    i don't know how common it is, but it definitely happens and I've experienced it in the past. i think racial discrimination is more subtle more often than not. however, sometimes people can be blatant about it. for example, many escorts won't see black men. this is a very common occurrence

    Only in America could a white guy k--- a black kid for no reason and then turn around and try to sue the black kids family for 100 million in damages. So yea that’s just my perspective as a white dude

    If you’re Black or Hispanic, you’re the classic boogie man. You go into a store, you’re getting harassed/followed around by security. You walk the streets, women clutch their purses tight or switch their bags from one hand to the other to keep it away from you. I personally haven’t had any real run-ins with cops, but I’ve known plenty of people who have been stopped by cops at gunpoint simply because they match some random description. I have yet to experience someone saying something overtly racist to me in the streets but some of the other things I have experienced.

    Not that it’s a competition but South Africa was and still is the most racist country in the world.

    fair but i don't think elementary & high school bullying means much in terms of racism because kids are savage with anyone who stands out and is in the minority. The real world begins after high school
