In reply to the discussion: White DUers: Tell Your Stories [View all]Decoy of Fenris
(1,954 posts)My wife (Jewish, but "white" as far as that goes) works as a teacher in an inner-city school, one of three white teachers there. To the student body, her and her white colleagues are "Those white cunts". She was assigned to the worst-of-the-worst (troublesome) classes in the school, is "asked" to pick up extra duties and to do the work of/for other teachers. That's all she's shared with me though (of her profession), so there's probably more going unsaid.
Myself? I've been told to "keep walkin', white boy" on the street. Been told that a store doesn't serve "my kind". I was aggressively stalked by a group and "asked" if I'd pay money to be shown the "right" way out of town. Been accused of being racist for a -lot- of shit that has nothing to do with race at all (Several stories there professionally, I can elaborate if you'd like.) Been told that I wasn't allowed to date a man's daughter because "You're not us (Phillipino)". Been asked to leave from a party because "You're the only white boy here and you make us uncomfortable."
Some, if not most of the most aggressively or overtly racist shit I've ever had to deal with comes from minorities. Worst part is, I'm not even "white"; I'm ethnically Asian, from a Yakut bloodline, just with light skin.
