I get unsolicited offers for high-limit lines of credit weekly. It's like they just assume I'm white.




I am, but still...

ETA: Isnt she pretty tall tho? If so how is that racist?

yeah, she is taller than me and I've been asked many times in different stores to help reach something for some woman who can't. I guess because I'm white I don't take offense to it and am happy to assist

A guy confronted me after hearing me say what he thought was the n-word over and over.

I said I was just making sounds and did the exact thing I was doing.

He heard what he wanted to hear...

coached football for the rec...coached multiple sports with the same crew of coaches...I was the only white one...things went well for several seasons until I spoke up about playing some kids in some certain positions...things changed real fast when we didn't agree...these guys were friends of mine...racism knows no boundaries...

Black guy standing outside the gas station watches several black people enter the building. Hits me up for money when I walk in.

In college I was the only white guy in my apartment building. It was also the only apartment in that building broken into.

Was teased about the way I ate fried chicken.

Was refused a promotion because there was "too many" white people in management

I stopped at a redneck gas station in Orange, TX to piss and my friend gave me money to buy her cigarettes. The guy behind the counter looked at my ID and his face dropped. He said he didn't like my last name because it sounded Jewish. He looked like he wanted to kill me, so I grabbed my ID out of his hand and hauled arse to my car.

Learned later that Orange is a hotbed for KKK activity.

Funny story about this.

Ed Osteen, who is a poster on this site, and I were driving around Ole Miss’ campus with the windows down. He was telling a story about someone calling a group of cops “fricking pigs” and how they got arrested. Coincidentally were driving past the police station as he told this story and the cops were outside hanging out by their cars/bikes. They heard only 2 words of his story (guess which two?). The entire fleet jump in their rides and surrounded us with mace and handcuffs drawn. We had no idea why because we didn’t realize they heard the story. They had thought he yelled it at them. We all were separated and told the exact same story and they eventually let us go.

That was so ridiculous. We were 2 seconds from being maced and arrested.

Yeah it gets pretty bad in the Orange-Vidor area. Still hear about how it's still considered a sun-down town. Meaning you don't want to be alone there at night if you're not white. I remember a story that was really wild a few years back about a black guy who was tied to the back of a truck and drug a couple miles down a dirt road until he died by the KKK

Every time I order a sandwich they ask me if I want mayonnaise like it's a foregone conclusion.

You are right. I should have escorted you to the phone area.


Well, that's not what I said. I said, you should have said "Sorry, I dont work here". Very simple. It's called common courtesy. I understand that it's foreign to you, but with a little bit of discipline you may have a small chance of not turning out to be a huge douchebag that likes to waste everyones time.
