Has anyone ever accused you of being racist?

DearAmbellina211341-45, F
Yes.

I was 17 and I lived in the same tiny rural town I was born in. I had never been anywhere outside Tennessee or met anyone who wasn't white or black.

A childhood friend of mine had moved to California and when she came back to Tennessee to visit, she brought her dorm roommate from Berkley.

When we were all hanging out and talking, I used the word 'Oriental' instead of 'Asian' in conversation when the topic of local ethnicities came up. That girl from Berkley jumped my shit, calling me a racist for using that term.

I apologized and felt so bad, because I genuinely had never been taught that that was seen as a derogatory term. 馃槗馃槗馃槗 I felt like a stupid hick. Never used that word again either.馃

On here?
Yes. But I've been accused of being a terrorist too so it doesn't mean shit.
In person? Nah.

Not that I can remember, but tbh I'd probably forget that. I mean I've basically lived on the Internet since I was 12 so it'd be almost inconceivable that no one ever called me racist.
Kae2056-60, FVIP
Shockingly yes.

The worst of it was .It was a friend I had known for many years. My response was I'm a realist.. not a racist.

Meaning good or bad - I wont ignore facts just because race is on the agenda.

She then said "Ok supposing you saw two babies one White & one Black crawling toward the edge of a cliff which one would you save" ?

My response was I would try and save them both.

She then said "well suposing you could only save one"

I then said I would save the one which was most viable.

After which she graciously conceded.
I was not racist .

Hmmmm
ScarletWitch26-30, F
Lmao yes. One time I was working at my job... And this couple walks in and I had to tell them to please put on a mask and I'm doing my job and as I'm going through the aisles I come back and they're not wearing their mask so I go up to them and I say can you guys please put on your mask and they do it and I walk away and then when they're ready to pay for their stuff they go out front and they complain and saying that I targeted them because they were black and I was a white racist girl and someone should talk to the manager about it that I called them out for not wearing a mask because I was racist and when I heard this I literally balled my eyes out and I was absolutely hurt and they were calling me the white girl in the green and I was just like what the fuck did they just say... Did they just assume what I was.. I am literally Native American Navajo they can go fuck themselves.

@ScarletWitch My friend who's black got accused of being racist because she didn't smile enough at this white Karen years ago haha. People are dick heads.
TurtlePink22-25, F
@ScarletWitch I鈥檓 so sorry thst happened to you 馃槩
PrincessAwesome22-25, F
Yes, but it's usually just from conservatives trying to defend their own racism.
PrinceArthasM
Only those damn honkys.
PrivateHellM
Yes. But since I know the truth, it honestly doesn't affect me. The word has been tossed about so much now days, it only has meaning if you allow it too.
SpoiledbratF
especially here. @PrivateHell
U53RN4M331-35, M
Yes. That seems to be the go-to response these days when having an argument.
No. That鈥檇 be kind weird. My girlfriend鈥檚 black.

Only a couple times. Once by another white guy 馃槀
YoungPoet34526-30, F

nowic261-69, M
yep, once I was talking about a dog. I described it as a black dog. You guessed, I was told I was racist. They didn't understand when I said, "You're not the sharpest tool in the shed. Are you!"
PrivateHellM
Yes. And if the word meant anything anymore, it might have offended me, but it doesn't and neither do the people who use it.
TurtlePink22-25, F
You鈥檙e far from racist. I know you @PrivateHell
PrivateHellM
@TurtlePink thank you. Like I say, it doesn't bother me when I am called one because I know the truth.

I have been accused of being a rascal. And that is unfair.
Yes... and, at one time, they would have been right to do so.

@SirBenedictTheSecond Ben, sometimes I think you're fracked up. No offense.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays


[quote][/quote]At the same time, fracking has led to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Wastewater injection from fracking wells has also caused a spike in earthquakes. It has caused local air quality and safety problems. And while they're cleaner than coal, oil and gas from fracking are still fossil fuels. Sep 12, 2019[quote][/quote]
