I'm half Norwegian and the other half English and Irish, I have black hair and brown eyes. People who are stupid and know nothing for some idiotic reason assume that anyone with dark hair and eyes is Hispanic so I have gotten my share of bigoted treatment and remarks. My brother (who also has dark hair and eyes)and I have been stopped numerous times by the police while driving. We have done nothing wrong and once the cops come over look at our IDs, see our European last names and our address (white area) ALWAYS let us go without citing us for anything. I've had remarks made that are so ugly and hurtful I don't even want to repeat them. :-(
