Not ME, but I used to date a girl from Puerto Rico back in 2015. She was what would pass for white in Puerto Rico but not here.

We went to a bar, and as soon as I got there I went to the restroom. She tried to get us drinks, and when I got out of the restroom she was inside.

Her: The bartender won't serve me
Me: What?!
Her: 2 trashy looking people pointed at me and gave me dirty looks, then they told me (insert racist stuff here about jthe place being a bar for certain kind of people, etc)
Me: But the bartender didn't serve you?!
Her: Yes! That's it. Then they called the bartender, pointed at me again and he came here and said "sorry, bar's full, we can't serve new orders, just people who already ordered"

So I asked her to tell me how they were dressed and went to the bar. She was like "noooo, let's just go somewhere else!" but I was like "nah,wait".

So I went to the bar by myself, smiled at those two and nodded... they smiled and nodded back. Then the bartender took my order, and when he got me my drinks I called my girlfriend. I gave her her drink, stared at the 2 idiots (for the record, it was a guy and a girl, not 2 guys, I'm not an idiot), then told the bartender "so you're taking new orders now?"

The bartender went batshit when I said that, and I asked to see his supervisor (it's a bar on a busy Friday, good luck). I ended talking to another bartender and explained him what happened. The bartender that denied my ex said "no, they never pointed at her! The were just being friendly, and they simply told me that the bar was crowded, that's it. It wasn't about HER, it was about the number of people"

So I asked them why would 2 random patrons comment on that and give him directions on when to stop serving people.... he told me that I'd not understand (lol).

While this happened the 2 idiots moved to a different bar within the same venue.

This happened

Not really. The closest I've gotten is with other Asian kids in the neighborhood assuming dumb shit about each other. It was a mix of a bunch different type of Asian families and since the Vietnamese were the majority of that, they pretty much "terrorized" the neighborhood. I do not miss it there.

My friend's mom told him I had to leave his house cause she didn't like me. After I left my friend said she doesn't like black people, we were still friends though. Happened back in highschool.


Other than that just small incidents like getting followed in stores and general distrust from certain types of people when I'm around them.

Cops used to follow me around the mall and cops used to single me out at parties. Can only assume it was based on the way I look, so yah, sure.

I had that happen to me once, I decided to have some fun with the guy and start walking fast, walking through ails and finally just going back to my aunt. It was hilarious, it was like playing grown up hide and seek.

That used to happen to me on AIM about 16 years ago, I would be talking to someone for weeks or months and then they would stop talking to me when they find out my race.

Lol, my go to move was just going up and down the escalators and having them follow me.


And more racism when I played basketball, we'd play in predominantly black areas and whew was it bad. They were not fans of white people, and especially in my case they were not fans of white people that were better than them in basketball.

In preschool my best friend called me N--. In fairness, he didn't actually know what the word meant and was just parroting his parents. My parents had to sit down with me afterwards and explain what racism was, and why I could no longer visit that friend after school.

Forgot all about the time i went to Best Buy.
My mom & step dad worked at the Lakeland Best Buy before it was even open, they had their staff set the inside up before its grand opening years ago. They each worked their forever & were both in charge of their departments for years.

I went in 1 day while my was working & i was looking around in the media (Cd's, movies, games) department.
My mom & Bonnie (her bbestfriend) came out the office up front by the security desk & she saw that security was following me around with the cameras. My mom & Bonnie stood there with the security woman for like 10 minutes talking to the security woman but never mentioned that i was her son while the whole time they kept talking about me looking around.

As my mom left the security woman at the desk she told her "to watch this".
My mom then walked over to where i was at, gave me a hug & said to wave at the camera.
So we both smiled & waved at the camera.
The security woman was wondering wtf was up & thats when Bonnie told her that i was my moms son.
Needless to say the new security woman was fired that day.

Every day nearly. Double pricing is a thing here. I'll get charged 2-10x more than locals for just about anything because I'm white. Only place that doesn't happen is places like 711 and retail shops where the price is listed. Even government run parks charge literally 10x more for entry because I'm a foreigner even though I pay taxes unlike 90% of the country.

Luckily things are cheap for the most part and I can always use my wife to get local prices. Saved myself quite a bit of money that way (bought an oil painting for my parents, the guy wanted $200 from me, sent my wife on her own the next day and got it for $60).

I had something like that happen too, where I'd been talking to this guy when I was in high school that I played online games with a lot. We were friends, I'd thought, and he seemed pretty interested in me, but then when he realized I was black, he told me that he could never date a black girl or really get close to one, so I was like well... that sucks.

Also, when I was a kid, maybe like 10 or so, I was going to Toys R Us with my mom, and right after we parked and started walking toward the store, some really backwoods seeming chick gets out of her RV and goes off on my mom about how she apparently stole her parking space, and that it was "typical black behavior". Her husband was trying to get in on it too. My mom kept her cool though and nothing ended up coming from it, but that was like what for me. That was when I lived in Kansas.

yeah i hear that stuff sometimes goes on in asian restaurants. Well in their defense there might be a language barrier that would make it hard for the non asian worker, sometimes.

At this conference I was at my brother asked for white wine, the lady serving the drinks muttered "white wine for white people".

As a middle schooler who was in a classroom full of mexicans (this was in a classroom for misbehaving students though, they were the wannabe gangster type), they would all chastise me for being white, calling me white boy and threatening me, among other things. One time I was actually afraid they would kill me. :|

I am a nurse


I've had patients call me names a few times. Mostly old people, but a few young ones too. One lady told me that I was an animal and her mother told me to not talk bad about "them", but she was holding back some names for me I guess. Then we were best friends I suppose according to her

another one said I was nothing but a black B**** because I was trying to change her wet brief and she didn't want to move

I also had a patient outright refuse to let me care for him because I am black. The man gave me the death glare when I entered the room and then went as far as pulling his hand away when I tried to give him a shirt to wear. When asked, he told the other nurses (white) "YOU KNOW WHY!" When I left the room, it was N-word fest all night. It made for an entertaining night watching him call for the restroom but having to wait until a white nurse was available. My coworkers were apologizing to me all night.

It's funny watching non-black people get all flustered when a racist asshole is honest. They're like "That stuff is only supposed to be said behind closed doors!!"

One of his buddies afterwards said the reason I won is because I must be some kind of black thug

say about "brown people"


A portion of my family is white (German mostly) here in Texas. They seem to forget I'm mixed race and that my wife is Mexican. The "brown people" references are abundant. They also use derogatory terms for Mexicans in front of me all the time.

It's pretty disheartening.

mixed with what if you don't mind me asking?

Yes.
Accused of not being black enough for other black people.

Being "ghetto" or a hood rat from white and mexican's (despite us all living in the same area)

And not living up to everyone's idea of what a black man should be or look like.

Some shit at work too, but I think those people are crazies that will pass soon anyway.

I'm white and pretty quiet/introverted. In high school and college I really kept to myself all the time, barely ever talking to people. I was, on more than one occasion, confronted by security and other students who would basically accuse me of planning a school shooting and/or they were keeping an eye on me for suspicious behavior.

Dunno if it was a white or introvert thing, but I still look back on it and laugh.
