Today I was called a 'Medley'. Not really the most smartest of insults, but being English-German-Romanian-Japanese, it is obvious it was a racial insult. I have been brought up in a multiculturual society till I was 8 and moved away to where I li
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

ve now, everyone is completely racist! It is sickening. I have mostly English features, my eyes and skin are more asian, my nose is Romanian and those big old lines under my eyes are from my German Granmam. Anyone who's different gets insulted. Boo to racism!

I don't think that person was trying to be racist. To me, racism isn't calling people names, but treating them as less than a human being just because they're a different race.

It wsxn't the name calling that gets to me. Alot of times when I've been out with friends before (Only one other of them was a different culture at the time), I stick out like a sore thumb. I'm aout 2-6 inches taller than them all with bright coloured hair, so people notice me. I was tripped up by a boy and called 'Jackie Chan't' (terribly thought insults xD), I've been spat on, had my coats stolen and written on with insults, been cornered and insulted aswell as one time a grown man slant his eyes with his fingers and air-thrusted his mate who pulled his eyes the same. My friends are always heping me though by telling shop clerks in the stores (who sometimes chuck the people out) and notifying police men. The 4 people who cornered me were arrested as one of them had a sharp piece of glass. It's just the guy calling me 'Medley' reminded me it's a problem with all races. I've seen Asian, Black or Hispanic people get at Caucasians and vice versa. It's mainly the locals though.

Ok that's definitely racism. D: I hope they stop harassing you...

It's stopped abit now because people are being charged and arrested. It never stops, once in awhile someone will say something or do something. I noticed it happens whenever I'm walking past pubs or nightclubs now. People can't control themselves once their drunk.

Oh I've been called 'naz.i'. My Granmam was like eleven during the war and her family escaped (being jews aswell) to the UK. She was anyting but a naz.i. Not all Germans are naz.is and not all naz.is are Germans! No one ever gets at me for being Romanian apart from being called a gypsy, but that's nothing. I can't move away, I'm stuck on an island. :( But when I'm eighteen I'm travelling with my savings. £eighth-hundred so far! I was asked once to do asian p.orn by some creep, it was freaky as I was with my kind of friend Ani who is Thai and he was saying it to her aswell. It was last year so I was about twelve. :S Alot of the racism is quiet p.erveted or threatening. So happy it's calmed down now.

i totally agree, it all gets so annoying. i have never been called a name that is racist but i always see and hear it going on and i put my self in place of the person gbtting called all these names and i realize how mean it is to do that. it goes on everywhere you hear it on tv all the time. i just dont find racist jokes funny, same as calling someone fat, tall, short too thin, just dont judge people by how they look or where they are from.
