Answer 3

I remember one time I was at work, which is in retail, a guy who works in manufacturing came to talk to someone in my department about the shirts. . Well, he looked at me and then asked, "are you the only one here?" I responded with, "yes, I am". He became extremely frustrated and then was like, "oh well I had to explain something about these shirts". I told him that he could just explain it to me. It really offended me that he though I couldn't comprehend the information he was about to tell me. What made it worse was that the problem involving the shirts wasn't even complicated! So, he automatically assumed I was dumb.

Other than that, it's the usual. I get profiled in stores like any other minority.

Answer 8

Being half white half asian....the white side of my family has taunted me and my language, saying that I'm inferior and all...

They constantly make the slant-eyed joke and in photos of me and them, they're all making their eyes slanted.  It's really really demeaning.  

Heh, the ironic thing is that I've been offered modeling opportunities and I am a straight A student in college.  They themselves....well a few went to jail, some had babies in their teenage years, and many are failing school.

And they say I'm "inferior"???

s***w them.  

Answer 9

My older sister was at the store with one of her friends and her boyfriend.  Her boyfriend was carrying her friend's earrings for her, but he had to tie his shoes while he tied his shoes he keep his hand with the earrings up.  But this co-worker came to him saying she was going to call the cops on him, because he was trying to steal from her.  But he wasn't he was just tied his shoes.  They kept trying to tell her that he wasn't trying to steal from her he was just tied his shoes.  But she kept giving them attitude saying they were lying to her. My older sister start fussing at her saying you are only doing this, because we are black.  The co-worker kept saying don't play the race card on me, because I'm Colombian.  That chick had blond hair, tanned skin, and blue eyes.  I hope she know Colombian is her nationality not her race.  She can still be white, but anyways not all white are racist and you don't have to be white to be racist.  So I really don't know what she is talking about.  The funny part about this is my older sister and her friend and boyfriend just saw a white lady run in and took something off the self and run out.  The co-worker didn't even notice since she is too busy checking black people out.  People need to stop thinking every black people is going to steal from them, because we are not.

Answer 12

We were studying slavery in a school that was 98% black & I got beat up 6 times by my classmates because I'm white!!! My family was in Germany until WW2, They never owned slaves!!!

Answer 13

I was taking a train from Gifu to Nagoya in Japan. The train was only half full but filled up quickly. A business man found a seat for his girlfriend next to me and told her "douzo" sit here to which she replied 'yada yada" no it's disgusting.

That almost made me cry.  A  middle aged woman who had witnessed everything from the corner of her eye came and sat next to me. The businessman  was embarrassed but in their culture drawing anymore attention to the thing by apologizing  would make it worse but I caught his slight apologetic bow.

That was a constant issue in Japan the Japanese really do believe they are more refined and cultured then Americans (and they may be) But I'm not going to get holier-then-thou on anyone because Americans are the most obnoxious people in the world, you don't realize until you see them overseas somewhere.

One time My family and I were at a restaurant in West Virginia and they refused to serve us and kept giving us dirty looks. Also some kids at my old school kept calling my sister a ch*nk. They didn't even get the race right...

But normally I don't have any trouble (I'm mixed enough that sometimes people aren't sure what I am).

Answer 17

Back in '93, I was laid off from a job I had for 7 years due to lack of gov't contracts.  A friend of mine was a 'head hunter' and knew of a company looking for someone with my credentials.  We went over my resume and he had me fill out some forms.  The company said I was what they were looking for.  I went in for the interview and was told I'd be called when the final decision was made, either way. Well, Jim called me and said, "You have all the right qualifications they want except for one.  You didn't hear this from me, and the HR rep will deny she said it, too.  You're not the right color."   Good thing, too because 2 years later, the company went into bankruptcy   It was so bad, one of the employees I know went down to buy some material for a job.  The company wouldn't extend anymore credit.  So he went back to his office and they gave him the money out of petty cash.  The business said they'd take the money, but only to apply it to the account.  That's how bad off they were.  Some people never got the rest of their salary when the company died.  I got the job I have now, and have had it for over 15 years now.
