Well if going in to apply for a job and they ask are you bilingual, and you know they're not implying any other language but spanish. Then i guess so

Yes, I was discriminated against in my current job because I am white. They really, really did not want to hire me because of my race and even marked me down on points I obviously should have had during the hiring process (I have a Master's Degree in a related field and received the same points for education as someone with only an Associates in an unrelated field)--in addition to the racial preference points I couldn't get because I'm white (they award 25 pts. for being of a particular race). I only got the job because the two people (non-white) above me in points declined to accept the job. Once I got here, everyone was nice and I haven't been discriminated against now that I've proved myself, however.

Yes. I am white. I have had people say incredibly assuming, cruel things to me, simply because I was white. I also lost getting a job once because they needed to hire a black person to fill a quota (I later learned the truth through the grape-vine - I was the most qualified, but the wrong color).
I can honestly say I am kind to all people regardless of race. That's how I was brought up, plain and simple. I think anyone of any race can carry racial bias and predjudice. I think anyone can hate people of another race unfairly. I think anyone can be a victim of it, regardless of race.

Yes... its even worse when its your own race because they know how it is and its incredible that they would still do it to you...

Nope. The accusation arises when you are being honest.
