Yes. I have been denied an apartment rental, denied a job, and once thrown out of a party of Swiss people in a foreign country due to my ethnicity. (I would prefer not to reveal my background/ethnicity here).

Considering that I am now in my 70s, and that I have counted only 6 episodes of ethnic prejudice in my life that actually speaks well of the people I've known over the years; less than one episode every 10 years on the average. Not that bad.

@SW-User The worst one was the Swiss party. At one point I actually feared they would hurt me. And I was with a group of rich Swiss young people who were mannerly and prep school and college educated; I did not expect it.
