Has racism ever had an effect on you?
Not just being called racist slurs, but actually being limited in some way because of race. Something like this happend to my parents a few years ago. I know my parents went to some foriegn store our of the U.S. (Rome I think it was) and stood in line to buy some things. When it was my parent's turn, the cashier ignored then but, continued serving people that were even behind my parents. My parents didn't get helped until my father complained. It was supposedly because my parents are Filipino. |

I'm half black, 1/4 chinese and 1/4 italian. My whole life is a mess of racism. I've always been too white for the black people and too black for the white people. I never quite fit in because people assumed by my skin and hair that I was something I wasnt. Damn them all. Even my family is that way. My white cousin wasnt allowed to date black guys, but its like hello, I was made because of a black person. Its so wrong. I wish I wasnt stuck in the middle.

Whoa what a pretty mixture. But I feel you.. I'm half black and half filipino. I remember one day my parents went fishing and we went to some hicky town down in Texas. We got our nice boat,and we put in the lake. When I notice, the place was filled with confederate flags. And some fat white guy came out of his rv or whatever, and said to us you need to get out, you can't catch no fish. Man and still they're people like that, I wish one day they woulr realize the world change. |
