. Just before I left that place I broke his glasses and his nose (and I have been in about 3 fights my whole life, so this was a big thing for me ok).
Also witnessed a lot in Western Australia, some really rampant racism going on there, towards Asians, from Asians, and the whole society in general towards and from Aboriginals. From wild verbal abuse, to actual beatings. Not much you can do, except try to get along with everyone...

Actually, I recently read in a science magazine that they've found proof that the people who migrated out of Africa actually interbred with Neanderthals. This of course indicates that the "purest" members of Homo Sapiens are black Africans. I find this amusing =D Take that Aryan supremacists!Steve5513 said:
OT: Well, as a white kid in an immigrant-rich neighbourhood I had some so-called cracker jokes directed at me. Of course I also had a friend in 2nd grade who decided to go around calling all the immigrant kids bad names; I thought this was kinda stupid seeing as he was half-Chilean himself. My exact words were, "I'm a [bad name], you're a [bad name], stop calling people [bad name] it's not nice!" (my mother was an Irish immigrant, so at age 8 my child logic insisted that [bad name that doesn't translate well into English] could be referred to me too)
Oh and my Irish grandmother was a bit of a racist. When my big sister briefly dated an South American fellah she near disowned her. She would have had a field day with my brother's Pakistani live-in girlfriend...
Damn, 4 AM. Off to bed with me!
I have. I would loosely describe him as "my father". He's said most everything one can think of when it comes to racism. Needless to say, we don't converse with one another.zombiejoe said:
Sometimes I think my brother is the biggest racist I have ever met. I just joke with him about it and secretly pray no one I respect hears him talk.zombiejoe said:
Actually, I don't think I have. Huh.
I've heard tons of stories, but I've never actually met a racist person IRL.
The closest I can think of was me in grade two, where I was afraid to touch the Hispanic kid because I was concerned the color would come off on me. I doubt that counts, because I learned how melanin works in grade three and never thought about it again.

yes i have one of my friends are
I tend to ignore him when he starts making remarks like that
With most racists i tend to argue with them, though it normally gets nowhere.

My father is an insufferable, racist moron. Eg he refused to let me go to London on a school trip because of ?All the foreigners? and was apparently disgusted by the school for arranging such an ?unhealthy trip?. Unfortunately I grew up with him and he was and still is like that towards anyone who?s different from him or who won?t benefit him in some way. I?m glad to say I?m nothing like him and this is one of the many reasons why we haven?t spoken for years.
Another example was when I was in a café and I offered a black coffee. I was given a shouted and sworn at by a total stranger who told me ?YOU HAVE TO COFFEE WITHOUT MILK! NOT BLACK COFFEE!!? the funny thing was the guy who was severing me was black and had no problem with me. I just told her to fuck off and mind her own business.

Well my step dad still uses the word coon and my brother supports the BNP so that would be a yes.zombiejoe said:
Homophobes piss me off. I'm straight; but I grew up with and work with gays, and they've always been fun to be around. As for racism, I've never encountered it. Openly, anyway. Maybe it's because I'm such a Heinz 57, nobody can pin down exactly WHAT race I am.
I went on vacation to the coast and had to laugh. I dyed my hair blond before trip, and the innkeeper asked my friend after I left the lobby what part of Europe I was from. For some reason, whenever I dye my hair blond, it makes my skin look really pale.
I think I just need more sun.

Yeah I have, but the weird thing he stated yeah I'm a racist but I have black friends so it's ok.
There's a guy in my sister's form who openly claims to hate white people, and sits in class chanting "America's the devil".
I don't know many overt racists. I live in Metro Detroit, which has more race issues than I can describe, but my friends are mostly secret racists. They think they're not, but they all hold racist attitudes and are completely blind to even the most basic knowledge of race in American society and blame every single problem minority groups suffer on their own lack of a work ethic. These are mostly the friends of mine who were smart enough to get into college but refused or failed out due to their own sloth and will probably be common laborers forever. My friends at school are much more open-minded.
The friends from home like to drop the n-bomb at times, which is a good way for me to kick you out of my house. I have a black uncle. I do not take kindly to the n-word.
I had two friends who were extremely openly racist, and I finally let off. One of them started talking about how Africans look down on black American culture, and I exploded, refused to give him a chance to talk anymore, and silenced him. I think the two of them used racism and anti-religious sentiment to vent the rage of the suffering they've endured at the hands of their families...but I find that excuse to be weak.
I find it particularly amusing when I meet the European or Australian counterparts of my racist friends from home.

Man I must be playing on the racist servers when I play games, Diablo was always funny seeing a game name like "No Jews Allowed" or "See Description" game where the description would be "Goddamn Mexicans Took Our Jobs", you really have to wonder how this gets past Blizzard aside from the fact it's an old game now and they don't care about it.
I think Counter-Strike is one of the worst, though my cousin has had everything from the N word to "I hope you get cancer and die" from MK vs. DC, added that these were all kids aged 14 or under.
For some reason when people get angry they jump right to racism, why they get angry at a game is a mystery to me, and why everyone jumps to racism I could not begin to fathom.
I also agree that it is strange those white people get picked on and called whatever but when they strike back it's either a bullet between the eyes or jail time(I wish I was kidding Canada is funny).

I don't know if anyone i know is actually rascist, but a lot of people who i am acquanted with but i wouldn't really call 'friends' have a habit of using "Jew" or "Muslim" as an insult, which winds me up. But hey, i know most of them well enough to know it's probabley because its ingrained in their heads as an insult, hell i still use "Gay" as a curse word, even though im actually a supporter of Gay rights.
One person i was reasonably friendly with actually walked up to me the day after the incident in London with the Muslim anti-war extremist protests and said "So, are you going to join me in burning some muslims after they burnt those poppies?". I literally lost it and started shouting at him for about a minute. Then there was just stunned silence and, oddly, an applause. I havent really talked to that guy again.
