My husband and I have been discriminated against many times over the years becuase I am a blonde haired blue eyed american and he is a black haired dark skinned Sri Lankan. We have been jumped in parking lots, threatened and just plain been put through hell. There are a lot of idiots out there.

Of course.

Yep. I had a teacher in middle school who was intent on preaching just how wrong my religion was.

Yes, when moving to Scotland from England most of the kids hated me (me also being a kid) I got bullied so much and called an "English Bitch" every day, Id come home from school crying all the time and even have some repressed memories, but now im older and the people who are around me are also older and more mature I don't get it! apart from little brats!!

Oh gosh yes. As a child born in Britain, I was subjected to the same horrible treatment that other British migrant children received at the local school (this was the 60s in Australia). when I married an Italo-Australian, I got the stuff that was dished out on Italians, and I have been verbally and almost physically assaulted (but for the intervention of a kind gentleman) for having done the unthinkable thing of having a conversation in Indonesian with one of my students on a train....it goes on...

yes, and im not being discriminating when i explain this and i am not trying to be a labler either.. but yeaa Alot of the Emo's hate me and so do the goths, cuz me and my friend are SOOO preppy! lol And i guess we annoy them out of their minds! :) so yea im hated bi them!

Yep.I've heard about every insult there is, gay, fag etc...Mostly because of my musical preference. Also, I have amazing natural eyelashes (a few people, girls, have told me that they are jealous of them...), so most people accuse me of wearing eyeliner and/or mascara. What sucks is that there is no way to prove them wrong...

Of course! on many occasions, just because of the love I have for Rap, rnb, hip hop music.

Yes I have. I was discriminated against in the past for dating someone of a different skin color than me; both, by people with my skin color and people with his.

" I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against. Picket signs for my wicked rhymes. Look at the times. Sick is the mind of the motha fu****' kid that's behind all this commotion. Emotions run deep as ocean's explodin.' Tempers flaring from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin.' Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell long as I'm breathin.' Keep kickin' as* in the mornin,' an' takin' names in the evening. Leavem with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth. See, they can trigger me but they never figure me out. Look at me now, I bet ya probably sick of me now." Sorry just had to quote eminem on that one

Yes, I have. I went to school where everyone was expected to act and dress the same. And I was diffrent so they abused the tar out of me. Then, I changed religions and have gotten it for that. I've been discriminated agianst for my size, hair color, and thinking pattern as well as my skin color, pregnancies, and sex. Not only on a personal level but also on a professional plane as well. And when I complained I was made the bad guy for being the squeekie wheel.

My mother-in-law-to-be thinks I'm not good enough for her son because I'm half-black. I also used to take a lot of sh*t at work for dating a woman (I'm bisexual).

I'm a young, white male. Of course I've been discriminated against. I get called "Cracker" or my opinion gets devalued because of my social status.

Gay Man here.....Let me help you do the math. There are 365 days in a year times the years I am alive. No, obviously not all discrimination is overt, especially after you become an adult, but there are different degrees of it and geography and religious values have a lot to do with it as well. I was once punched for it as a young man. Most of it was name calling and job loss. Bosses can be cruel and the homophobia used to run rampant. Everyone has felt is in some fashion or another. The thing is that you either do something about it or leave it alone. In a few cases, I have written and verbally fought to make changes.

Yeah, I've been told to shut my "white-ass mouth" (heh), and I was picked on a LOT in middle school because everyone found out I had a girlfriend.

I'm a young, white male, like Ender(who I assumed was Chinese) and I've been called a "Cracker", Like Ender.

Yes! Lots of times!

yeah a few times

I am a "Gypsy". One guess. :P

When I went for a driver's license, I could tell that the driving examiner had his mind made up before he even buckled his seat belt that he was going to flunk me. He had this hateful look on his face, and he groaned and rolled his eyes as he was getting in. Then he proceeded to nitpick me and harass me as I was driving. He flunked me miserably, and it came as no surprise. I didn't know what was going on. But the woman whose car I was borrowing for the test explained it to me. You see, this was a very motherly African American woman, called Mom even by people older than herself, because she was the ultimate Mom image. And, at the time, I had a very bad perm which had frizzed my hair. So, I said to this sweet black lady, "Got the keys, Mom?" I didn't see the look on that man's face. But she did. She said he had to scrape his eyebrows off the ceiling. So yes, I was discriminated against, for something that didn't even apply to me. He flunked me because he *thought* I had a black mother and was biracial.

Gosh yes. Our bank, early in our marriage, would not grant me a loan even though my earnings and qualifications were the same as my husband's, because I was a woman and I "might get pregnant" I am married to an Italo-australian. I have had some bad run ins including a specialist dermatologist who made fun of my surname and treated me like dirt because of it. I have travelled in countries where being a Christian is dangerous so yesss....

yes all the time. I'm a civil drafter and people always think I'm the secretary and don't know anything about the work we do just because I'm a woman, and I'm not even blonde.

