Have you ever been subjected to Racial/ Cultural Abuse/ Discrimination?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I'm steaming mad!

Iv'e just read some shit that seriously has me thinking crazy, so i need to keep things simple instead of vetting my anger in an inappropriate manor. I won't elaborate now.

Instead, i thought i'd just conduct a simple survey of sorts.

Please excuse me/ my tone but how many of you actually have experienced some kind of discrimination or abuse with regards to your colour, religion, cultural background, accent etc...?

I'm just interested to know how it made you feel? How you reacted to it?

Oh if you're going to call me a Yankee, then I may get angry enough to work up a spit.

I am an American, we are good.....Yankees are loud, obnoxious, and lacking social couth...say what you will about Southerners and the slackjawed toothless morons Hollywood portrays us as but go to New Jersey/Philadelphia and tell me they are better.

I got mocked by some americans once who didn't like that I was coming from the french part of Canada, they were accusing me of being a shithead communists and a few other strange accusations turning around that. As I kind of have a huge punk cultural background, I got called hobos, trash garbage or glue sniffer, especially in my home town because one of my friend was living close to the forbidden triangle (I.E a zone where 3 posh pubs with a huge summer terraso filled with alpha males with testosterone) and I was often insulted when I was walking by there. BEside, quite ok I would say.

Being half Scottish/Geordie and a bit better educated and rasied than 9/10 of the people I used to work with on the building sites... I wouldn't call it abuse but I was definetly made to feel different then the other lads.

I wasn't treat like an outsider, but I was treat like an outsider who was allowed inside... if that makes any sense?...

This may prove unpopular with a few of you here but I'm gonna get on my soap box anyway -

In this country you have two things going either for or against you: your skills/qualitys and your ethnic background/gender etc... the country is now full of so much positive disrimination that I am pretty certain being a white male hasn't helped me at all...

In other jobs it won't be the case, but when it's goverment/council ran gyms/the fire service etc as is my experience, then being a young, white male doesn't exactly give you a helping hand.

Pommy b@stards as a general thing in Australia was well known as I was growing up even though I got here when I was three and spoke only with an aussie accent still copped it throughout school.

Once it came from my own father inlaw, who has a distant German backgorund!

I said "Oh well you guys didnt do too bad I suppose, you came second in two world wars". That nipped that one in the bud.

It wasnt good out here though. The british new settlers and soldiers of the queen who stood by and did nothing while whites buried black aboriginal kids up to their necks on the beach and played soccer with them takes along time to get over.The rape of their peacful women,erradication of their species over land. Stealing of their children etc.

The only English men who were against the mass slaughters were the English and Irish prisoners of her majesty and some of the clergy etc so its a circle of mistrust that has only just subsided.

In the outer country areas these racial harborings take more time to dispell.

Everyone gets discriminated against, it's just a matter of how subtle it is or overt abuse.
How does it feel? One of two, either want to smack them in the mouth or laugh in their face for being so ignorant.

Been called racist names at school a few times, i ignored it though. And sometimes round my area where i used to live, but you get it everywhere no matter what colour you are.
