Two little boys:
Black skins, black skins, black skins!
-
Me and my best friend, 6 years old:
Chase them around the playground until we get so upset we tell teacher.
-
Classmates:
*racist jibberjabber*
-
Me, 15 years old:
Oh yeah, my skin is exactly the same colour as shit isn't it? Why don't you just say it?
-
Classmates:
*snigger*
-
Boy:
Nigger.
-
Me, 14 years old:
Pathetically bursts into tears.
-
Boy:
You're basically a white girl in a black girls body though!
-
Me, age 17/18:
...
-
Ex-boyfriend:
You don't really act like a black girl though...
-
Me, age 17:
...
-
Ex-boyfriend 2:
Be my little nasty girl...ooooh. I love black girls. Oh, can you be like Lil' Kim in that movie...?
-
Me, age 16/17:
...
-
Housemate 1:
Cassie, is that your makeup? *points to edge of unclean sink*
-
Me, 19 years old:
No, that's dirt.
-
Housemate 1:
Hahaha, if Cassie got involved in an Alabama Hot Pocket, you wouldn't be able to tell what was what because it would be the same colour as her skin!
-
Housemate 1's Boyfriend:
Hahaha, yeah! Would be even funnier if the guy involved was black too!
-
Me:
Guys, please can we not bring race into this?
-
Housemate 1:
Hahahahaha
-
Me:
Look, can you shut the fuck up please? It's not funny. *looks around* *surrounded by black people on bus*
-
Housemate 1:
Laughs in my face and carries on spewing shit.
-
Housemate 1's Boyfriend:
Hahahaha

Me:
Yeah I'm upset, I didn't like what you were saying on the bus.
-
Housemate 1:
Oh, I'm sorry. We were only joking though, I only meant that it would be like camouflage.
-
Me:
...
-
Housemate 2:
Yeah, she finds your hair in the shower sometimes and says "There's pubes in the shower!!" but then realises and says "Oh no, it's only Cassie's hair." Haha!
-
Me:
That's not funny.
-
Housemate 2:
*embarrassed* It's only on first look though...
-
Me and friend:
*awkward silence*
-
Housemate 1:
It's cos you're black!
-
Housemate 1:
It's cos you're black!
-
Housemate 1:
It's cos you're black!
-
Housemate 1:
It's cos you're black!
-
Housemate 1:
It's cos you're black!
-
Housemate 1:
It's cos you're black!
-
Housemate 1:
It's cos you're black!
-
Housemate 1:
It's cos you're black!
-
Housemate 1:
Oh, my dad said, when he came to London to drop my things off, "Oh dear, don't you just feel outnumbered!?"
-
Me:
That's not nice.
-
Housemate 1:
*embarrassed* Haha, I know! The first time my dad's been racist!
-
Housemate 1,2 & 3:
Oh, my grandparents are racist and say the words "coloured" "negro" and "nigger" but that's because it was okay back in their day.
-
Me:
Okay.
-
Me:
*gets offended about something they are saying about black people*
-
Housemates 1 & 3:
But you're not really black though...you don't really act like a black person.
-
Me:
*rant about how there is no such thing as "acting white"*
-
Housemate 1:
Why is it THEY'RE allowed to be racist and we're not? We get in so much trouble if we're racist but it's okay for black people to be racist.
-
Me:
Fucking bullshit.
-
I could list more, but it's upsetting me thinking about how STUPID the people I live with sometimes come across as. I've encountered so many IGNORANT FUCKS throughout my life and probably have loads me to meet.
-
People need to learn when not to cross the fucking line. Why do they feel they can talk to me like this?
