you know i can understand not liking someone for their beliefs,or not understanding them---but i absolutely can not understand how you could dislike someone because of their f*****g skin colour.its absolutely beyond me.makes zero sense

This is messed up. I have not encountered this due not being a POC but I am just aghast about this happening from family, even their own mothers! Just appalling. I am sorry this is a thing.

Wow! These stories are so awful. Everyone needs to keep speaking out!

Couldn't keep on reading, have to finish another day. Just fuckibg breaks my heart.

Most of the people where I live are tan, but some aren't and they usually get called white foreigners :(

[Necessary background: I'm of East Asian descent] My white father in law, while sitting down to a meal in MY house, commented that, "For all their advancements in science and technology, it's a wonder that the Chinese haven't become more civilized to use knife and fork." I nearly kicked him out of the house.

What the actual hell... Does this stuff still exist? How can people be so judgmental, alienating their own flesh and blood this way? I have a mixed daughter, and never want her to have to go through things like this. If someone is a disgusting human like this, they will never be a part of my daughters, or my own, life. There is way too much hatred in the world, and it's only by making the next generations fell loved and accepted that this garbage can end.

I am shocked that so many are shocked about what people are experiencing. As a minority, this is part of life and racism comes in many forms: subtle, explicit, from other races/ethnicities, from your own (dark vs light, etc), conscious, subconscious, etc. Part of growing up is us learning how to deal with it and move forward in spite of it and how to just stay alive and maintain your self esteem. No kid should have to learn this and it is horrible and a reminder of how far we have to go. But I am not shocked by it. Just surprised that so many others are.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I am not shocked, but I am jolted awake by something outside of my sphere of experience. These are important stories missing from museum narratives.

I’m half white half Mexican I have strong Mexican features like eyes ,hair, the only thing is I’m pale 😅 my grandma on my mums side the white part of me is racist as hell it doesn’t matter what we’re talking about always saying the n word always talking about how immigrants are ruining the country my ama from my dads side was born in Mexico and came to America to live with her mother this makes my dad a first generation immigrant and me second generation it hurts whenever people say that immigrants should go back bc they just want a better life and don’t even get me started on people at school “oh ur Mexican but ur so pale” yeah I know I can’t help it “If ur Mexican say something in Spanish to prove it” what? Ur Russian Samantha speak some Slavic to prove it It gets tiring fast

This is heart-breaking. My sister married a man who was 1/4 black and 1/4 ojibwe back in the mid-70s. Never occurred to me until maybe in the late 80s that someone might have been a d**k about it, but no one was to my knowledge. So, my nephew was 1/8th black, but many would see him and just think "black". One night a police officer gave him a little grief and called him "you people". When my nephew told us at the next get-together, the entire family exploded, all of us ranting and slapping our knees at the same time, "You people! She called you, 'You people!?'" and on and on. We were livid. I can't imagine being a person so evil that you would reject someone based on a superficial trait such as facial features, hair texture/color, or skin tone. My parents and oldest siblings all have black hair. My one sister and I have light brown hair. The family didn't reject us, dontcha know.

Damn! I'm in a very white family -- Irish descent -- and have a cousin whose mother is Chinese. So he's half Chinese with the most Irish name you ever heard. They've ALWAYS been part of the family! Even after my aunt and uncle were divorced, she was still kind and helpful to our side of the family when they'd visit Hawaii (where they all live), and my cousin brought his girlfriend to visit my parents when he came to the mainland some years back and I was fortunate enough to be there and meet him. He's a great guy with a delightful girlfriend! I think it's wonderful to have our family starting to blend more with the rest of the world. I only hope that someday people of ALL skin colors are so mixed that it becomes a completely meaningless thing!

2021 the year I wish racism would finally end. It makes me sick that we still have fellow humans being told they are less because of their color!! WTF is wrong with some people that cannot understand we are all the same beings with different traits and skin tone. Why is it still happening when we know facts real scientific facts we are the same, the good, bad and the ugly. Racism needs to die and be buried! Imagine a child growing up with a life filled with hate within their own family, so very sad.
