Lots of people make assumptions about me because of my haircut/glasses. Old people say I look like fucking Harry Potter. Well I'M NOT FUCKING HARRY POTTER YOU IGNORANT ELDERLY FUCKS.

This is not the same thing, but it is funny. When I was a freshman in high school I had this Public Enemy shirt that had the cover of It Takes A Nation... on it. I wore that shirt all the time. Of course, one of my roommates stole it circa 1998. Typing that out just now made me feel incredibly bitter for some reason. I held onto that thing for so long just to see it vanish. Anyway, I had long curly hair and I'm wearing this PE shirt standing on a street corner in Marietta, GA (not a scary place in 1988) when this 50-ish lady in a big new Cadillac looks over at me and immediately reaches to lock her doors. It's a classic case of if you knew me you'd know how profoundly ridiculous what you just did was.

Because I'm so handsome and sexy, people assume I get laid all the time, which isn't true.

It's very sad. In both ways.

Well, I have religious fanatics tell me I'm going to hell, that I shouldn't exist and that since I'm gay I must have been molested as a child, but those people are too bat-shit crazy for me to be anything but amused by them. Thankfully, I've had a fairly discrimination-free life which is surprising seeing as I came out in high school.

I get discriminated against because of the way I dress...and act...and talk. Apparently twitchy girls in black trenchcoats in the middle of summer aren't appreciated in this day and age. Damn commies.

Edited to add a to ensure that it is understood my post is a lame attempt at humour.

I was visiting a friend of mine in her home town on her 21st birthday... her hometown is west armpit usa, and we walk in to this redneck-filled bar, and I'm wearing the standard alternative "look at me, I'm hip & different" outfit (gap jeans, retro sneakers, topped off with a secondhand sport coat) and this 40-50 y.o. man says to me, "You must be in computers. Are you in computers? I'm in computers." I wanted stab him in the face with the Oktoberfest '98 pin he had in his cap. sonofabitch!

If you're a white person in America, you probably haven't experienced discrimination. I know I haven't.
I highly beg your pardon. Why don't you come and live where I live, Jabba? I wouldn't classify myself as 'white' but to the locals here, I might as well be from Norway.

The hispanic population here looks down on white people. They're some of the most prejudiced and rudest people that I've ever encountered in my life. NOT all of them, granted. God forbid if you happen to be a person of color either.

One example:

At my local HEB (grocery store for you non-Texans), I was in line at the cash register and as I moved my cart up, a woman and her husband cut in front of me. I politely told her that she had cut in line (there were people behind me as well) and she said that I should go back from where I came, that my kind wasn't wanted here. The manager was two aisles over and, though he looked over, did nothing about it. Neither did the people behind me. That's one example. I've seen people in parking lots wait for white people to get out of their cars and then go and key them up. Sad but true.

Well, Texas certainly sounds like a great place to live. I don't get the "go back where you came from" line. Isn't the speaker the immigrant?

Well, let's put it this way then..I live twenty minutes from the border of Mexico. The Valley isn't really considered part of the United States by some. Yes, we have alot of Nationals that come over here and, yes, they're even more prejudiced than the locals and even go as far as to look down upon the locals because of skin color. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's an immigrant thing because, that's just the way things are down here. I can't say the same for all of Texas because the farther north you go here, the less you see of that mentality.

I notice a little discrimanation towards myself every now and then, because I have eczema and my skin tends to get a little blotchy and red sometimes. The discrimination comes when I apply for a job or talk to a girl and then they see my skin and look at me like some sort of a leper, haha.... FUCKERS

So, if Harry Potter was Hispanic, it would be REAL discrimenation then? Go fuck yourself.

I'm not sure whether you're being serious or not, but this really does happen to me. A good deal. I have girls in relationships ask me advice on stuff and I get to totally talk out of my ass. Just kind of funny. This isn't so much descrimination as jumping to conclusions though.

What the hell am I getting at?

So how about that TexMex border, huh? People who live there must suck.

When I shave my beard off I look young as sin.

I get no respect!
