Nationalities

I've had a few racial encounters... it doesn't seem to let up as you get older.

I remember having to work weekends...
and I was the only non-white in the team on site.
the senior manager will come around asking everyone what they want to drink... coffee, tea, cuppa... etc as he is buying.
He then leaves to get the drinks while we're all working.
Break time arrives, and we leave the 'war room' (the room where we work in), and then go to a break room.
Every one else is sipping their drink of choice, plus enjoying biscuits.
and here I am, witnessing how the 'spare' coffee was giving to a visitor who wasn't even there in the morning (when we ordered our drinks). Essentially the visitor was given my coffee.

The manager doesn't apologise to me... he doesn't even acknowledge what he did. No no, I should obviously be more understanding.
It's always that 'subtle little extra' that always does you in.

He just grabs the biscuits/cookies packet, and then wiggles it at me... like I'm some caged animal that will be content with a cookie over the coffee that I had ordered.

It's not about the coffee really. It's the principle. You know?

I'm a Filipino and in my own country there are city people who make fun of those from the province about their accents and how they are. Many of these people are not well-off and some live in the slums of the city. Was an offshore engineering support in France for 3 months and the people I worked with were pretty welcoming and hospitable. In other countries I experienced some kind of racism but I fought back most of the time with even harsher insults, luckily I did not get to the point of being deported.

I’m a middle class American. Too rich for assistance and too poor for loopholes. Most taxed and least heard.

Half English,half Welsh.
I have an English accent but i can speak Welsh. Couple of times in North Wales i've had people insult me in Welsh as they think my living in England means i dont understand what they say. When its happens i reply in Welsh. It's funny to see their reactions.

I'm Welsh, born and raised in Wales, and a Welsh language speaker.

Very proud of my nationality.

My life is not hard because of any ethinicity, just circumstance.

I’m British of mixed English and Chinese heritage. On the whole my racial mix has worked to my advantage but occasionally one does encounter racism from both sides of my heritage 🇬🇧🇭🇰

I'm Moroccan.
In Morocco things are good for me but abroad especially in Europe I've experienced racism based on unfounded stereotypes.

Middle eastern background living in US. It’s not easy being me at all.

I'm Swedish, born and raised and life is not hard

I’m Welsh....and it isn’t hard.....

I come from oil like so many others. And when oil is gone the population explosion will end since feeding and sustaining so many of us will become impossible..

Puerto Rican, Italian, Irish, German, Czechoslovakian, Spanish, Egyptian, Argentinian, and African American.

I'm English and life is comfortable generally.

I'm English, white Anglo saxon.

Life is not hard for me in anyway I'm exceptionally fortunate to have been born where and when I was as I was

I'm a Slav living in a Slavic country that largely suffers from self-hate and inferiority complex. It's not easy to grow up in an environment where self-deprecating is a national sport. Other than that, all is fine.

Im black and i wouldnt say my life is hard i have a engineering degree so i make good money its hard in terms of my love life but thats about it

White Privileged living in a colonised antipodean land.

American, Eastern European ancestry ...and it's mostly just embarrassing

proud to be a slav

Malaysian. Malay-Chinese descedant. As people know, Malay are mostly muslims in Malaysia. I regret born as muslims because I can't drink and can't change religion and so much can't that I really wanna do so bad.

I’m an American of mostly Scottish and Irish descent. Life is hard for me because life is hard for virtually everyone. Eventually it kills you.

White British male. Life should be easy for me, but it seems that my demographic is the most hated.

Mexican and Irish by descent, live in South Africa. Come from a working class background.

I am Canadian and my family background is Icelandic, English, Ukrainian and Irish. It’s not hard.

Pakistani and life! it's fucking hard, man! Not for everyone but maybe it's just in my head IDK!

I'm black.

I experienced a few, like stereotyping me such one saying I'm "ghetto" without getting to know me or hyper-sexualizing.

Or in work spaces doctor's and nurses will set you up to see if I'll steal.
