At the end of the day, we're all humans though. I've always been of the belief that the more we label race and focus on the negatives, we can't move forward. Sure we should acknowledge the past, but we shouldn't live in it. We as humans need to adapt, and face that we are becoming increasingly more diverse, mixing with other races, and exchanging cultures. MLK said it best when he said we need to judge people by the content of their character and not the color of the skin. To me, skin color means nothing, and race should neither. Yes, we have these societal standards, but the world would be a lot better off looking past the surface.

Me too. Nothing wrong with that at all. But this doesn't have anything to do with racisms beginnings in this country.

I said the MINDS in which those comments are formed kill people.
Nothing but the truth.
It's so many got damn Whites in here defending themselves against something they don't even deal with and then telling others not to be emotional about what they deal with, because it's "not that bad".

The regular: Do You Speak French??
+ there was this one time when I went to India and I was in a queue and these guys were literally GAZING at me. I swear, I could feel the closest one's breath on my skin. They would then speak Indian between themselves and ask me some ****in' rude questions.
Also, one of them threw his can of juice at me and told me, "fetch monkey", oooohhhh, did I punch that guy!!
Ya, just random shiz

Had a drunk frat guy tell me to get my "sand n***** ass out of my country!". I am half Indian/half white, and not Muslim.
He was promptly knocked on his ass my some other guy, so it was ok.

'Them' is a quarter of me. I'm not deceived by anyone. I'm just arguing against the stupid notion that only black people can experience racism.

It hasn't just been white people saying that stuff though. Or are you going to accuse them of being white or self-loathing because they hold a different opinion than you?

Not an accusation, an accurate observation.

There is not such think as Racism against white people because they are the majority. ( Unless you live in a country where white people aren't the majority), you can't be racist against a majority.
What I just said above isn't only a personal belief. It's based on the field of Sociology's definition of Racism.

As we all know, racism is a sensitive topic in many places, including ATRL. It can bring out deep emotions, such as hurt, anger, and confusion. But as humans, we feel better when we share, talk, communicate, and vent out. This thread is to share our experiences with racism, and to put aside are differences to understand each other and to help each other heal.
I'll start:
- On a trip to Miami, I was with some friends, and naturally, we were speaking German amongst ourselves. A few American teens nearby (they were also white, FYI) heard us speaking in our language. They, apparently, though we couldn't speak English, so they laughed and said that they wished us Germans would stop coming like droves to visit Florida, and that we should attack somewhere else. Of course, I understood them, and "CLOCKED" them. They were embarrassed, and I got satisfaction when I made them spend just a few of their coins on me, but proceeded to throw the McDonalds coffee they bought me in the trash.
-Another time was when I was with my family, and we were walking, and again, talking in German. This random person started shouting, "The Germans are coming! They Germans are coming!" To this day, I don't know if he was joking or actually racist.
Now share your stories. |
What you've experienced isn't racism, it's xenophobia.
Please don't get those two mixed because true victims of racism had it much worse than you, white girl.
Bye.

Well Im black, and I was unfortunately taught to envy the white man. Yes I have experienced racism, of course, but I just let go and forget. More blacks need to learn to do the same.
