    There was a homeless guy that walked around downtown and I'd hear stories from others (always white males) how he'd walk up and cuss them out while calling them every racial name in the book.

    One day while waiting for the bus, "my time" had come. The bad thing is that you're standing in this line and you're just a non-moving target. He came up and got 6 inches from my face and started screaming every swear word mixed with every racial name imaginable. I just prayed for "my time" to pass. Once he was done, off he went.

    OT...
    There were quite a few stories about the homeless downtown but the strangest was the time we were looking out the window and there was a guy that would run out in the middle of the street and looked like he was getting ready for a race. Then he ran back to the sidewalk when cars would pass. Then we noticed on his 2nd attempt at "on your mark" what he was doing. Dropping his drawers and dropping a deuce - right there in the middle of the street. Once he left his mark (you could see the pile from the 6th floor), he pulled up his pants and walked away - no wipe. Why that had to be done in the middle of the street, I don't know. I guess so no one would step in it...

    Went to a company sponsored diversity training seminar a while back.

    White instructor: " you must have been subjected to a lot of prejudices. "

    Me: " No. "

    He walked away scratching his head disappointed.

    im white and ive had racial slurs thrown at me dozens of times. the kinds of things that if turned around, i would get my ass kicked for saying (and rightfully so).

    i used to work in a restaurant (owned by a prominent texas sports legend who shall remain nameless). i heard him use racial slurs against white people all the time. one of his good friends was the head "chef" and refused to hire white people in the kitchen. thats not my assumption either, he actually said "i dont hire white people, yall have the front of the house". only blacks and hispanics (mostly illegal aliens). we did have 2 or 3 black waiters, but the majority was white college students who i realize could piss off cooks quite often with their attitudes. however, the entire kitchen would just go off on all kinds of racial slurs and even would sing a song called "i hate white people". the lyrics went "i hate white people, i hate white people"...pure poetry.

    The other day I was posting on my favorite basketball fan site and the topic was the college 10% rule. Some guy said that kids at Bellaire HS were more intelligent than kids at Madison HS and thats the only reason why Bellaire kids have better grades. :D

    Seriously, my freshman colllege roomate told me that "the cream will rise to the top" when I asked him how does he account for corporate executives being mostly middle-aged white men. He wasn't my roomate in the spring.

    Eerily, these two stories are not much different.

    I got the whole "wigger" treatment throughout highschool. But only from other whites. That didn't bother me.


    What hurt was when the other brothers from some other mothers would go into "kill whitey" mode with me standing in the same group.


    The double standards are most definitely in every people group.


    My whole deal was that we are all the same race... human. We just have different levels of the same chemical in our skin... and some different "backgrounds."

    As I understand it, we all go back to Noah's kids. ;)

    Aside from hearing "chink" a lot in school, and "ching-chong-yang-wah-ah-soh", I also heard "Go back to Pearl Harbor!" I'm Chinese.

    Women always ask my ex-girlfriends if I have a small penis. :rolleyes: Seems like everyone believes that one.

    F*ck. This is the best thread to bring out someone's race without an:

    Are you:
    * Black
    * White
    * Hispanic
    * Asian
    * Indian
    * Other (explain)

    POLL (public, of course). :eek:
    Anyway, no, I have never been called anything RACIST. :D

    Hahaha! Thats freaking funny. There was a guy in midtown that would stand in the middle of the street at night and whack off every once in a while. The first time I was really drunk smoking a stog on my balcony and didnt notice him until I was done. I laughed and walked inside. A week or two later I saw him again when I was plastered. This time I grabbed a basebell and hit him right in the back of the head from 3 floors up. He was facing the other side of the streeet. He had his pants around his ankles and was hollering at a another apt. complex.

    Oddly enough, I've found those I know who claim to be the most tolerant (i.e. the most bleeding heart of bleeding hearts) to be the most racist (at least in what they say).

    There have been many times where I've been sitting around (I look hispanic but I'm only part hispanic) and have had people go out of their way to make sure I know how tolerant they are. However, they do it by saying things such as "He's so well spoken" or "You can't even tell he's ______." I think they're trying to be 'tolerant' but in doing so, they exposed their minimal expectations of non-whites.

    So your username "halfbreed" really means something? Who knew?

    Is that self-racism, or self-stereo typing? :confused:

    I remember back in high school I was sitting in the gym talking to a friend when a $hit kicking red neck starts going on about how I must know every fish in the sea because he thought I was Asian.

    Then he insulted my friend with a Hispanic racial remark. The thing is we were both Hispanic and perfectly capable of doing him a lot of bodily harm. Here is this dumb cowboy insulting two guys who would whip his ass one on one and he's stupid enough to insult both of us at the same time.

    My friend and I just looked at each other, laughed, and kept talking about what ever we were talking about. Being racist can make you brave and stupid. :D :D

    I have some Bosnian-Serb and Russian in me. People would call me communist, war junkie, murderer, pie face.

    I'm so white it hurts. Sometimes my 2 black roommates call me cracker-ass cracker... But that's only because I ask them to because it's freaking hilarious. Or in the office, I'll go into an impression of dave chapelle doing the white news guy for my whatever ethnicity coworkers. Man, I have no reason to be offended about anything someone says to me. They're just words. But there are some people with psychological problems out there, which is unfortunate.

    "i bet u have tons of video games in ur house" - my friend (white)

    "OMG~! We got a Yao Ming on our team~!" - my teammate in a pick-up game(black)

    "How could u let that chinese ****** (me) jumped over you and ripped that rebound away from u! u ******!" - an opponent (black) saying it to his teammate (black) in a pick-up game

    "Asians are dominating this school because most of them have no lives other than going to school every day (including saturday & sunday) " - my classmate (white)

    Beg to differ. Hispanics are Whites. Perhaps you need to elaborate/clarify.

    The question of the thread is the MOST racist thing said or done to you. You listed several which indicated you didn't read the question properly.

    If you're Asian (which I doubt), you would be too smart to misunderstood this.

    i've only had the "white trash/white boy" treatment...maybe a bit of the "cracker" thrown in as well. it never bothers me, the only thing that does bug me about it is that the people who have jokingly called me it (at my university) are friends of mine who get offended when they're called "******."

    if you can dish it out - then take it.
    if you can't take it - then don't dish it out.
