Yep..that's all I've got..problem is it ACTUALLY happened to me and ended up forcing me to change careers because of it...
I for one refuse to make skin colour or gender the number one priority when making hiring decisions, or voting.

America may be known for it's global insensitivity now, but so were the Brits and other European powers when they colonized Africa, the Americas, and Asia
They've had many more years of institutionalized hate and racism practice.
Granted, while you have neo-nazis in Europe, the whole white power movement seems to be based in the American South. I've seen worldwide websites/servers/forums for these things based in Alabama and neighboring states.
General rule is, people are farking stupid everywhere.

In the UK we live in a society where minorites still do not have equal opportunity- no doubt about it- I can't speak for the US, but its seems to be not much different (NYCs post seem to suggest so).

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

It usually takes the form of one of two comments:
"You speak English really well." I hope I don't have to explain how this comment is condescending in the extreme.
The other is "Where are you from?" This question seems innocuous until I answer, "New Jersey," to which the response is "No, I mean where are you really from?" At this point, I know what they're really asking me, but I respond to the actual question posed and say "I was born in New York but grew up in New Jersey." At that point, I either get an exasperated look or they then ask the real question, "What ethnicity are you?" or "What's your cultural background?"
