Oh wait did you mean experiencing racism as a white person? I am 99% sure this doesn't occur. I think white people read "social slights" as racism.

"Social slights" like being told to get my white ass out of "their"neighborhood? Like being beaten up by a group of blacks shouting "FUCK YOU, WHITEY"? Like finding a giant loogie in my sandwich at an AA-owned deli?

Those kind of "social slights?"

Well you could be pursued, accosted & shot dead simply because the color of your skin reduces you to a violent caricature and not a human being minding their own business. You could be followed in most stores because you can only be up to no good because of your skin color. You could be constantly stopped by police because an incident that happened was perpetrated by someone of your same skin color & you are automatically a suspect. You could be shot dead by those cops & the cops receive promotions for getting rid of "the issue." You can be denied employment or promotional opportunities because of the color of you skin. To compare, white people really don't have it all that bad! Congrats your privilege and entitlement serves you well!

The fact that racism towards minorities is harsher and more pervasive than it is towards whites doesn't make my experiences any less racist, you tool.

Oh, and I was waiting for a bus and talking to a man who told me he didn't like "light-skinned" women. None of these people had any power to make my life difficult. Yes, I thought the guy on the bus was an asshole but I could tell the woman on the sidewalk and the man at the bus stop were both a bit "off." Either way, I didn't feel threatened as a white person.

Now there was one time when I wasn't sure whether my dd would be accepted to a DC magnet school because she was white. At the interview, the head of the department was a little distant and left the room for a bit. After dd got in, I got to know the department head and it turns out she's just a really disorganized and reserved person so I realized that her behavior probably had nothing to do with my kid being white. And I understood much better the daily experience of African-Americans who codon't such situations not knowing whether their race is an issue or whether something else unrelated is happening. It must be exhausting to deal with that.

Self pity & pathetic insults doesn't make your position any more valid. Be like the other pp & bask in your privilege & quit your b*tching. You lived through your "racist" experiences unlike millions of others by the hands of people who look just like you. Kind if hard to relate to your ailments.

OP, since you asked (!)

I have been in racist situations.

Where there has been assumed "white guilt" if I am nice to a person of color. Hostile much?

Where someone has pretended not to speak English, when they are clearly in the wrong. Don't underestimate me, you will be sorry, because the wrong will be "righted", right quick.

I have been verbally harrassed and threated multiple times while walking by groups of teens who threatened to rape me, rob me, spit on me, and threw rocks at me, while referring to me as a white B, cracker, etc.

In high school (predominantly black), I was jumped by 3 girls and beaten up while them calling me racial names.

In Memphis, I bought a house in an all black neighborhood, and my neighbors flat out told me I didn't beling in their neighborhood and to get out. Their campaign against me included:

Stabbing threatening notes to by front door with knives.

Shooting my dog with a BB gun.

Vandalizing my car countless times.

Constantly breaking into my backyard and stealing my lawnmowers.

Some of those events could have been unrelated, but who knows. I eventually moved. I never found out which neighbors were the responsible parties.

Anonymous wrote:While not racism, I experienced a race-based decision that significantly impacted my career. I was an associate at a law firm along with a very competent African American woman. I was told in different ways but very clearly by four, yes four, partners that the firm would not be making more than one partner from our group, and that I would not make partner unless the African American woman left the firm. Three of these partners stated that I was generally considered the top choice for partnership based on my legal skills and client relations, but that the firm needed to increase diversity. These and other partners assisted me in finding another job outside of the firm, which turned out well in the end, but I still regret not having been able to compete fairly for partnership after years of working many, many hours. I do not begrudge the African American attorney at all, and found her to be both competent and a personally terrific individual. I am now much more careful, though, To avoid professional situations and which my primary competitors for promotion are African American or other underrepresented minorities. I have also experienced probably a handful of minor racially charged events. Nothing, however, that would rise to the level of affecting my day today life in any way.
