An old man once told me,“You ain’t nothing but an old half breed Indian!”
I don’t think I have (to my face anyway).
yeah, lots of times.
They seem to see only the illness.
Yeah people look at me funny too that know of my MI. My niece’s bf stared at me something awful the other day
I am Indian, and one time in my youth I played in an arcade the game Puzzle Bobble, and someone put his coin in to verse me. I beat him, and he told his friend “curry power!” I didn’t know whether to laugh or be offended.
That’s about as bad as I’ve had it. Pretty sheltered life.

That’s terrible but at least it didn’t affect you much
Thanks.
I don’t feel victimized by my ethincity in general. I believe good character can overcome all odds, and that race privilege is kind of a convenient excuse preventing people from trying harder.

Nope I’m white so I received a free pass there thankfully.
People get mad when you start talking about “white privelege” but all it means is you didn’t have to deal with racism or prejudice or anything related to it growing up. It’s not saying your life was easy or everything was handed to you because of your race, just that you didn’t have specific race related obstacles growing up. Which I acknowledge I did not. So doesn’t bother me.

I have in the military. The blacks were getting promoted and the whites weren’t.
That’s crazy. I heard that the military was always fair even when the rest of the world wasn’t fair.
When were you in the military?

You’re kidding me. You’d think we’d all be on level playing field by 1998. I gave birth to an Hispanic child in 97 and didn’t think a thing about it. I thought we were all equal by then

Haha wow yikes. White devils!!
I am half white and half Mexican. All my life I suffered prejudice and racism from my extended white family because we were half Mexican. And all my life we suffered prejudice and racism from our Mexican family because we were a bunch of gringo’s. It’s definitely not fun being a half breed.
Hm… never really thought about it a lot. But I’m a white, blond-haired, blue eyed Dutch person, so I grew up with the “white privilege” USA people tend to speak about. My son is half-meditarrenean (is that hispanic too, in the USA?). Nobody really seems to care, there are so many different people here, my whole family is one big mix of all sorts of races anyway (black, white, asian, and mixes of all), and my son has a lot of “my colour” in the mix (no idea if anybody here really cares about that).
I did get some prejudice for both race and gender though, now I’m thinking about it, especially when travelling. Examples: having to pay way higher prices because I was white, being scolded in a language they thought I didn’t understand, being avoided or stared at because I was white, being refused at a hotel for being white, being harassed by men who thought I surely wanted sex, because “hey, white/Dutch women are easy” (happened both in my own country and abroad), not being allowed to play certain sports because I was a girl, being pushed to or away from certain fields of study and work because I was a girl, being told I should wear more feminine clothes like dresses and skirts, being told I should do as my partner told me because “women have no goals of their own, a woman’s goal is her husband”, etc.
Well. You get the idea. It must be really bad if you are experiencing prejudice much more though.

My daughter is half Ecuadorian. She didn’t meet her father until she was 13. Her white family members were the same with her as with her white cousins. Never treated different
Her dad was married to a black woman b4 me. She met her 3 half black sisters at age 13. There was a party at her dad’s house Her dad was now married to a white woman. Everyone was nice to everyone
