Hmm, from grade 1 to 3, I went to a school dominated by white kids. There was only one indian and there was only one oriental kid (me). There was an older kid that slanted his eyes with his fingers and called me 'chinese.' It was during the same incident that a teacher was around to stop him. It never happened again.
In grade 9, I was walking home with this girl and in the distance, a group of kids around my age were coming my way. After parting with the girl, I recognized three of the kids as old classmates from grade 8. One of them pointed out that one of the other guys insulted me by saying, "Chinese chicken balls." They started arguing with each other for a minute with one of my former classmates defending me. That was that.
The third time was at my old college when I was working on something in the library computer lab. There was a white guy and a black guy sitting across the room from behind me. I could've sworn they were making racial jokes about me, because I was the only asian kid there and if I recall correctly, the words were along the lines of "that chink over there...chong wong." The thing that pissed me off was that this black kid was one of those guys stressing racism. So, the black kid can make fun of asians, but others can't make fun of blacks?
The fourth time I came across racism? It happened just two months ago. I was sitting on a bench at the mall when a group of high school kids walked towards me. One of them crouched, waved and said 'hi.' Then he proceeded to say, "do you speak English?" and started bowing. How the hell was I supposed to react to that? I was actually confused. Part of me wanted to knock him out. If it was outside and people weren't around, I probably would've done just that.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
