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. |

Nah not really. Though I am white. I grew up in an area of houston called Alief where it was pretty ghetto, and now live in a upper-middle class area called Sugar Land. I've always managed to get along with blacks, asians, indians, hispanics no problem. My high school was about 51% asian, 47% white, and I forget the other percentages. Of course asian encompasses oriental, indian, and pretty much anyone from asia.
I actually prefer company of asians sometimes, as I find them smarter, nicer, and funnier. Hell, my girlfriend is Chinese. Of course I have racist thoughts, but they aren't all negative. A lot are seen on the positive side. |
