I have experienced prejudice and discrimination all my life in the good ole U S of of A. I'll give you some examples. Today, I was standing in line in the deli and there was an asian lady in front of me, I was standing behind her with my cart against the produce waiting for my turn. By the way, I'm asian too. Anyway, this caucasion guy cuts in front of me and asks for some kind of meat, being oblivious that he should have ask me if I was in line. And when he was waiting for his meat, after the asian lady left, it was my turn. He said "Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were with her." I said "You assumed that I was with her because I'm also asian." Then he goes "I didn't say anything about you being asian." I was nodding my head "No".I'm thinking in my head that actions speak louder than words.
The other time I was at the library with my son checking out some books waiting in line. This caucasion lady asks if the kid (who was dark skinned) in front of me was my kid (I'm kinda tan too).
