I have been through the same thing except in a public venue. My white friends and I went to a mall in St. Louis which will remain nameless for reasons as to not start problems. We walked through the doors and we told by some black people to get out of their mall. Now we could have handle the situation better, but being raised on farms, and not being accustomed to having anyone tell us where we could and could not shop in America a fight broke out. Nobody got arrested, but heads got broke over a simple statement that should never have been made. I know that it's worse now in America and shouldn't be. I keep wondering why we are all so stupid?
They sound like clear racists from what you said. You could get a lawyer and sue for discrimination but because you are White its seen as "less serious" than if you were Black. Still might be the best idea though.
I think any group of people can be racist especially when there is an outsider, because people are usually more comfortable being mean to someone they see as an "other". So sorry you have to go through this though ://

You are right, no matter what is said, done or isn't even said and done someone has issue with it. FYI if people are spreading slanderous rumors about you maybe look into suing them and the company. Dont get bullied and have rumors that are not true spread at work. All racism is wrong and it will never go away until EVERYONE stops seeing color. We are all humans people... no one is better or worse than the rest.
I'm used to being the only asian/white girl mixed with all black kids in school. Yeh I felt left out a lot and different... didn't think it was racism tho because I knew there are some people who just have it way worse than me.

I am of color and my family lives in a black community. Not one white person is seen down there. I always hear how, if a white person goes down there they're dumb as fuck because there is a good chance they will get shot. Just because they're white. I tried to bring a white friend to meet my uncles down there, they told me if I wanted them to live, I better leave and never bring her back. I guess both races are the same. Racist against eachother.
White people face discrimination, but do not face racism because racism in institutional. Since white people have shaped and controlled the institutions they are not wronged by institutions based on race, but can be based on gender, ethnicity or religion and even class e. g. sexual harassment, religious persecution and N. I. N. A. and legacy policies. White people who scream reverse-racism show a real lack of knowledge about American history. There are viable arguments that segments of the white population have and still do face discrimination and some types of "-isms", but sorry racism is not one.
The most racist people I have met have been black women. There is even a poll of which race people think is most racist. All races, including blacks, voted blacks most racist.
I don't sit there and express guilt or hold some sort of grudge against white people just because my ancestors were slaves, and I damn sure don't pit myself in the same group as the slaves. They fought so we WON'T put ourselves in that group
Ohhh the cringe was so real, I really hope they end up scrubbing toilets at taco bell and you move onto better things, but don't feel as if we're all like that.
I know how you feel. I live and work in the hood, and when I first got to my job the people gave me hell. Then we all figured each other out, and now we're cool. I'm sorry this happened to you.

