Have you ever experienced racism from a minority?

I can't believe you said that. My Dad is a good man. He was just being himself, treating people with dignity and respect, and for this the Voortrekkers treat him like scum. If he had to do it all again he wouldn't change a thing. My Dad was in the right and I have massive respect for him for that.

To be fair, if you go to South Africa you should already know most of the white people are racist as ****.

It should really have clicked before his dad moved there.

South Africa, bang in the middle of apartheid, being nice to black people in front of whites. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what was going to happen next.

Like I said, he brought it upon himself. Shame on him for working with the scum in the first place. What some people do for money eh. ;)

You either didn't read or chose to ignore my earlier post:

It was the 70's. Strikes were rampant in the UK and economy was in tatters. Millions were out of work. My Dad took a chance, he saw this very well paid job in South Africa which came with a house supplied and he went for it.

We can all be wise with hind sight. :rolleyes:

I'm guessing by the sentiment in your posts you chose to ignore. As Deuse pointed out you're just trolling for a pointless meaningless fight aren't you ?

You're probably one of the most unpalatable people I've come across on these forums. :(

I encountered racism throughout my school life in London.

At the first school I attended it was a predominantly Jewish class and basically none of the other kids would play with me because I wasn't Jewish, didn't go to temple with them etc. I even had one kid pee on me in the toilets when we were both stood at a urinal/trough because he noticed I wasn't circumcised.
I moved to another area of London later and transferred schools. I became best friends with a black child. We did everything together, I got on well with his family, we were both welcome just to pretty much walk into one anothers houses unannounced etc.
This all changed when we went to high school. I'd been accepted and given a scholarship to attend a private school in mill hill but chose to go to another school with him and some other friends of ours. It was a mistake. He made friends with a new group of black kids and whilst I wont go in to most of the details (I have in another thread in SC) they basically prevented me hanging around with him. It started off with them just ignoring me when I was around them and him, then it moved on to hard tackles when we were playing football etc then it just became out and out bullying because of the fact I was white (this was made clear through words). It eventually ended up with threats of violence.
 
All the time..

I get called you **** *******, go back to **** land and various other racist comments you can think of. Most comments will come from non-asain communities. So yes White people love to make racist comments towards me. Lately all the EU immigrants lot have been trying it on me...

I'm so used to it. I expect white people to be racist towards me. You eventually get use to it. But i find it funny at times. When comments do get made, i just laugh it off as, I'm not a ****. Bangladeshi ;)
 
Ordered a Chinese went to the newsagent next door to get a bottle of coke and got told to leave. I wasn't one of them apparently.
 
Ha I remember when I started college originally back at school leaving age and we had someone come in teaching us about racism. Ignored them as soon as they said is not racism when its black doing it to white people.
 
Yes, a few times actually. Once in a nightclub by a chinese girl, once by a black girl, and once by a black guy in the local arcade.

I live in a small sea-side town in Northern Ireland, I would say it happens everyday to every race/religion/whatever. I don't think it will ever go away to be honest.

Wow, that's really quite sad and upsetting :(
 
It wasn't nice. I could deal with the bullying but the hardest part was losing a friend and just how much he changed when he started hanging around with them. I lost contact when I moved back up here but I honestly hope he turned himself back around. His family were amazing and he was such a nice kid.
The school before that was just a very lonely time for me. I didn't really understand what it all was about but remember upsetting my mum when I asked if there was something wrong with me and could we start going to temple because I wanted friends. She didn't really know how to explain why because I was a different religion people didn't like me even though I'd never done anything wrong to them. I can see why explaining that to her six year old son must have been hard. This magical world that he lives in isn't so magical after all.
 
I was the only coloured person in my secondary school. Got loads of racism all the time from white people, particularly a group known to most in our year as the ****** (local council estate kids). None of it bothered me or effected me long term because I could handle myself and I never took anything they said to heart.
The most satisfying thing now is seeing them doing menial work like street cleaning. One of them collects my bins too, makes me smile.
 
I had to fire a black muslim worker for calling a white colleague "bacon bits" and a few other things that cant be repeated. Apparently it means something like "white person who has sex with pigs".

There was a lot more to the sacking this was the icing on the cake but of course I was pulled up on unfair dismissal for racial discrimination. The tragic cliche line of "its because I'm black init" made an appearance :D
 
While we were fostering the father of the Muslim Bangladeshi girl we were looking after made about 20 racist remarks towards us and the social worker while we were having a meeting. I'm sure if we had spoken like that towards him we would have been in big trouble, yet the social worker and chair of the meeting were bending over backwards to cater to his every whim.

It wouldn't have been so bad but it was his inability to properly care and look after his daughter's needs and decided to beat her instead that put her into care in the first place.
 
I find that when people are disappointed by something not going their way will often say that it's because they are a minority and have been dealt with unfairly because of this fact.
