As a white male, most scholarships are unavailable to me, and colleges require a higher standard to enter.

I have to agree. It's kind of funny to complain about societal privileges if you're born a white man. I mean, how much more of an advantage can you get?

"Sorry I’m being so negative – it’s – I’m a bummer, I don’t know, I shouldn’t be, I’m a very ah you know lucky guy, I got a lot going for me I’m – I’m healthy, I’m relatively young, I’m white, thank god for that shit, boy. That is a huge leg up, are you kidding me. Oh god I love being white I really do. Seriously if your not white your missing out because this shit is thoroughly good.
It it – but – let me be clear by the way, I’m not saying that white people are better. I’m saying that being white is clearly better. Who could even argue. If it was an option I would re-up every year, oh ya, I’ll take white again absolutely. I’ve been enjoying that, I’ll stick with the white, thank you.
Here’s how great it is to be white. I could get in a time machine and go to any time and it would be f&ckin awesome when I get there. That is exclusively a white privilege. Black people can’t fuck with time machines. A black guy and a time machine is like: “Hey, I think before 1980, no thank you, I don’t wanna go.” But I can go to anytime. The year 2, I don’t even know what was happening then, but I know when I get there: “Welcome, we have a table right here for you, sir.” Oh, thank you. Oh, it’s lovely here in the year 2. I can go to any time. In the past.
I don’t wanna go in the future and find out what happens to white people because we’re gonna pay hard for this shit, you gotta know that. We’re not gonna just fall from number 1 to two. They are gonna hold us down and f&ck us in the @ss forever. And we totally deserve it. But for now – WEEEE!
Now if you – if your white and you don’t admit that it’s great, you’re an @sshole. It is great. And I’m a man. How many advantages could one person have. I’m a white man. You – you can’t even hurt my feelings. What can you really call a white man that really digs deep: “Hey Cracker.” “Oh ruined my day.” Boy, shouldn’t called me a cracker, bringing me back, owning land and people, what a drag."

I get people saying Ching Chong, Chinese, French, Spanish on me.. Chinese/Korean customers assume I'm one of them and that I could speak their language when I can't. I get the "you're smart because you're asian" when I hardly think I am. I am purely an Asian blonde. If I were to dye my hair blonde I would.
I'm like a mixture of Chinese-Filipino and Spanish and I don't speak Chinese/Mandarin and Spanish and people assume that I can. The only unique thing about me is that I can speak Greek if required to because that's the other language I can speak besides Filipino and English

This has been the topic of more well established debate for years. I doubt that Crunchyroll forums is the most productive place to have a debate on this topic. I also do not think racism is on topic with a thread about stereotyping. The two are completely separate.
Can't entirely agree with you there. Racism is the broader topic yes, but Racial stereotyping is an aspect of racism. as I believe my most recent post demonstrates.
Please do not ignore the entire post only to highlight your own skew. The purpose of my previous post was to illustrate the futility of the debate in an attempt to keep the conversation from diverging into another common debate about the relationship between affirmative action and race. The direct definition of racism (and race in general) is so broad, that each person may have a completely different idea of what the topic could be.
Let's keep the conversation going in a way that answers the question the OP had, which was "Have you ever been racially sterotyped?" using their opening statements as an example of how to relate to the OP's post and format our own responses in an orderly manner.
The OP gave an example of what he/she thought was "racial stereotyping" and most likely wanted to strike a common thread among peers. I feel that the discussion of affirmative action has little to do with " A white kid asked me why I talk like a white person..." .
As a shared experience, I have been asked by my black peers "Why do you talk like a white person?" I have been, in the OP's opinion, relating to their same circumstances, "racially stereotyped".
My own skew? Whatever. Carry on.

.... I'm Black nuff said.
If I wear a Suit, I'm a muslim. If i wear baggy jeans, I'm a thug. If i wear sweat pants, I'm lazy. If It's dark out, I'm a thief. If I have a girlfriend I'm a playa. If I'm solo I'm on drugs. If I have money it's gotten illegally. If I'm broke it's because I refuse to work. Basically in the USA... as long as I breathe someone has a problem with me. And now that I've voiced my opinion... I'm an agry black man.

Sorry if you didn't mean it that way but your last line was .. funny... in a dark humour "ain't that true" sort of way.
Surely that's not everyone you meet? here in Canada at my job depending on my shift I'd say 60% of my co-workers are... well... not sure how to categorize them because they don't collectively self categorize as a monolithic 'black'. Some talk of a Jamaican Heritage, for some rare few it's Haiti, then there's the ones from Giana. I personally tend not to have expectations of my coworkers based on where they or their parents were from before they became Canadian. Though on the other hand, because I look 'white' (I'm actually of many national origins including Native Canadian) It's assumed that I think I'm the boss or have a line to the boss. Since our immediate supervisor is originally from Hong Kong I find this Ironic.

It was meant to be a little funny. But actually that is fine. "Black" would only refer to X-slaves in the USA. Mainly because every other race that we consider black has roots elsewhere that can be proven or traced. Much like it's a bit cruel to call a Chinese person and a Japanese person "Asian" when they have completely different heritages. While I may be the son of Slaves I cannot attest to the Cultures of Haiti or Africa like others can. The only History I have, the only culture I have is here in the USA. And while I know no other Home, I live with every negative Stereotype possible. Minus "cant dance" " Small pecker"..... By stereotype the only thing I'm good for is screwing and being a slave. Every other aspect of me as a person is below average... (by stereotype).
Though we all have different Stories we can all understand that Stereotypes and racism are not needed. They are built from ignorance. Yet we all are racist, at least a little. It does not mean we should spread these ideas. Keep them to yourself is the easiest way to stop racism. Meaning when I see a bunch of Spanish people, I shouldn't assume they all Drive honda civics and refuse to speak english. Though the thought might cross my mind. By not acting on it or voicing it, Racism dies a little that day. But the moment I walk up and ask them, "So what color is your civic, HAHA, you dont understand english anyway HA HA HA"..... The racism has grown 100fold in two sentences.

Whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant, the waiters/waitresses would start speaking to me in Mandarin or Hokkien, or whichever dialect they speak and I sit there looking confused because I have no idea what they just said. I am not Chinese.
Whenever I go to a Japanese restaurant, the exact same thing happens, but they speak to me in Japanese. Fortunately, I actually do understand a little bit of Japanese so I can usually tell them that I'm not actually Japanese without a confused look on my face.
Ever since 9/11 whenever I go to the airport I am 100% always picked for "random" explosives residue check. And my passport is always scrutinized very very carefully
Random white trash and abos on the street keeps on telling me to "go back to where you came from". I live in Australia and I was born in Australia, so I'm already where I came from >_>
