Oooh that's kinda interesting how you assumed it was a guy, in fact it was a girl...

But in any case, it was rather upsetting, esp. because it was done in an academic setting with a TEACHER present.

I did get teased a lot for being Portuguese, because they considered me "white". In essence, I was scorned for not having a darker skin tone.

Gross! I swear to God. You know what's weird? I don't know if I've ever been teased (to my face) about my race by anyone was who was white. Kind of makes you think...

Natsume said:

Hmm your right.. That was a little harsh of me to automatically think it was guy... I slapped myself twice.. Sorry... Just letting you know I sympathize!

silkyspread said:

I know! I just think that IceNine has some sort of ulterior motive for this thread. Making observations and all that junk... thanks for your sympathy



I'm just waiting for Natasha to come along and put in her two cents. lol

(perhaps to prove we all grow up being called names)

i grew up in a racist town. when i was 8, i remember walking down the street with my mom and some "people" called us niggers.

More like her dollars worth of babbling...

Natsume said:

Indeed.

Ignorance of people makes me sick!

Dirty Mexican!

Now if that doesn't make you sick, I don't what will. it was especially sad cuz I am so clean.

The first thing a person sees is what we look like, and that opens up the door to those who choose to keep us under their thumb.

It is sick, and the pain can last a lifetime.

It seems, from reading this thread, the only good insult anyone can get on you is based on race or physical appearance. For instance, the kid last year calling me a "dirty Paki" ...mind you, I'm not from Pakistan, or the middle east, nor is any of my family. That kid was just dumb enough to believe it.

I haven't been truely offended by someone's words since about 7th grade when some kid commented on my flat chest. Something about being as flat as a board or summat. It made me quite angry, actually. And sad. But I have since gotten over that.

Edit: And I ain't dirty, neither.

That's right, I remember you told me about this. What a dumbass

Racial slurs of any kind make me uncomfortable. I hate it when they are used even in jest.

BattierBeMyDaddy said:

It is very sad, because little things said (espeically when we are at a young age) do leave an imprint on us growing up sometimes for life, which is sad. Children are so candid and most of the time just say what they see.. But when you are old enough to know the difference between right and wrong that should be caught and corrected. I remember when i was younger someone (who was the same age as me) told me i was fat. I WAS 13. At that age, you know the difference and it left a mark on me growing up for a very long time. To this day, i would like to see that kid and say look at me now you balding piece of crap!

LaVisHh said:

I agree totally. I'm just amazed at the stupidity of some peoples comments. It's really sad reading some of the racial slurs you guys have been called.It's making me angry

i've got thick skin, and i'm pretty certain that i developed it from being called names, but i've been fortunate enough to have blocked them out...


i don't get offended by anything that people say about me... i get offended by the shit that i hear people saying about other people...

i cop insults all the time.."meat man"..."humungo cock" ..."rhino donger" ...it hurts... ...it really really hurts

people can be so cruel sometimes...

silkyspread said:

I hate this shit. When I was in the 8th grade, a guy that I was digging on told me the reason he didn't want to date me was because my breasts were too small. I was crushed.

Years later I am finally angry about it, but it's been a while and I was somewhat of a 'late' bloomer. I'd like him to see me now. He'd be kicking himself.

Natsume said:

I was especially livid at first. I mean, you know the story behind the Pakistan thing. It's amazing if you say something enough, sometimes you yourself start to believe it, so it took me a moment to realize I wasn't really from Pakistan anyway...

..But then it just made me madder. Saying such things is just ignorant, and uncalled for. Silly people.

Then, this one time, this guy called IceNine called me fat.

I've been called "nigger", like almost every black man has, so that's nothing new.
I can sit here and write a full length book about many instances that I went through (and still continue to go through), and if I did that, some people might say i'm complaining or blaming the white man for stuff.

Natsume said:

Today someone asked me if I was Jewish, and when I said yes, they said "Why do Jews have big noses?" and I said "Because air's free"(heard it before). Then I told her it was a racist joke. She laughed then asked me why Jews are known to be stingy and I sat down with her and told her it was a stereotype and wasn't true.

Freak

A young lady cursed me out in the chatroom one night.
I mean she went off!

LaVisHh said:

Goodness. Honey, you've got nothing to be insecure about. You're a 10.

very recently i have been refered to as a 'HATER'
also a couple of other things that i dare not repeate
in 'mixed' company...
oh, wait a minit,
i've been refered to as a murderer, i think that's offensive.
oh, oh, then there was that time a d.a. refered to me
as a profligate wretch. (he was taken of the case, because it involved his illigitmit daughter)
other names would include:
procrastinator,
instigator,
racist,
pretty boy,
PIMP,
conman, and
deadbeat dad ( of couse it wasn't mine... but did i get an appology???)
edit for insulting way i put it

Perhaps you should've came to the young lady first, rather than talked to one of her friends. That doesn't present caringness, it presents nothing more than nosiness. If you want to know something, you should come to the source.

You may have thought you were being thoughtful, but it was quite the opposite. You were really quite rude, and I doubt anyone cursing you would be something you didn't deserve in the first place.

Enough of that, don't you think?

Edit: Not to mention, I think that entire statement is really quite irrelevant to this thread. I didn't call you anything except "nosy," while I remember cursing you quite a bit. Sometimes, the truth hurts. Though, I doubt any truth got through your thickhead.
