Being Asian on ATRL

Yep. In Japan, I was with three other white guys and one Japanese girl and we were at a cafe, and the Japanese girl went outside to take a call. The waiter was like basically hiding in the kitchen waiting for her to return, because she (the waiter) kept poking her head out of the kitchen door to blatantly looking to see if our Japanese friend had returned. She took ages so finally we just yelled out (in Japanese) that we can speak it (well, enough to order some f-ing coffees anyway) and she came over not nearly as embarrassed as she should have been.

If you're an Asian gay guy on ATRL, you have no idea how much I want you.

I LOVE Don't Be A Menace

And yes, that's what happened to me at Wal-Mart while I was walking out the slide door, the cashier chased me down and told me to empty my pockets. All my homies were going in on the cashier and I was just standing there in shock and offended, so I just kept walking. They thought I stole a pack of gum, A PACK OF GUM!

I had a dream that I was jogging in my neighborhood and suddenly these white people came out of their house and chased me with chainsaws, calling me racial slurs. I haven't been able to sleep since.

But in reality, I've been racially profiled before based on music taste/the way I act

Yes, these gypsy gals were such bitches to my black best friend. Our rock throwing tho >

Omg! My Life story

Just last year, I had to go to this area that is mostly whites to buy something off this guy,
I stopped by a store to get a tool that I need, and they didn't have it so I left,

the store manager and this bagger followed me ALL The way to my car and asked me to empty my pockets.

I'm like dude, my salary is probably more than you and your baggers combined I don't need to steal from a hardware store

The audacity of some of these racists nowadays! And the way he came up to me like a power ranger.

It's sad because things like this actually happen in real life

Not this being my thoughts in their entirety.

OMG! YES! He literally chased me down saying "Hey you! In the black shirt", I turned around all confused and he told me to empty my pockets! Like c'mon! If I'm gonna steal something, I'm gonna rob a bank, not Wal-Mart! But then again, I work for my own ****! I don't need free handouts

ME TOO EVERY ****ING DAY



This is so ****ing disgusting, i totally feel for you, it's beyond disgusting what some people think they could get away with, and if you don't comply with there so called "joking" they get annoyed & say it was a joke.

I myself can tell my boss treated me completely different to every other employee, He never taught me let alone let me touch the cashier thinking i'd steal his stank money, And he inevitably fired me due to the fact of like $300 missing even though i didn't have access to his ****ing registers. i went HAM on him afterwards tho

not me being partially dutch and would place a mother****er in their place if they even tried to bring any of this **** up w/ me

no i'm white

Nah never happened to me or anyone of my friends really. Well, there's very little racism here for all I notice. Most of us are white though

Never. And I am black.

Not in real life, but very often here on ATRL!

I never experienced it as a child. I guess I was "protected" by multiple-cultural environment.

But, at age fourteen, I had the veil lifted and had an ugly experience while studying at a friend's house (her name is Monica). Our study group included 3 white kids, a black girl, and myself (Afro-Latina). One of my white friends made an inappropriate/vulgar joke that the adults in that house were able to hear. Somehow they pinned it on me and my black girl friend. Monica's mom was livid and said that she wanted those "two n.... out of her house and to never come back". She then referred to me as a "half-breed". Needless to say, we left and never went back to that den of racism. My friend Monica was mortified and apologized for it profusely.

Other instances had to do with a couple of rude customers at a previous job telling me to "go back to Mexico or Puerto Rico", even though that's not even my heritage, all because of my Spanish last name

Last, and the worst in my opinion, happened on a Friday night in Prague while on Summer vacation with some friends. We were harassed by some drunken Neo-nazis who called us all sorts of names in Czech and English. One of them even spat at us and then threw a glass bottle against the floor. So damn rude and scary, tbh.

It's just part of life, I guess.

Dang, this was a tl;dr sort of essay. My apologies.

Yes atrl being insensitive towards white people often. But I don't really give a ****
