someone had just left me comment saying that because I am not born here and I am Bosnian, they allow me to live my life and know the things I know. It's this Govr. that gave me this chance, but people like this insult me to the core. I am grateful for everything, but why does this racist prick need to feel superior to me for no good reason? Share your stories plese...

Excuse the hell right out of me, I think I made it clear to you the difference between racism and nationalism but I guess I did not. First of all Id have to be one confused person to be a mulatto and be racist against any group. Second, if you got something to say to me about how I feel that youre unqualified to speak on how this country should be run say it to me. The fact is maybe youre continuing with this racism crap because you completely misunderstood my comments due to your limited knowledge of the english language.

Don't let these people bother you. They are everywhere and nothing you say will change their minds. These people are really the minority and not worth worrying about.

In my life I have had to deal with several situations. Been called a cracker, honky, redneck (might have deserved a few of the redneck comments though). Also when people find out I have Cherokee blood I have been called half breed and mutt. Stand up up to some of the more racist individuals I have been called ni**er lover and wigger (my black friends really got a kick out me getting called those). And I have seen some more dangerous situations that I really don't want to get into.

The thing is you can't let it get to you. Most of the time when you deal with this it is in passing and you won't ever see these people again. They don't deserve you giving the time of day to even concider what they think.

Unfortunately, despite what most may tell you, racism is alive and well in the US and I'm willing to bet that 75% of people of all races who claim not to be racist, are lying either to themselves or others. Just look at it in conversation: They may tell you that they're not racist, BUT.... (there goes the evidence to the exact contrary).

I know this is easier said than done, but when you hear hateful speech like this so gratuitously, the first thing you need to keep in mind is that this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, and EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THEMSELVES.

And that doesn't just go for racism, but anyone who attacks you because of any differences you have with them, whether they're cultural, political, religious, etc.. Such people were never truly taught tolerance, and many were taught outright intolerance.

Two black guys found a machine that would turn them white. It cost 25 cents. The first black guy had 26 cents and second black guy and 24. The second black guy turns to the first "you go through first and once you turn white give me your change and then I'll go through." The first agreed and stepped through the machine. And suddenly a bright light shone and the first black guy was now white! the second black guy was amazed and very excited "now give me your change so I can become white also!" "***** off you shoddy ***_ger!"

When I moved to england a new friend in my new middle school told me this joke (i'm white and so was she) thinking that I would laugh and that it was a guinely funny joke. I was shocked and did not know how to act. I thought: "Is this what the English people think about black people?" Now i know that it is not all english people but just how she was raised. She was so innocent she did not know that it was wrong.

Racism and prejudice is everywhere. They are the bullies in grade school that grew up.

I am a loan officer and I was accused of being racist because I denied a man's loan. He actually screamed and used horrible language over the phone and threatened me. He wouldn't even listen to the fact that I had no idea who he was and was only going by his credit report to make a decision. I couldn't tell what color he was - in the end, all I really knew was that he was a butt head - and they come in EVERY color.

I saw those comments, they were terrible. I'm sorry someone said that to you, most Americans aren't like that.

Anyhow, one of my grandparents was partially Jewish, and my maiden name was Jewish. I am mostly Scottish & Norwegian, and look it. Very ghostly pale & freckly, red hair. So, all the time when I was growing up, people used to say, "Your name is Steinberg? But you don't LOOK Jewish?". Noone ever meant it offensively (although it is a stereotype), I got used to it, it didn't bother me. Then, I moved out of my home town, and really ran into anti-semitism.

Although that was your question, I really don't want to repeat the things I was told. Really awful things, like was I hiding pennies up my female parts to keep them safe, stuff like that. The bad part was that I think they really thought I WAS, you know? People can be so ignorant and horrible. One guy actually called me a "Christ Killer" (I was Lutheran).

That really wiped out any residual bit of racism I had in me.

The sooner you let idiots stop getting to you the better off you will be. Who cares what the as*hole says. He is getting to you so he is winning. Be proud of who you are! Color of skin or ethnic background means nothing and intelligent people know this. I bet you are a great person and have many more friends than that loser.

Blonde Jokes.
Real blonds are a minority. A very small sector of society. Yet people openly reticule them.

Redheads with green eyes are the rarest of all humanity If they were animals scientist would stick them in cages and watch them breed.

I get this kind of crap all of the time...."are you Mexican?" When I reply that I am Italian they look at me like they are not sure whether to believe me or not. People can be such jerks. I don't feel that I have to offer an explanation when people question me about something of that offensive nature.
