I believe it. I'm from a small town in PA that has only started to grow again and become more diverse in its population in the last decade or so. I've seen the change happen in my lifetime, and there's a ton of ignorant and hateful people there. Lots of the "Pennsyltuckey" folks.

That said, I know a ton of white people who fear black people regardless of what they're wearing or doing, to the point where it's downright humorous. If you see a black man in a suit getting into a BMW, he is not going to steal your fucking wallet, so get your hand away from your back pocket. Unless, of course, he wants to take a look inside so he can laugh and give it back to you, and then drive off in his BMW.

I don't think I've ever experienced anti-white racism directed at me in my life. Unless you count the hot black girl in one of my classes a few semesters back who wouldn't give me the time of day, but I think that has more to do with me being a lowlife degenerate than anything else. :cry: Well, that or when they give me a fork by default in Chinese restaurants. Oh, the bigotry!

I shop in markets in Chinatown a lot, and I eat at a number of restaurants there where they know me and my friends, in some, the waiters know our usual orders. Have they made comments about the scummy white kids to each other before? Could be, but they treat us nicely and we get the same service everyone else does. I don't really care what they say as long as that is true.

Though, I will admit that there is one distinct time I felt like an outsider when I got off the train in Dorchester late at night and not only was I the only white guy around, I had elicited stares from several groups of people in the area. I found myself wondering what they were thinking, or if it was even safe for me to be there. I had a bad feeling that I couldn't shake, and even though I told myself that it was in my head, it remained. There aren't many situations that I've been the minority in, and I didn't like it. Something to think about, I guess.

racism has nothing to do with having power, and has everything to do with ignorance, it's the ignorant people out there that are racists, poor as dirt southern red necks have no power and yet theyre some of the biggest racists out there (no not all of them but look theres an assload of it there)

I've encountered racism cause I'm white, the worst of it came during College when I had to take a Racism and Sexism class, which should have been a class to discuss the current state of said ism's in america today and instead became a white males are the source of all evil in the world and if they would just go away everything would be perfect class. It all came from ignorance and from people not educated in other cultures. Some of it was just so retard, I remember one chick saying there should be a white tax, that if your white you have to pay into this tax that would go to minorities because all white people were racists, I mean it was just stupid ignorant comments like that, I was white so my ancestors must have owned slaves, when I said I was italian and my family came to america long after slavery was abolished in this country i got told some one in my ancestory had to have owned slaves cause I was white. It was all just stupid shit, I just couldnt get mad at it cause it was so fucking stupid Ijust laughed it off and felt sad for the people who thought that way.

I was lucky enough to grow up in an area that was insanely diverse, I grew up with friends and aquantinces from almost every race, creed, sexual orientation and it taught me at a young age that it was only a few ignorant people from each group that were racists, that these comments from those people didn't represent any group as a whole

One can only hope that as education standards improve and our society moves towards more and more of a global comunity that people will become less ignorant, and thusly racism will become less and less of a problem but it's going to take decades and decades for that

Do I have this correctly. You try to buy something and they don't take your money?

I get assumptions from people for being Italian, assume I have family in the Mafia, assume I wear alot of ginnie teas, assume I have a ton of gold jewlery, assume I eat nothing but pasta, assume some one in my family is named Anthony, assume I beat women

alot of stupid shit that all comes from ignorance

it's all so fucking stupid and if people would just take the chance to get to know people in this world there would be alot less of it

I hope everyone that believes this actually has lived in the south to have a reason for saying this. I think its a tad bit exagerated. There isn't a lot of racism if any in my home town, so I expect there are other southern towns just like mine. IMO its a town per town thing. I've been to towns were everyone gets along, and I've been to towns were its mostly one group, and they are assholes.

I know, its nitpicking, but assuming someone is a bad person becuase of where they come from is just as bad as assuming someone is bad because of their skin color, IMO.

LOL!

Living in central Florida I have experienced all kinds of racism, from blacks.. and whites.

Funny story: I had just left my house and had gotten a block or two down my street when I passed a group of black kids walking to school. I had my windows down at the time and heard one of them yell "fucking cracker", so I was thinking.. you ignorant little fuck face and immediately slammed on my brakes coming to a squealing stop and put the car in reverse.

I have never seen a group of kids run so fast just to get to school...

The south's got nothing on New York. Montgomery was split white/black but here everyone hates everyone. Melting pot, ha. Every race hates every other race.

One time someone called me "Casper." But they were also white, so I guess it doesn't count. :(
