All growing up, the school administration favored the wealthier kids over the rest of us. From puberty on, girls only looked at guys with hot cars or older guys who had already graduated high school..later in college, it was guys who had graduated that level already!

The media freaks seem to think us Caucasians didn't grow up with discrimination!



What utter nonsense!

I was not welcomed at a Black Panther Party meet and greet because I am Caucasian.

In high school I was in the hallways in my gymnastics outfit. I had spandex on but seriously they weren't half as scandalous as some of the outfits, this guy out of no where says "sluuuuttt" what he didn't know is I was going to the counselor's office to talk about being suicidal. I went to the bath room and cried instead

race anti-white

anti-American

discrimination based on assumed wealth - assumptions that I was a 'rich kid' because I keep things nice, save to get nice things, know proper etiquette, valued my education & worked to make the most of it

it made me realize that the people who say they are often discriminated upon do it just as much. it impacted my life in a way that I realized it just isn't worth caring/listening to other people. most people are miserable and want everyone else to feel crappy too.

ive seen actual racial discrimination and 99% of what is called racist or racially motivated is not even close.

I was at the YMCA and asked if I could play pick-up basketball with a group of black guys there and was told that they don't want to play with 'Whitey'. Now if the situation were reversed and it was all white guys denying a black guy from playing, Rev. Jesse Jackson would be beating down the door of that place to sue somebody and make a big deal about it. Hell, I am sure Obama would even comment about it. But, I'm white so no big deal I guess.

Haha! That's true I hate the double standards in this country.
