Yep.
A black lady I worked with accused me of cheating at work & stated all white people were like that.
To this day I still do not know what the hell she was talking about. I was written up by our manager because of her lie.

Yes...and it was reverse discrimination. I am white and have actually been verbally assaulted by blacks many times because i was a white person. But this is a rare occurance and I don't ever let it get to me. Racism still exists in many forms today, but it is nowhere near the level that it used to be. I think a great majority of Americans are past the differences of skin color (among other things). However, the ones who are truly racist and hateful make sure that you know about it. They are very vocal.

I live in a neighborhood where white is the minority, and I experience mild racism every day, and sometimes it borders on extreme. Any time I drive around in my part of town, I get dirty looks from the damn illegal immigrants (AKA mexicans), and I have nearly gotten into several fights at the gas station and liquor store because some black dude didn't like the fact that I was white.
I got tired of my people feeling as if we were the only ones who had to be PC and equal opportunity. So yes, I repay their hate for my people with hate for theirs. . .but on a one on one basis I do give people the benefit of the doubt, but I would never consider someone who is not of my people a close or dear friend.

One, when i was about 12 and i was on disneyland, i bougth a soda and they girl asked me a question and i didnt understand her so she got upset and yell at me repeating the question over and over until i get it..... too bad i didnt know i could call her supervisor and told her/him that this person was mean to me.
And many times when i need to cross the border some border officials are really mean with some mexican people who dont speak nor understand English, they (the border officials) say a lot of nasty things about mexican people and i can understand all, unfortunately.

Of course... Do you want to know what it's like? It's real, it's ugly, but it's a fact of life that's always going to follow you around so you take it with you and grow with the experience of being different. For a kid it's the toughest because you don't really know what to do or how to react to someone who hates you or wants to harm you for what you are (or what they THINK you are)... You just feel angry and helpless because you can't make sense of it, but as you grow up you learn to adapt and find ways to cope because it's a part of what you are and you've got to learn to live with it.

My neighbor has been harassing me since I moved in, I found out last weekend it is because I have bi-racial children.
They feel discriminated against at school, if it continues this year- I am skipping calling the principal and school board and just calling a lawyer!

When i want to renew my ID card, the stupid official said that i need to pay more, because I am a Chinese, although I was born, live in Indonesia and my nationality is Indonesia....
check this :

On May 1998, many Chinese were murdered, burnt alive, raped, etc.. check this :
