Just because we are "White"

Just because we are "White" No I wouldn't back .. a long time ago .. when I was paying for school by (among other things) working as a security guard. the Race card got played all the time. Usually went something like this: Them: "You're doing this (kicking them out of the hotel) because I'm (insert racial group here)" Me: "No I'm doing this because it's 3 am, and your shouting at each other other and throwing empty beer bottles at each other in the hallway when everyone else in the hallway is trying to sleep and has complained to my boss about this. oh and I'm (insert racial group here) too" Them: "You? you're too white to be an Apple (functionally similar to being called an Oreo)"

To people, I don't "look hispanic". People always look really surprised when I speak spanish. In high school I was so used to hearing "What! You're spanish? You're lying." No. I'm pretty sure I'm hispanic. And yeah, I know I "look white". But it hasn't bothered me in a while. Many Hispanic and Latino people look "white". Thats because Spaniards are WHITE!!!!! Sometimes you might have "white" features when some of the people your lineage had "white" features. Thats just the way it goes. The people that tell you that you dont look hispanic dont know what hispanic looks like. Why bother being upset when they just dont know what theyre talking about?

A lot of people from the west coast or up north have moved down here, and cannot believe I'm actually from my hometown. I don't have much of an accent, do not drink sweet tea or eat grits, and am not ultra conservative... so apparently I'm not from around here. When I explain that my family is from California and Washington DC, it always makes things suddenly okay.

When I explain that my family is from California and Washington DC, it always makes things suddenly okay. Now that you menton it i get that a lot too, Because I speak with clarity and don't use slang, street or otherwise everyone assumes I'm from London rather than the midlands where I was born. People then get even more confused when I point out my family is from yorkshire which has a bit of a reputation for heavier accents and it's own dilect. Although I'm getting a bit off subject. To add to my prior post as somone mentoned about "white people thinking people calling racism is racist" or words to that effect in a previous page. It's not the fact people might be concious of people being racist towards them that grinds my gears, after all it's sadly somthing that people do have to tolerate, even though they shouldn't rightly have too. My annoyance is from those few who assume "being white = you're racist". That's my annoyance. Which is in itself a form of racial steriotyping. I do apologise if I missed your point however.

For instance a lot of times being white means "devoid of race" to people. Which is in turn a stereotype.

Yeah....... prejudice towards red heads can be a bit weird sometimes...... Not exactly racially stereotyped but stereotyped in the form of prejudice.
