It has never happened to me actually and if it did happen i really wouldn't care...unless they came at me with a bat or something. But i have seen it happen to others and i just think it's rude. V_V

It happened to me when I have a relationship with the foreigner, I was misjudged by her sister. She said she came from 3rd world country and she is just nothing for you. Well those words we're kinda offensive but there is nothing I could do but to prove myself. However we already broke up. So there is no point to prove.

Well you shouldn't think much about it. There's alot of people out there like her and they have no buisness misjudging people like that. Maybe they do it to make themselves feel better and feel like they're superior to others. Well hopefully it doesn't happen to you again and if it does just ignore it- no matter how hard it is.
well good luck in life :D

Yeahh no more worries about it. I just remember it when you have this discussion that is why I shared it to you. That's what exactly my attitude everytime people would discriminate me, ignore them and prove them that I am the best and they are loser.

I think there are people who really discriminate other people because of race but I think in order to overcome this, one has to show or prove to others that one is better and more educated than them. Some people tend to discriminate just because they can fluently speak a certain language or because of their skin color and you just have to prove to them your worth. On the other hand, you don't have to prove it to people who discriminate others because it's not worth one's time and effort in dealing with these kind of people.

Yep I completely agree. You don't have to prove anything to someone who discriminates you. They're wasting their time making rude remarks of people just because of their race. I'm glad I live in an area where racism is very rare. Everybody is either friendly or just stays away from certain people. Trying to avoid conflict is best.
