Have you ever been encountered by racism?
I sure as hell was. My grandfather's friend thinks that blacks are lazy...Sad...
I'd have to say that I've been racist at times myself. But I tried to get rid of those things and I did.
But there is one thing true about some races. That some talk loud. It's a fact.

On my street, theres a tonne of people who are racest (Spelling?) to me & my nezt-door neighbour - because we're the only 'whites' on the entire street. They egg our house near halloween (Which is vandilisum), they get my sisters into stupid arguments, & whats worse is that they're trying to move us out of our own house when its our country.

Jeez...that's super mean.
Well, I know that people have been racist to my dad since he's Peruvian. They made him work longer than others at his job, which was McDonalds since he had just arrived to the U.S.

Everyone calls me a druggie just because I'm from Colombia. >_<
Pokey, I feel for ya. I could think of a ton of things to say back to them, but that would be racist. But effective. ^^;

Wow...that's horrible, Marina!
I'm not sure if this is considered racist. Classmates used to make fun of me for my eyes, just because they looked Chinese.

Chinese eys are cool, but you don't have Chinese eyes. My mom is a racist herself. Most of the time, she's not aware of what she's saying. It's a natural thing that can't be stopped, but we can try.
My friend Ashika is always teasing m because I'm white but, and I don't really care.
Also, people often steretipe peole because they're blonde. I know lots of blonde people that are smart.

Pokeh has a Chineese friend. He is probobly the dumbest-smart person Pokeh knows. He's in the top class for everything, but he has no comman scence at all. ;
