If you are a white person in America, have you experienced racism or racist abuse?

    I've had police harass me (twice) in a way that would have been interpreted as racist except that I'm "white" (as were they).  They stopped and frisked me for walking along a public rural road where almost everyone drives.

    One of the difficulties of being black in America is that, when something bad happens to you, you don't necessarily know if it's "because of racism" or just because bad stuff happens to people from time to time.

    Yes. Of course I have. You think no one is racist against whites? I really don't care if they kick me out because I'm white. Who wants to do business with racists anyhow?

    Yes.  A friend, who is black, got a scholarship from National Merritt with a lower score than I had.  I'm happy for him but it wasn't fair.

    Yes.  I work in education.  It’s quite common to deny white teachers access to certain committees and resources.  They call it diversity and inclusion these days.

    Yes I have, but it was due to my veteran's status.  I am a disabled Vietnam Vet and was discriminated against by Trumpers who never served.  Also discriminated against by my Southern Baptist Cult "preacher" brother who doesn't believe liturgical Christians are Christians.  BTW, I've witnessed him commit heresy, blasphemy, and sacrilege on numerous occasions.

    I was flat out told that because I was not a minority I would not get the job I applied for. When I talked to an attorney about it they said I have no case, as discrimination only exists for minorities to benefit.

    My dad (who is white) was promised a promotion at his work it was taken away from him because the company wasn't "diverse" enough so the promotion went to a less qualified black woman (we'll call her Jane).  My dad had to do Jane's job because she had no idea what she was doing.  Jane was fired a couple years later because she wasn't very good at her job
