I've been threatened and yelled at by Hawai'ians and black people who hate "whitey." ("Haole" is Hawai'ian for "whitey.") I was once laid off from a job in favor of a black guy, just because I'm white. There are plenty of racist blowholes of all colors on the Web.
But I don't bear any ill will against those of any color or ethnic group. I know that the racists are a small minority of any group, and most people let reason and rationality guide their actions. The USA is basically colorblind.
Dr. King put it best: we should be judged by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.

People who experience racism, experience it in different ways, sometimes it's up and in your face, sometimes it's done subtlety, like being ignored while waiting to be served, only for all the folk to be served simply because your skin tone is a little darker or richer in colour. It just depends on the extremes people go to, to show they are racist, it is also down to ignorance.

some of my friends are very racist, i have heard them say things like "i think its' okay to hate someone because of their race." or when someone at their job made a mistake they said "it was probably some mexican." I really hate it when they do that kind of stuff and sometimes i try to show them how stupid they are being. but they just don't listen
