Have you personally experienced racist remarks?

I have been called a F--ing Whitey numerous times by natives here. Most recently when I wouldn't give one some change.
That's odd. 15 posts and most of them in the last 24 hours and you've been called 'Whitey' numerous times?
How about we change the word " Racsist " to simply say negative comments..
People who wish to insult others will find any thing to pull apart ...Physical traits are always first...
Should we call it all Racsism?

I admit it...I was a little short for the vending machine and identified myself as a CanCon Native.
If the comments pertain to "race" then they are racist. If the comments are about physical attributes, country of origin, etc...then they are bigoted.
Did things get out of control on here? There is only one recent post above yours. The rest are from Feb. 09. Not too recent.8O
You shoulkd have told him that you have dual citizenship and being Canadian is only on the surface--almost being like an apple
Yep. I've been accused of being in the human race. I've never been accused of being Canadian, though. Twice I have been accused of being American, but not maliciously.
Someone called me "squaw" once but as it came from someone of a lesser species I didn't care much. Les took exception to it, though.

Racism?
The African American community of Victoria tried to discourage my wife from marrying me because in their opinion society wasn't ready for such marriages. The Muslim community harassed her because I wasn't Muslim, and the Ethiopian community even ha one gy threaten her with violence, though of course he was too chicken to reveal himself and so remained anonymous.
An uncle in law was told a job wasn't available, yet the same day his white friend checked, and sure enough it was still available. This same uncle in law made a point of not wearing a baseball cap when driving his nice car or else the cops would pull him over. A brother in law got stopped by the same cop many times until he finally asked the cops name, id, etc. and only then did the cop finally get the hint and left him alone.
Another brother in law in Kitchener got harassed by the cops as soon as his new dreads were remotely apparent, and he gave up on that idea quickly enough.
And another bro in law was told an apartment was not available, but when I checked, sure it was.
Same with anti-french and anti-English bigotry in Victoria an Ottawa.
Canada truly is one big dysfunctional family. And then we wonder why we get the governments we get.
