I am a minority and feeling good.Racism is there.I never let it bother me.
This is my very first forum.The people here are good and I like to read what they have on their minds.There is one individual who sent me a weird message asking if I was gay(he used the "F" word)and black or white and straight.I did not reply.I did not know how to use the Private Message link.

Yeah, I am comfortable.

I try not letting it bother me.I face obstacles each time setting foot outside my door.Yeah...I want to complain or do something about it.To me it is releasing steam.You remember this song " Don't Worry,Be Happy ".A song sticking in your minds for the next twenty years and you cannot forget.Well I think along those lines.I start to feel good.
I get into the "comfort zone".

There are fewer whites that there are races of dark skin, doesn't that technically make whites the minority?

Yes. I enjoy my being of a minority race. If other people have a problem with it, then, it is their problem and not mine. My self-esteem helps me get past the looks, words, etc. Somedays I have had to physically fight over me being a minority. But I do not have a problem with it, they do. Whoever they may be.

I'm white and have been the minority at a course.
I was literally the only while person out of 20 something teenagers there. They were all from the pacific islands - I couldn't speak their language and even when we were speaking english, we spoke it differently to eachother and I felt like they were judging me because of it. I felt like they were judging me by the clothes I wore as most days I wore jeans where and they wore shorts and jandals.

I do mind being the minority. Where I live there are many pacific islanders and sometimes I feel they are looking at me, thinking to themselves..."look at that self absorbed rich white person,"...and i'm not even rich!

By and large, for most white people, at least in the US and most of Europe, you are not the minority. Maybe you went slumming once in a bad neighborhood or you even lived in bad neighborhoods, but truly being a minority is not a few singular instances, but a lifetime of being looked at differently, treated different, whether through blatant, rude and sometimes dangerous verbal and/or physical comments and attacks, and stereotyped by even the most liberal and 'open-minded' of media outlets, etc.
At some point in our lives, all of us will face discrimination from someone for something--because we're too poor, too rich, too smart, too dumb, live in a different part of town, wear the wrong kind of clothes, etc., but that's not racism. Racism is discrimination based on someone's ethnicity. And it's wrong and sucks butt monkeys.


If you don't like my driving, stay off the sidewalk. *scoffs* Little kids...

i can see why people are uncomfortable being a minority..i went to school somewhere where there were very few white people..it did make me feel like an oddball, like nobody understood me..but then i found someone who i became best friends with, she wasnt white...and that really opened my eyes, because she was just like me! we didnt have the same tastes in movies or music, but as for our personalities, we were the exact same...it was kinda neat..
