As a Black American....

And it isn't always black people that are discriminated.

So true... Gypsies get it far worse in here.

I'm new to Vermont, but I've noticed a few white people say the "N" word a few times, which I have to say did piss me off. They probably only feel like they can use it because they are in an area where there are no minorities.

I'm from Nebraska, and there is a growing population there of Hispanics. Lots of people are stupid, and think all Hispanics are Mexican, and there was a lot of discrimination there too for them. And this pisses me off, being El Salvadoran, and having jackasses come up to me, thinking Mexico is the only place where Hispanics come from.

All minorities suffer from the majority. Anonymity just makes it easier for people to spout rhetoric people would not dare spout in real life. I have to ask though why gypsies? As I have never met one in real life.

They probably only feel like they can use it because they are in an area where there are no minorities.

It's really sad, those stupid racist bastards. And it's so unfortunate for their children, raised up to be just as ignorant.

You'll find that sort of behavior just about anywhere, even in "minority" areas.

That's due to ignorance, I have a Spanish name and am fluent in Spanish, though I'm caucasian; I've recieved the "You speak Spanish? You must be Mexican" approach countless times, more so when I was younger. It seems people are catching on that Spanish isn't a Mexican invention and there are Spanish speaking countries besides Mexico, south of the border.

Then when tackled on it, they will use the "i'm only joking" defense.

Ah, I'm quite the opposite. For example, when I went bleach blonde, everyone who knew I was Hispanic, said I looked caucasion, for I have very pale, fair skin. And sadly, I'm not fluent in Spanish like I should be, for my mother didn't teach me while I was a baby, like most Hispanic mothers should.

I think people are catching on more to being less racist with blacks, but more racist with Hispanics now, specifically Mexicans, because of the "border problem".

That seems a very general stereotype.

But it isn't all that far from the truth is it?

So you don't find them offensive, yet you "can't get over them". Odd, no?

Time for a new account.

I can't get over the stupidity in such jokes. They don't offend. What are you talking about.

How do people know your black in the first place?

As for humor, come on, theres all sorts of jokes about every race, why do some black people have such a chip on their shoulder.

Iv got lots of black friends and they have no problem taking the micky out of me and vice versa-

I think you answer your own question.

and since when havent Spanish been caucasian?

I didn't say they were (I am 1/2)... if you followed the dialog between Selphie and I, you would have seen I was referring to people thinking Spanish(speaking)=Mexican as a default.

You can't see the wood for the trees in your actions. Your typos speak volumes.

Even in jest, which I hope this post is. It's disturbing.

Disturbing? Oh, ofcourse. Yes. Black people are always the victim, never us white folk. Dude, if you don't like racist jokes, ignore them. Don't ***** to us because you have a problem with it. It's your problem, we're an aspect of your life, if you make us one...and you can't change us. Either change yourself, leave, or tolerate us.

The same old lines, regurgitated over and over. None is as blind as he that will not see.
