Why don't you ever hear about white people experiencing racism?

I'm bi-racial. Half white and half black. But I was never once criticized for being half black. I was only ever criticized for being half white. It was mostly duing and after junior high. The area I lived in was around 96% hispanic, 3.99% black, and less than 1% were Asian and white. And let me make one thing clear. Just because someone of a certain race makes racial slurs towards me, that does not mean I'm holding accountable the entire race as a whole. We are all responsible for our own actions. But I can't say the same for the ones who harrassed me and my white friend for no reason. I'll give my white friend a fake name Dawn. Me and Dawn were talking about a show that was popular. But we heard that it was in Spanish and we both said we couldn't speak it. Others heard us and called us racist. And Dawn was dating a hispanic boy. She would quickly kiss him before class which a lot of other couples did. Students and even a teacher yelled "Don't catch herpes of the mouth!" Only to her, but nobody else! And during role call the teacher said where's Dawn? Some hispanic girl said "Dawn's kissing a**." And when I didn't yet have an opinion on wether to vote for McCain or Obama, a black guy called me racist and tried to lecture me for days. In another class my teacher would assign us patners. A hispanic guy was assigned with me and he said out loud, "I don't want to work with her because she's half white!". Seriously! And the same guy some days later after school drove behind me and shouted "HEY GET THE F*** OUT OF THE WAY [my name]!!! I F***ING HATE YOU [my name]!!!" He could have simply drove around me! And things just kept getting worse until my family moved. Why don't you ever hear about stuff like this?
