Have you ever experienced any Racism?

Question

What did you do about it?

Answer 1

Yes. Many times. I live in GA where racism is a sad fact of life(as well as in other places too). When I was 15, I was at a vending machine deciding what I wanted. I moved back one step and bumped into a girl that I knew(who happened to be white). I didn't know she was there until I bumped into her. She became angry because a dollar was knocked out of her hand. I tried to tell her it was an accident, although I was mad at ther for yelling at me. She called me a loud-mouthed "n" word. I called her out on it. Another friend of her's tried to insure me that the girl didn't say anything. I turned the girl in to the pricipal. The principal didn't punish her, mostly because he didn't believe me. The irony of this incident was that I was friends with this girl and her friend for years. Quite sad, but it showed me who my real friends were.
Another incident happened when I was 16. I walked into a classroom. I boy(who was also white) made this comment "You're black, but you don't talk like it". It was rather disturbing. I called him out on it. He tried to defend what he was saying, responding " I was just saying". I look back on what happened and those experiences made me more aware of human nature.

Answer 2

Yes, and it was weird because I would be considered "white". I was in line in Target and the cashier was a young black girl. The family ahead of me was black. She fawned over them, asking them how the shopping trip was, if she could help them with anything, telling them she had a blessed day. Telling them to have a blessed day. I don't think she knew them there wasn't that kind of familiarity. But when my turn came up, I smiled and asked how she was, she refused to meet my eye, wouldn't answer me, didn't ask me how I was, no friendliness at all. When I left she didn't say have a nice day, blessed day, screw you or anything. I had never seen such a total turn around in personality. It was sad to see such a young girl with such a big chip on her shoulder.

Answer 3

Yes, I come from South-Africa and that is probably one of the countries with the most racism

Answer 4

Not toward me personally, but I remember shortly after 9-11 I was walking under a bridge and saw these words scribbled on the wall- "Die, Arabs" "d*mn Arabs," etc. So I picked up a white rock and scratched them out as best as I could.
I felt a bit self-conscious while doing it, but now I don't think I did the wrong thing.

Oh, and I'm not Arabic, I'm actually white/NA mix.

Answer 5

particular, as a white, once I got here to stay in England from South Africa as a toddler, the black toddlers right here referred to as me "n****r-basher". My kin have been so un-racist, that I had never even heard the be conscious until now and did no longer even recognize what it meant. additionally, we got here from a non-segregated component to South Africa, we did no longer have television in SA in those days, our college grow to be blended, our church grow to be blended and we had blended-race households in the city, so i did no longer even recognize what apartheid grow to be. regrettably, once I have been given to nicely known the locals in England, of all colorings, i got here upon what authentic racism grow to be. The community whites have been far extra abusive to the community coloureds than I had ever considered in SA. seems SA would have had apartheid, yet racism grow to be extra rampant in Europe and the rustic.
