So have you?
During school? Outside? Have you ever been favoured over someone else and/or made racist comments about someone?
I've been a victim of both. Mostly in school.
I live in UAE, which is an Arab country btw (and I'm not arab) and this one time, my Eng. Literature teacher gave me a 70, and gave all Arabs 80+. I know maybe I did mess up, but then later she was fired because of her extreme favourism to Arabs. (when the teacher changed I got an 87, whilst the same arabs got 60~70)

And again in school if you walk around all these local girls just come up to you and start saying stuff about you in Arabic and then laugh fakely (....)

....and a whole bunch of other things.

White guys get the first pick.
Then the black guys.
And finally the asian guys.

Most people experience racism at least once in their life, even white people. For example, even though I believe statistically, white people might have the upper hand in many situations (for example, getting a job, unfortunately), many times white people get wrongly accused of being racist just because they're white. For example, my friend (white) always sat at the same table in the cafeteria in high school, and when some people (they happened to be black) took his table, he asked if he could have it back, and they started accusing him of being racist, even though he said nothing having to do with race.

Not trying to play the pity card for white people or anything, just saying.

Once I went into a Korean shop to look at the cute traditional shoes they were selling. I was curious as to how much they were, but when I asked the older woman working there got angry and shooed me and my sister out of the store, yelling that our feet our too big for them. And I was like, ummm, I didnt' even ask to buy them. Even if they wouldn't fit my size 8 1/2 feet, for all she knew I could have been buying them for someone else. But whatever.

In middle school, my teacher would call every student a food name according to their race.
I'm Chinese and he would call me "eggroll." >____<''

Then in high school, freshmen year, my english teacher was like, "Chinese people don't smile...Maybe it's because they have bad teeth and they don't want to show it."
I was literally like O_______O. And 95% of the class was Chinese.

ehh.. favoritism. xP at school, usually the "populars", who don't do crud when it comes to school work, get the highest grades, next to the people who work hard. they don't get yelled at for not doing work, but others that missed a worksheet or two gets nagged at to finish their work.

and then there's favoritism at home too. my mom spoils my older brother and younger sister to death. you'd always see my mom pampering them and hear her yelling at me. *sigh*. i think i might have Middle Child Syndrome. =S

My Spanish teach was huge on favoritism.
If my friends or I would forget our homework (and honestly we did) we would have another chance to bring it the next day but if other kids forgot it they would most likely get detention.

Oh, and there was this time where one of the Vietnamese teacher looked down on me because I didn't want to be in the medical magnet like the other 1658462356 Asian kids in school. It pisses me off and I lost my respect for her as a teacher. You can tell she preferred my friend over me.
She asked me what I wanted to be, I replied, "Business : Marketing & Advertisement, I want to be an advertising copywriter."
She gave me a look like I wasn't normal. Then she asked, "What does your parents want you to be?"
"They want me to get payed doing something I like and want to do as my career."
"Is that what they really want? Your parents are Asian, so am I, so I would understand them."
"My parents are different from other Asian parents, they want me to do what I want."

I said the last line out of anger, I'm sure there are other parents out there that don't force their kids to do what they want.
I don't think she knows that advertising copywriters can make up to $50,000-90,000 per year. Sorry, a little rant.

Living in the United States....racism and favoritism are inevitable. =O

with so many minority groups, it just really can't be helped.

Everyone thinks that their race is the "best."

I was playing basket ball with some of the people my friends knew, and some called me "yao-ming' which was kind of weird cause i'm only 5'7" and a girl. but i guess since we were playing basketball they couldn't think of any other racial comment.
but they were pretty much all minorities as well.

I also remember at this McDonald's once my mom and i had already gotten something and were sitting down, there was this white lady [probably in her late 30s or early 40s] waiting in line, and a group of around 5 black kids hanging around. They were the ghetto/hip hop types. I don't exactly know what happened, but the white lady shooed them away and said "that's why you guys get that reputation!"

I also remember once at school this white guy came up the stairs and was complaining about the black kids downstairs he said something like "I don't have anything against black people, but it's hard not to when they act like that."

I personally don't care what race anyone is, but i can't STAND ghetto speech/clothes/etc.

[_escape.reality*]

yeeaahhh , i get it alot in school with friends . =\
likkeee , when we play sports and we choose teams ,
the captains would choose all the white and black people
first , and then the asians because they say "asians are much help in sports."

Oh yeah I've experienced both sides of the spectrum.
When I lived in Guam (U.S. territory, English as primary language), some of my Filipino teachers would converse to some of my classmates in Filipino and favoritism was very obvious.

And since Guam is a tourism spot, every time my friends and I went to a hotel to just hang out, my non-Asian friends would get kicked out and I wouldn't because security would assume I was a tourist.

And of course there are the "ching chong", "floss", "chingy", "chink", "ricepicker" names because I'm Chinese. But that's only from my friends. I wouldn't tolerate it from anyone else even though it did get on my nerves sometimes.

I guess I'm lucky, I've only experienced favoritism. My white half is ignored, and my asian half is 'praised' because most of my friends are into Japan (I mostly having gaming / anime friends >_>). Oh and some people say I'm smart just cause I'm asian.. even though Im only half.
