How often do you face racism in your life?

[Deleted]

Are you still mad about the draenei kicking blood elf ass in BC? Or is it because draenei are hotter than the elf sluts?

So u would fuck a sheep-alien? Fucking gross dude.

[xindralol]

me? Almost never. But the time I have been discriminated against, it was by British people, specifically English, for daring to be Australian and engage in Australian culture. I live in Australia, and these are immigrants doing the discriminating.

thats usually how it goes

I don't know what kind of sheep you've been looking at, but you might find like-minded individuals in Wales and New Zealand.

I live in the south. The anti-minority racism that regressive conservatives like to pretend doesn't exist is actually pretty prominent here.

No "Few times per second" option? That's about how often I'm reminded I should hate myself for the color of my skin, lol.

A few times a month for me. For some reason a few of my neighbors think that me simply being a white male is offensive. On the other side of that coin though, most of my neighbors are very nice, and polite whenever we run into each other in the hallways/elevator/smoking area outside.
There are only I think 5 (maybe up to 7, haven't seen a few of them in a couple of months) apartments in my building that are being rented/owned by white people, and there are a total of 40 apartments in my building, so I think that only having to deal with 2 apartments with racist occupants isn't too bad, but still pretty BS in the grand scheme of things.

This is something the regressive right and friends has taken upon themselves. It is amusing to see all of the self-victimizing people though who thinks others believe they should feel guilty for being white.

irl? I don't face it. I see it a lot though. It still is socially acceptable here to point out people for their race etc. Usually its the people in their 40s+ doing it.

Online? Well you can't go 5 seconds on a forum without being called a vile wretched abomination for simply being white.

I don't understand this obsession with race people have.

"Cops need to stop executing people in the streets you say? OMG STOP TELLING ME I SHOULD FEEL GUILTY FOR BEING WHITE."

That's pretty much the level of conversation these days.

at least he's not a draenei...unlike you.

[Revi]

Never personally.

I guess occasionally in newspaper columns generalizing based on skin color, but can't say it bothers me. Bigots will be bigots, no matter what color they direct it at.

[Etselion]

Im sure the OP did not expect a circle jerk of white dudes bitching

What does "facing racism" mean?
Are we talking IRL or online?

Instructions unclear, triggered.

Is it? Because for some reason police brutality is always brought up as a race issue when it's just a general issue. You're presenting the argument in a very biased way.

I'm all for police having body cams and being charged with crimes for using excessive force, but it shouldn't be a race issue. Bringing race into it just muddles it, and yes, many, many people bring race into it.

[Tailswipe]

Everyday, but it is mostly lighthearted.

I'm generally greeted as 'white man' by some of the guys while others call our Muslim 'boko haram'.

There is more serious racism in tender adjudication where we have to reduce a bidders points if his company has too many whites.

We can ignore it being a race issue, despite texts and emails talking about "dirty niggers", and the massively over the top statistical variance in targeting of certain minorities, sure.

My main point was any time you talk about race at all the regressive racists just scream "OMG YOU WANT ME TO FEEL GUILTY FOR BEING WHITE" to shut down the conversation, not because anyone ever seriously tells them that.

Like I said, I support police body cams which would help prevent excessive force or convict police officers for excessive force used regardless of the person it's used against.

Making it a race issue does basically the same thing. It's not a race issue, it needs to stop being made one so people can have a real discussion about it and find a solution that works to better protect everyone.

And yes, there are people who blame all whites for things. Like the whole white privilege thing.

[Mormolyce]

I can't recall ever seeing it.

But then, I'm a white Australian.

There's an element of that. But there's also the element of the very common trend of complaining about racism while simultaneously generalizing a negative quality onto all white people. The problem is on both sides, not just on the side you disagree with.

[hrugner]

I don't know. I'm not even sure how someone would know the answer to this really. I'd just be guessing based on my bigoted impression of the impact of race on others as it pertains to my treatment.

It seems like an asinine pursuit.
