We often associate racism with whites againts Blacks. Its not always true.Some of us Blacks can be racist indeed.
So Have any White Member on here ever been a victim of racism?
I have been called names because I'm white.
My dad also lost a chance at a job because of Affirmative Action. He was told by the hiring manager that although the other applicant was black he was getting the job.
In a Texas border town my friends and I went to a small Mexican restaurant. They had at least 3 waitresses working that day, and the place wasn't even crowded, but none of them would wait on us, when they started serving people that arrived after us, we tried to approach one of the waitresses and very politely ask what's the problem, but she wouldn't even talk to us.
Both very minor compared to the experiences my in-laws have had and the discrimination I've faced as a disabled person, but here goes. My wife is mixed but her black and Hispanic family members are often asking her why she married a white person. The only other time is I went to an event once and everyone there was Asian or Black except for me. The table next to me started talking about me in Chinese. "Look at that whitey, what's that white kid doing here." ...until I asked them in Chinese if I could practice my Chinese with them. They were totally caught off guard, lol, and it turned out the mother was a Chinese tutor.
He just means being called a cracker or something, because that's usually the extent of it.
Exactly. Seriously, I think racism against whites is hardly worth mentioning because it's so minor and it rarely really harms us in the end. Most of what we encounter is a joke or a comment, and the attitude usually dissolves five seconds later. Even if we come across an employer that's only hiring blacks, we can find a ton of other jobs where we actually have the one up in terms of getting hired.

Maybe they just could not speak any English?
A friend of mine went to the Mall of America in Miami, and he went to the help and information counter there, and no one spoke English.