Yep, I sure have.

Yes for being stupid, rofl! woof! lol meeeeeoooouw!!

of course. 50 year-old white american men are the most discriminbated against group in the world ;-p

Yes, I am from Liverpool and work in another city and once went to a club there and they wouldn't let me and my friends because we had an accent!! It ruined my night completley!!!

Yes! I'm Blonde so get treated like a moron. But yeah I was a mechanic in the army and after I was discharged . I also worked in an auto parts store for a couple years. I've been discriminated against more than times than I can count. It's just never really bothered me.

No, but on the internet. I dealt with a lot of racist trolls, because of my interest with white girls.

I am an adult. I grew up in the NE and at one point moved to NC briefly. I never knew what it felt like to be discriminated against until I felt the brunt of hate southerners have towards Yankees. It taught me alot. I now know what it feels like. It is UGLY! I have never forgotten how it feels and never will. People were really out spoken about Yankees and to happily ready express their feelings about Yankees. It is sad that such hate still exhists and is passed down from generation to generation. One day...maybe...hate will die.

Yes.

I get discriminated against all the time for my age!!! Now I am in my twenties and people are finally starting to treat me with a little respect. Just because I am young, people think I am irresponsible and cheap or something~

I've been discriminated against by classmates for being Asian. I've been teased - but only jokingly, I think - by Chinese people for being half-Japanese and by Japanese people for being half-Chinese.

Yes. I've been a victim of the last "acceptable" discrimination: sizeism.

It happens a lot... because I’m crippled, people assume I can't do the same things as them because I have a cane, which is usually true... but now, my usual response has become "just watch me"... whenever I go to the motorbike shops (I may not be able to walk more than 50 feet, but I can ride a million) they all assume that I’m looking for a relative... then when they find out that I’m looking for me, they say "you can't ride" or "don't be stupid, it's too difficult for someone in your condition", it annoys me so much! The worst one has to be my first day at my new job... just after I'd gotten out of hospital for my leg (I wasn't always crippled) the people at the gates assumed that I was visiting, then started to mock me when I told them I work here (I work with motorbikes and cars and other things that apparently need able bodied people), so I got out of my friends car (who got me the job) and beat the crap out of them... it was fun! You don’t need to be able to run to make a bike actually move after some rich idiot has killed it. Those same rich idiots who scoff when they see that I’m the one who’ll be re-designing the vehicle they destroyed.

Lydia - happy again: I'm sorry to hear about your story. No offense. Just want to point out one thing: In history, English suppressed the Scotland people. Bridals must be raped by the English rulers/officers before they were allowed to go back to their husbands. Although I have never been to Scotland, I heard many people warn me: If you go to Britain, never say "the English". Call them British, as the Scotch hates Englishmen. All commonwealth countries and conolies share the same phenomenom: *Races are not equal. *Anglo-Saxons are first-class citizens *First class citizen should have the privilage. *Ethnic people look down at their own people I guess English just need to do something for compensation. I know you're innocent. But weren't those Scottish bridals even more innocent?

I am a white woman and I went into a black biker bar in my town with my ex and some of his family members. I wasn't 21 and I told them I was not going to be able to stay and there are always underage people in there. So I walk in and it felt like I was on TV the music stopped and everybody stopped and stared. They owner lady came and carded me and not being 21 asked me to leave. I wouldn't say it was discrimination if she had kicked the 14 year old standing next to me out too. It was actually funny, I should have never gone there.

Mostly petty stuff in the South. I'm a person of non-color and many times I needed service in a fast food place or store, I was ignored while people of color were asked to step forward in front of me and I was asked to go into another line...12 white people deep.

i am being discriminated 7 days a week but since those are the majority and i cant beat them all up i cant really do something about it only thing is ic an do is to leave this godless continent....

Even though I am stable on meds, yes, I have due to my mental illnesses. I also represent children who are discriminated against in the school system as a special education advocate.

Yes! As a Caucasian male pilot, I have been heavily discriminated against! Actually, we call it reverse discrimination. How would you feel if others get a job with 1/10 of your experience because you happen to be a Caucasian male? Safety should have priority over reverse discrimination! We should all be given equal opportunity with EQUAL qualifications!

I have been because I was a single caucasion female, because of my disabilities, because of my sex.. because I didn't have kids.. I have been a LOT

Yupppp for no reason too i was walking down the street and got called fag :(

I've been judged because of the way I look, the family I was born into, my weight, my voice, my hair, my beliefs, the friends I chose to have, where I choose to go to school, my grades, my clothes, and so on. Should I blame the people who've judged me for these things? No. They've taught me that I can make a difference in this world by just being myself.
