Huh. I'm not white.

My brother almost got his grill detailed by his wife who is Indian, think subcontinent, when he said they were a mixed raced couple.

don't know, don't care. Just thought it was interesting that the guy saying it thought we were a different something.

I experienced a good deal of prejudice when I was younger, but it seems to only happen once every few years now.

The most amazing was when I visited my now ex-wife, then g/f's family for the first time in Rocky Mount, North Carolina in 1989 (we lived in Florida). We entered their home, grandmother came up very friendly, welcomed me to her home, and immediately told me they bought bagels. Racist? Who cares, I love bagels, so cool.

Then I met her father (college music teacher) and one of his students (~20yo) who straight-faced asked me where my horns were.

You're in the south now jew-boy

awesome!

I remember the first time I toured the south - coming from Oakland CA. Very strange to meet people that go out of their way at all times to show that they are racist. It's like being on Mars down there.

I met a lot of southerns who thought, just cuz I be jew, I was different somehow. But I didn't think a one of them was really racist. Not really.

Here is an interesting article on being jewish and white.

http://academic.udayton.edu/Race/01race/white14.htm

This section got me hooked, although the article itself is pretty long winded.

A colleague and I were doing a workshop on racism and we wanted to divide the gorup into a caucus of people of color and a caucus of white people, so that each group could have more in-depth discussion. Immediately some of the white people said, "But I’m not white."

I was somewhat taken aback because although these people looked white they were clearly distressed about being labeled white. A white, Christian woman stood up and said, "I’m not really white because I’m not part of the white male power structure that perpetuates racism." Next a white gay man stood up and said, "You have to be straight to have the privileges of being white." A white, straight, working class man from a poor family then said, I’ve got it just as hard as any person of color." Finally a straight, white middle class man said, "I’m not white, I’m Italian."

My African-American co-worker turned to me and asked, "Where are all the white people who were here just a minute ago?" Of course I replied, "Don’t ask me, I’m not white, I’m Jewish!"

^ almost sounds like a joke ^

So what's this 'jew diligence' all about anyways?

 

[rooftest]

I wish my exes would leave me alone. I got an email from a recent one yesterday asking how I was doing and all that crap. Freaked me out.

I don't care if I ever here from her. It would be no prob if I wasn't the father of her child. Basically my daughter's been in mourning the last couple years.

[Old Man G Funk]

Maybe she just found out you aren't white too, and wants to have a fling with a non-white guy to freak her family out or something.

I hope you told him they were between the woodwinds and the strings.

 

[The Amish]

Damn crack smokin gypsies

 

[LordOpie]

I hope you told him they were between the woodwinds and the strings.

Truth was, I had no clue what he was talking about. When I had a free moment, I called my father and he explained. Told me not to worry about it, so I didn't.

My father's my hero.

Thats a riot. While pissing about racism you just stereotyped everyone below the mason dixon line. A little hypocritical are we?
