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

English bastard, White bastard, Nazi Bastard was pretty regular when I lived in Bradford and I responded by beating the fuck out of them. I ain't lived there for 6 years though and moved away to get away from it all because I always reacted to any kind of insult with violence. Was years ago though when I was still a kid really.

Most recent was a Scottish fella that called me an 'English cunt' when I was up in Oban in Scotland (stunning place) at a friends party. I won't go into what happened but we were drinking together and having a good time about 10 minutes later and we speak on the phone a few times a year.

Anyway what's the problem Grinch?

Yes...

But I brush it off and move on with my life.

The most reason time was when I was in Thousand Oaks pumping gas and I was in my car and 2 Caucasian (White American) men that appeared to be in their 40s we're pumping gas on the other side I had Spanish music playing loud enough for me to hear while I pumped gas and I walked inside to buy a Gatorade and walked back and as I walked back past them I heared one of them say "Even if he's well dressed and in a Mercedes he's still a wet back" I stopped turned around and said "Just think that this wet back dresses better then you and drives a better car then you" and went about my business...

Was in Dublin a few years back and had an altercation with a guy from Cork who told me to 'F**k off back to where you came from' (Im irish by the way but i know it was because i was from Belfast, the North as opposed to his South). I aked him where he was from, knowing the answer but hoping he might see the irony, and then pointed out that he lived farther from dublin than i and why didnt HE f**k off where HE came from. Got a bit of a laugh from his stupidity and pure ignorance

I moved out of London for a year when i was about 13. All the kids ripped the piss out of my accent and for generally looking a bit poor. I used one these kids head to destroy a locker. Stopped after that.

I got called an "English cunt" in Wales. Thought it was funny.

When I was 11 we were vacationing at this place in Indiana. I was in the arcade, watching this one white kid playing 'Commando' (late 80s). The kid lost a man and his buddy said, "That game's a nigger." He turned and saw me standing there and said, "Sorry dude." I walked away. I wasn't about to get into a fight with two teenagers.

The other thing wasn't as overt (not that that was), but I was in a chicken place. Now I'm about 5'11", medium brown, slight build and a bear of a human being walked in just before me, dark-skinned. We look absolutely nothing alike. He ordered and waited. I'm waiting for two minutes before I ask if I can pay for my order when the white teen says something to the effect of, "We thought you were together." Other than us both probably having African heritage there was absolutely nothing indicating we had anything in common. I just passed it off as the stupidity of youth 'cause I wasn't about to pass up the food. It was just too good.

I remember my dad being in glasgow, pretty rough pub...
this drunk glaswegian starts asking him where he's from

"Geordie eh? ay they're alright... just Scotsmen with no brains"
"you must be a geordie too then "

The bloke could of gotten pissed but luckily saw the funny side... from what I've heard people from the north east of england are pretty much the only englishmen rampant scottish nationalists will evel tolerate...

Not sure if it was discrimination or racism but it is somewhat related. I was in Morocco 2 months ago and the waiter took my friend's order just fine but didn't want to take mine. It was the month of Muslim fasting and told my friend I should follow Muslim faith just like anybody in Morocco. The waiter thought I was Moroccan. I don't blame him, being Mexican and that day I didn't shave, I could blend in as one of them. My friend translated what he said and holded herself from laughing so I told the waiter "No no no, yo soy Mexicano, en serio. No se preocupe" (No no no, I am Mexican, really. Don't worry). I knew he wouldn't understand me but I wanted to make it clear that I AM MEXICAN and not Moroccan. The guy apologized and took my order.

A few days later, this girl and I were just playing around as we walked near a plaza. We were just being flirty and playful and then police came up to us and asked her if everything was fine and then the guy started speaking arabic to me. Once again, I replied in Spanish (not in English, somehow, I feel english-speaking nationalities are not seen positively in muslim countries) and the guy apologized and told me he thought I was harrassing a poor turist (my friend) and just wanted to protect tourism. No problem.

Interesting how people think I am one of them when I visit Egypt or Morocco. I don't blame them. If I saw them in Mexico, I would think they were Mexican.
