I'd just like to hear some of your experiences with racism or prejudice. How did it make you feel? What did you do? What do you think is the best way of dealing with those ignorant people?

It really disgusts me the way people are. I often have to deal with a lot of ignorant people's misguided comments about Arabs. It makes me feel really sorry for the human race.

Thank you Ashley H, for proving the kind of misguided views, and the kind of crap I get put though that I was talking about earlier. I think I know more than you about Arabs and whether to feel sorry for them, being one myself. It seems to me like you have NEVER met an Arab in your life, and yet you think you know everything. Turn off your American news and start learning some sense.

Ashley, I have a friend I went to junior high and high school with who happens to be muslim. He is now a medical doctor doing his residency and is about the farthest thing you can imagine from a terrorist. Views like yours poison society.

the only ingredient it does is makes me extra conscious that there are nevertheless ppl with that form of thinking or sentiment in the direction of others. once I step far flung from the computing device I go away all of those comments and questions alongside with it. In my day after day life I work together with many form of ppl and actually have not had that many undesirable reports so I actually won't enable what some trolls and whats up possibly even some official ppl who ensue to have racist perspectives paint all the different ppl of their race or team interior the comparable stroke. yet like I reported it makes me extra conscious or warn you should assert

the one blatant example of racism that i experienced was when i was about 14 years old, in school uniform. A group of white men, at least 6 of them called me a black *****. It was totally unprovoked and it really shook me up - imagine a group of adults picking on a schoolchild like that
the other example i recall was when my family were planning to move to Earlsfield ...my dad had obviously already been to see the house, so he later invited us kids down to give our opinions. When we got there there was loads of racist grafitti all over the walls. We never moved there in the end
Edit* HEY WHY THE THUMBS DOWN?? it really happened! am i not even allowed to tell the truth??

dont really encounter racism like dat cuz i try to do thangs were i feel comfortable. i dont go to white owned restaurants i dont go to white clubs, i dont live in a strictly white neighborhood etc etc. i choose my own world which is a world full of color. i dont understand why some black folks choose to wanna force integration down the throats of white people in white establishments when there are many black ones (in chicago anyway). i enjoy food from ethiopian restaurants, jamaican, african, but i never go to white restaurants.
so all in all, i avoid places were i know i might have to catch a case if someone acts up

Sure. I don't know why, but I'm half Spanish from Spain, and one guy called me a ****** for that reason. But I didn't take it seriously, I laughed at him, because he gave a WRONG interpretation for my race.
That's about it because I'm never racist to anyone...I like to keep things at peace with everyone. =)

As I was growing up, in So. Ca. in Brentwood, being Jewish, I encountered alot of prejudice. There were alot of ignorant Catholics, calling me "Christ killer" Some parents wouldn't let their kids play with me or my bro. I became a Born Again Christian in 1970. But it still hurts to think of the prejudice we went thru.My mom told us to tell people we weren't Jewish..

Both experienced.
Realized how ignorant they were.
Ignored them and moved on.
