Race? We're not a race but vegans and vegetarians sure take a lot of flack!
What other answer would be appropriate for the FOOD&DRINK>VEGETARIAN&VEGAN category?

Definitely jewish people. Proof of this is
the holocaust denier summit lead by
David Dukes. As Lillyian said they've
been kicked out of Eastern block countries,
Germany, Middle Eastern countries,
enslaved in Africa(Egypt), harrassed
by skinheads in the states, exiled from
Italy and parts of the Soviet Union.
2nd place goes to Native Americans.
All over Central and South America
they live in poverty and sociopolitical
Apartheid. They were kicked off of
land in the states and moved around
several times from reservation to
reservation everytime the government
found gold, oil or some other ore
on the land they were living on.
3rd place goes to hispanic people-
The U.S. started inviting them over
just after World War 1 started in order
to keep the economy going. For decades
they were welcomed. Now all of the sudden
people yell, " Oh we've got to many. Send
them all back." How would this be convenient
for omnivores considering the fact that 80%
of the slaughterhouse and processing workforce
is comprised of first and second generation
immigrants? How can people hate those who do
all your dirty work and killing for them?
4th place - Asians and blacks due to slavery, jim
crow, internment camps and stereotypes.
Honorable mention goes to GEN-X and GEN-Y
caucasions- They catch flack for everything
Hitler- Jeff Davis- Klansman, slavery owners
and prosegregationists did.
Many in this generation have an enlightened
sense of racial equality and social conciencse
but are not given credit for it.
There are some comics like Chris Rock who
like to throw around the "C" word and then justify
it by saying , "When I say that word it's referring
to white people who cracked whips on their slaves".
That's ignorant. Slavery has been abolished.
Who cracks a whip now? How can anybody
justify making such a broad sweeping indictment
and generalization? How is this any different from
a klansman quailifying his use of the "n" word to
" certain types- but not all black people".
This is a modern day pet peave I have.
P.S. Good question, I had to add to my response
because I didn't have time to get all this off my
chest yesterday.
Thanx

well, it all depends. to me i think EVERY race is harrassed but i think muslims get it the worst; i hear people say "omg, shes gonna blow me up" and other stuff like that and its TERRIBLE! a friend of mine said that she wont get on a plane with someone that looks like osama bin-laden (any muslims/arabs) and thats hard for me to hear since shes black and i KNOW the things that fly around about black people. and another friend of mine was with me while we were shopping and a arabic lady and some of her friends were out together (the lady's friends all had the scarfs on their heads. i know what they are called but im not sure how to spell it) and my friend said "oh, why isnt she all wrappped up like the rest of them?" HOW RUDE?!!!!!!!!! its completely ignorant because the islamic religion is quite peacefuland you CANT go by the zealots and terrorist that you see on the news everyday!!!!!!! same goes for the stereotyping and hate-crimes that happen....i have a theory that in a distant future that everyone might have many ethnicities and race wont matter at all, we'll just be people trying to get through life.

It seems like every race got listed.
I dont think your question has an answer. Its just opinions, and a lot of the opinions have to do on the place where the person is located.

I'm Filipino, and I have been subject to harassment, or have seen many incidents of harassment against Filipinos in Yahoo Answers, perhaps most than any other nationality.
I posted a question asking about fellow Filipino vegetarians and someone answered, calling me cruel and evil-minded.
Someone thinks all Filipinas are prostitutes or are otherwise after caucasian men's money.

Which race?
It would probably be the one where fat guys run the 1/4 mile wearing tutus with a salmon in their mouth.
people just don't seem to believe it's a real sport so they make fun of it quite often.

I don't think it is about race. I think all the minorities in every single country get some kind of harrasement.

Chinese people gets harassed the most. Its mostly because everyone thinks that chinese people don't speak english and won't know what you are saying.
