Ugh! I know just what you're talking about! I've had several people tell me I wasn't black enough. I'm sorry, I didn't realize I required anything more than certain genes in order to be black. I'll get right to work on that! It's funny in a depressing sort of way.

Aye, the worst is being called an Oreo.... not because it is insulting, but just because people put negative emphasis on such a delicious cookie.
Oreo cookies are only the single most scrumptious cookies on the entire planet. God.. I love them. *drool*

And blow pops are the delicious suckers that have bubble gum in the middle the best flavours being blue-rasberry, cherry, and sour apple.

Yeah..... it goes both ways though. If I am not getting "Wow you speak well for a black person! If were on the phone I'd never guess you were black!" (Although the same person that said this also ends sentences with prepositions and uses words such as warsh and so on but I didn't comment.) Then I am getting "Why do you sound so proper, or why do you sound white?"
I've just decided not to talk at all.
Edit: OMG.. who changed my signiture!!!!  I JUST NOTICED!!!

Man, getting that is even worse when it comes from a family member. I picked up my cousin from a friends house and one of the frist things he said was "See, I told you she sounds white!" Of couse I let him have it when we got in the car.
Oh, I looked up Satanism. Actually a big chunk of them do not believe in God, or Satan for that matter. They worship themselves as gods, or something like that. I thought the same a while back. I'm Pagan and got accused of it once or twice, so I figured I'd do a little Googling, so I could school some people. Hope that makes for one less annoying dumb person.

Guys, you still have to reach the point where to be a propper vasque you need to belong to the 0- blood group.
No mather if you have lived in the vasque country all life, you speak vasque, you know all about vasque culture. You need to have a propper blood type.
And the worst part, this was said by a politician
And calling you an Oreo must mean you're tasty, sweet and bad for diets

I travelled overseas a lot in the past, mostly to countries that speak English as a first language (USA, Europe, etc). It's so irritating when I speak to people on the train/bus/tour group and people are like, "You speak English rather well." Are they implying that I'm supposed to be unable to string together a proper sentence in English just because of my country/race? Or that I should have a funny accent? *growls*

Be happy your not an Ethiopian in Israel.
Its sad and humorous all the same. What I mean by this is, you will see -very- religious Jews, wearing large golden chains, U.S. sports teams hats, and general althletic clothing because they think thats how "proper civilised black people are suppose to dress" This was back in 1999 so it may not be true anymore, but it was quite odd when I met them. Oh, the influence of MTV on people who don't know english.
Meaning: They thought if they dressed like Snoop people would treat them better.

Nice chitchat with a random someone on a random MMORPOG or whatever the name. Everything allright. Having fun, killing things, etc...
Then the question where're you from comes.
"Spanish"
"OMG You don't look like Spanish" (undertitle: You're not a moron, you speak propper english, you are able to work in a team, You cannot be spanish!!")
It's that or just the person disbanding the party because "they don't group with spanish because they're all idiots".

You don't -look- Spanish? On an MMORPG? Wtf? That's like somebody coming up to me in WoW and saying "Wow, you don't look white!" No dude, Night Elves don't come in white. "
Iridiel2005-11-18 11:30:25
It was in WoW. Seems spaniards have quite a bad reputation there, so if you're nice you don't look spanish.
As it's an RP server, I keep insisting I am from near Stormwind, and that Spain must be some orc zone if they're all so rude.

The worst I get is people going "Oh my god, you're an Aussie?" but yanks tend to say it like ausssssie rather than Ozzy (like ozzy osbourne, same sound) to which i reply something smart ass like, bloody hell no or something else like that..
I don't see racism as a probelm where I am, if someone is black yellow green or white i don't like anyone! I'm lifeist.
nah seriously though, I don't get racism. Either you're a tosser or you're a good bloke.....honestly.

This is one reason I'm glad they made that dress code change in the NBA. But that little bit of a change came to late, though. Its funny, my friends and I were talking about something similar the other day.

That's crazy! I'm sorry you had to run into that. Did you just flat out leave, or call them out on their ignorance? The most I got when I played were sex jokes, because there were no other real girls (not just females played by guys) that played in my linkshell.
