Laughable posts in the past few pages. I am white and dress very well (imo!) and can't stop listening to hip hop (big fan of Blu and Fashawn right now). Stop looking for music as a way to confirm your identity; the world is bigger and more complicated than, "I'm white, I dress urban and listen to hip hop, so other white people don't understand me." It's probably because you walk around like a disrespectful clown that people look down on you rather than the notion that you listen to Biggie's "Ready to Die" album on your subway ride home.
Life's not fair. Move on. You can't change everyone's perception about you, so why waste the energy? You probably have things you could work on and get somewhere with.
That's funny..because it is the West Coast that is known for rage, looting, and brutality...not the east coast. PS- why would you take the opinions of a handful of losers and sterotype the entire east coast...really? Guess that's how the west coast is.
I'm just seeing if anyone can relate to something I've noticed:
I'm a white dude who grew up in NYC, mostly around non-white people. I always dated non-white women, mostly spanish. I'm into sneakers, hip-hop, etc.
I'm also the type of white dude who realizes that he's white and I'm comfortable in my skin. I like plenty of "white people" stuff too, basically, lol. I'm very educated and consider myself cultured. I'm just me and I don't walk around like a Vanilla Ice clown.
Now, recently I've gotten the feeling that your average white person feels a certain way toward me. I mean, it's like, I gotta be WHITE to be white. I'm pretty sure I missed out on some job opportunities recently because they could tell I'm not a white dude who grew up in the burbs, or something. I just think a lot of white people are not comfortable with that. The fact that I prefer women of color (due to a cultural vibe, first and formost), have a deep voice, and just don't carry myself as the average white boy seems to threaten them.
Lately, I'm very conscious around white people and feel like they are constantly judging me. In turn, I assume they are racist immediatly and become wary of them, and that's not right.
Can anyone else relate?
I never heard any native NYer refer to themselves as white.
Irish, Italian, Jewish, Russian, Greek, POlish ext but never white.

and yes h
That's because the OP is trolling and his posts are filled with such contradictions.He also says " I always dated non-white women, mostly spanish." How many native NY'ers refer to hispanic people as "Spanish " and how many Spanish people think they are not white ?
It sounds like you have a lot of issues that need to be resolved.Maybe that's the signal you are sending out that prospective employers are picking up on.
Why do you think you know more about his life than he does.
!. Racism exists.
2. Intolerance towards those who are diofferent exists.
3. People who dont behave according to the supposed norms of their race often face bias from those of their race. Were he black you would have agreed with him ife he said he gets problems from other blacks who think he is "acting white". He grew up around Hispanics, I assume, so was cuilturally impacted by his peers. Jeff Wonder Bread from Scarsdale is intimidated by this.

Yes, and by the way, how problematic is THAT statement ? Talk about objectification. "Only dated non-white women ..." why, exactly ? Few of the non-white women I have met share so much in common.

This reminds me of your preposterous stereotypes about Asians. Why don't you take a rest from commenting and from racism for a bit.
