Answer 1

A friend and I went to this restaurant in a hickish town when we were in college. I was asian and he had dyed his hair blue. THe old fogies there just wouldn't stop staring.

Answer 2

Yes. Many a time. The most recent one is at my friends wedding. Its a sit down ball room wedding. So, guests were seated 10 to a round table and food served (Chinese food) to them. I only know the groom and nobody else. I dont know how I was placed at this table of all places , (maybe according to my age group). Only 2 couples knew each other and the rest were strangers. However, they have something in common. They kept talking about politics and hostages. I am out of touch with subjects and felt very akward. Even gave opinion on Indian and Taiwan issues. Sensing my discomfort or silence, some of them asked what I feel about certain issues once in a while but I just said I did not watch the news. Wondered what they would think or said of me if I told them I only visit Yahoo Answers... LOL.... Worst wedding of my life.

this is basically trolling for the main area. have you ever observed that the trolls ask each and every of a similar questions persistently returned? they are additionally all on point a million, suitable? Trolls intend to make you indignant so do no longer enable them to! Stereoypes are area of existence, i like to disprove them sometimes. I used to get so aggravated at each and every of the racist black human beings questions yet now I even have discovered to snigger. certainly "genuine-existence" racists are particularly lacking out on existence and trolls are pathetic. everybody who says that racism does not exist is basically naïve. Racism is extremely genuine and it ought to no longer bypass away till there is not any hatred or injustice. we ought to continually prepare recognition of people who're diverse, this is not any longer particularly that tricky. in the long-term we tend to understand that we are all very plenty alike! exposure to diverse human beings is a few thing that should ensue early on in existence. I grew up around specifically whites and in no way fairly considered race as a factor of my identity for an prolonged time. each and every person has diverse reviews and additionally imperfections this is uncomplicated to choose isn't it? we are all improper, racist human beings do no longer nessecarily ought to be racist for existence.

Shoot -- I was in a punk band and we booked a gig that turned out to be at a Christian church, and we were to perform during the course of a church gathering. The frickin' bassist was a Christian and he thought he'd convert us or something. We just played our songs & it had nothing to do with God or Jesus.
