[Serious] Predominately caucasian people, how have you experienced racism directed toward you?

Well my mother went to an predominantly black middle and high school and the black girls beat her and pulled her hair (like pulled it out) bc she was a "pretty white blonde girl."

I personally haven't been physically or mentally harmed bc of my skin color though

I'm as white as they come. I grew up in some fairly black areas and yeah, tons of black people were racist towards me. It was especially bad when we moved and I became the new kid. Tons.. and tons.. of racism. Always the black kids.

When I worked security at a hospital some First Nations (native) people have called me racist in the past for arresting them for being violent towards staff members (they were drunk at the time) and would say "You're just doing this because I'm native!" The only thing I would ever respond with was "You be any color of the rainbow, you come here drunk and start getting violent I will arrest you." Then while waiting for the police I would sing the reading rainbow song to them, if they stayed quiet I would stop, if they kept talking I would sing louder.

Outside security I had a black friend call me "White Nigger" once because my jeans had creased and ruffled in a way to make me look like I had a huge dick.

And then I held the door open for a couple of ladies leaving a pool hall, the first said "white people have such nice manners." The second said "Hey white boy you trying to just get into my pants? Sah, Jokes." (That entire sentence hurts me when I think about it.)

That's pretty much it, where I come from there isn't a lot of racism, there is a lot of disgruntlement towards drunk people, and pan handlers. And a large portion of that group falls under one specific group of people.

Ah well.

This one is creepy. Me: Lily-white person working in Customer Service for a Chinese company that has only 'Americanized' enough to not be breaking (too many) laws. My managers: All Chinese nationals with degrees, sent here by the parent company in China to get things up and running in the US. We're a big warehousing concern. Many of the workers are black, the entire dock crew is Hispanic. My job involves doing things that are going to directly affect the dock crew every day. So...logic dictates to me that I need to talk to them, ask them what they think of the processes I am working on, and generally get their input on what they feel they need to do their jobs best and most safely. So - I'm not really /welcome/ to eat lunch with the management/leadership types unless its a business lunch I have been invited to. I start eating lunch with the dock guys. I get to know them, they get to know me, we talk, we share food.
My immediate manager pulls me aside and says: "Don't be too friendly with those guys. They aren't like us. They are uneducated and lazy." He voice was just dripping with contempt. I was stunned, and basically nodded as I was mentally going "What the fuck was that???"
