Some dumb saleslady was stalking me in her boutique. The clothes were lame and too expensive, but now they're closed, gee, I wonder why. Maybe it was because they live near my reservation and about 90% of the shoppers are Native Americans.

No, but I can give examples on how I (white) have been discriminated against! When applying for a post office job when I got out of the service in 1970, even wiht military preferrence points, I was told that I was the wrong color, and if I was black or mexican I would be higher on the list to be hired! Or because I was white that I didn't get into the college of my choice because the spots that wee open were left for "minorities"!

i am white, and have been discriminated from and by white people.
The KKK will discriminate anything that looks like jewish doctrine yet they believe in the same God who was a god of the jews.
i have been fired and layed off from many jobs because of my zealous actions in preaching and teaching as a witness of Jesus christ.
i have had a hundred jobs and more, because of the evil that is always around me.
my last job, i was a member of the Union for cashiers, and lo and behold there were many people of evil character who designed and conspired against my mental well being while i worked as a cahsier they would come in and poison the very air i breath. and cause extreme menal disorders and mood swings. They discriminated against unto the point of unrighteous persecutions.
They are the criminals.
I had the right to work, and these people took it away from because of their conspiracy to destroy my mind. I prayed to God they would be destroyed. because i am powerless to defend myself and dont believe in fighting back

I was buying Christmas gifts at Walmart, when my check would not go thru, which later they found out was a register problem- the white cashier- told me that maybe I should put some money in the bank before trying to make purchases. I asked why she thought I did not have any money, she said ("well, during this time of year we get most people of your race in here making hot checks" ) . I am hispanic, I was very offended and I am glad I am well educated and knew how to defend myself. The manager fired her that same day.

one day my husband and i drove to houston tx to buy a louis vuitton bag and we went into the lv store in the galleria mall to purchase this bag for me. we walked up to the counter and their were 3 sales clerks behind the counter, two of them were helping 2 white customers and the other was not helping anyone. we walked up to the counter and the last clerk ignored us. the customers were finished "looking" and the first 2 clerks walked away from the counter. we still were not offered help. i walke over to a clerk that was helping another guy and explained to her what had just happened. she offered to help us but i declined because they stereotyped us and thought we were "just looking" when actually we drove all the way from louisiana to houston ONLY to buy an $800 purse. we did not buy that purse but we did walk over to coach a purchased 2 purses that i love and the black ladies working in coach were very helpful.
it kinda makes you bitter towards white people for stuff like this but i am the bigger person so oh well. they lost an $800 sale.
and believe me, things like this happens all the time!

White kids all over America are discriminated against by white/any color admissions departments at most colleges. Think about Affirmative Action. My daughter had a heck of a time getting into college but several of her black peers (2 admittedly had lower test scores and a lower GPA) were admitted and she was wait-listed.
How fair is that?

Everyone is descriminated against by everyone. I'm white, but white people have told me that I'm too white.. that "If I'd been alive and German when Hitler was around that I would have been allowed to live" I think that's pretty awful.. but in some form or another, everyone is descriminated against by someone else.

Yes! A white girl spit on me! So I leaped on her and broke her jaw, pounded her head onto the cement ground until she loss consciousness and then I stomped her. When the police got there, one was white and one was black. My parents came outside to explain what happened and because I was much younger then the girl that spit on me, they gave her a fine. Of course that was after the paremedics woke her @ss up! But I don't hate white people because of this experience because I know that there is good and bad in all colors.

My cousin and I went to the mall when she came here for vacation last year, and she didn't speak English since she lives in Colombia.
I was talking to her in Spanish when we walked into a Cartier store just for kicks to see how much all the cool jewels and stuff cost. We were just looking and there were about 20 people there, not including employees. They were all white.
My cousin and I were being followed and tailed as if they expected us to steal something just because we were Hispanic.

I was discriminated by white rappers. They should stick to making boy band songs.