I am %100 sure the writer of this racist article is an American. While cops killing the black people in the street daily. You came here and share this bullshit. The black people are oppressed not white people. You should read so many books to improve your IQ. Cuz racist people have low IQ.
"I am %100 sure the writer of this racist article is an American.
And now you're being racist yourself! Stop being so racist. Racism is not about oppression. Nobody in Western society today is actually oppressed. Not even black people. The writer simply said that racism against white people also exists, and it DOES exist.
Also, more white people are killed by cops than black people. Black crime rate is higher. But nah, it's totally because cops are racist, right?
@Kirah You are dumb as hell. I gave example and said "I am %100 sure the writer of this racist article is an American." Why I said this for being an other racist or criticizing the racist. You are totally a ignorant person. Being American is not a race. Put this in your mind firstly. Second thing. You are comparing crimes rates with whites. This is really what racist people do. Racism comes also from stupidity. They think that black people do crime and if we kill them then its good for society. Without thinking that they are millions of innocent black people. Crime belong to people who did this crime. Not belong to other people. You have a low IQ like other racists. Ä°ts obviously you are a racist. You deserve to go in jail too. Cops kill black people in the street daily , everyday. Black people don't do anything in the street and cops kill them. You don't have any mercy. You don't have a good heart. You are full of hate. Don't talk with me anymore.
I really don't understand the word ' discrimination ' and its meaning. I don't understand how people could hate each others because they are of different race etc... Can't we all just be happy and rise above the ' stereotyping ' ? ...
The difference is that whites haven’t been being discriminated against for centuries to the extent where tons of white lives have been taken or severely altered with no justice. White people will never face discrimination and racism on the massive, widespread level that they’ve created within African American communities and Native American communities so I’m not sure why it seems like so many white people pretend they will.
If I were to live in an all black neigbourhood I'd like to see how that wouldn't end up with me being discriminated. Yeah, discrimination against whites is not the same, because it will probably (!) never be the same size as discrimination against black people. It's just that everyone pretends it's not there. They say things like 'you'll never get shot for no reason' because the cop is a racist scumbag, or actually had a reason to shoot. (That last one, Not in most cases, unfortunately.)
Lol the only discrimination I have really had was certain jobs they hire any ethnicity but white as priority, Government logic. I think if you took a good sized group of any ethnicity and put one person of another ethnicity there would be some form of prejudice or stereotyping.
Yes it does exist and anyone who says it doesn't is wrong. . This whole idea that whites are somehow, privileged, spoiled people is a joke. Most white people are not born with silver spoons in their mouths and have to work just as hard as everyone else. The slavery argument is a joke. Slavery was abolished 150 years ago, it has nothing to do with today, these are just bitter people. Stay strong.
@bente2 perhaps but i don't think most people think white are born privileged (as in rich with a silver spoon). if they do they are ignorant to the fact that by the numbers more white people live below the poverty line in america (percentage wise more black people live below the poverty line)
@madhatters4 that is true, most whites still aren't rich. But, there is still racism towards people of a different colour than white that get mistreated.
The white race human species needs to fess up to all their million different sins "first"! Colonization, slavery, deforestation, sweatshops, rigged elections, global warming, media manipulation and worst of all "bluegrass music"!!! Fess up to these unGodly sins first and then maybe, I'll throw you that bone that you know damn well you don't deserve!

Obviously... it goes without saying, mostly.
As racism bleeds America, we need to understand that classism is the real issue.

Hi, I'm black. I don't hate white people. Every group of people experiences racism. It's not just limited to marginalized people.
I'm used to being the only asian/white girl mixed with all black kids in school. Yeh I felt left out a lot and different... didn't think it was racism tho because I knew there are some people who just have it way worse than me.

Pretty sure if I got treated differently for the colour of my skin it's racism, institutional or not.
The most racist people I have met have been black women. There is even a poll of which race people think is most racist. All races, including blacks, voted blacks most racist.
Agreed. Black women are very racist. Even though they say they aren't.
@Marinepilot lol 😂😂
Of course it exists, especially these days
I don't sit there and express guilt or hold some sort of grudge against white people just because my ancestors were slaves, and I damn sure don't pit myself in the same group as the slaves. They fought so we WON'T put ourselves in that group
Racism is racism
Discrimination is discrimination

It does exist. I have a white friend who went to an 80% African American school and they'd keep calling him cracker and white boy.
As an Asian American, I got racially bullied by whites, blacks, and Latinos. All discrimination sucks.
Yes it does exist and anyone who says it doesn't is wrong. . This whole idea that whites are somehow, privileged, spoiled people is a joke. Most white people are not born with silver spoons in their mouths and have to work just as hard as everyone else. The slavery argument is a joke.

white privilege doesn't mean that all white people are born rich or with a silver spoon... i don't think you understand what white privilege is
@madhatters4 white privilege is different from whites being privileged in the way of money etc, which I'm guessing js what he meant.
@bente2 perhaps but i don't think most people think white are born privileged (as in rich with a silver spoon). if they do they are ignorant to the fact that by the numbers more white people live below the poverty line in america (percentage wise more black people live below the poverty line)
@madhatters4 that is true, most whites still aren't rich. But, there is still racism towards people of a different colour than white that get mistreated.
@bente2 true i never argued differently. racism occurs towards every group on earth, sadly.
The white race human species needs to fess up to all their million different sins "first"! Colonization, slavery, deforestation, sweatshops, rigged elections, global warming, media manipulation and worst of all "bluegrass music"!!! Fess up to these unGodly sins first and then maybe, I'll throw you that bone that you know damn well you don't deserve!
