Just wondering if any caucasians on here have ever been attacked/insulted for the colour of their skin. It's happened to me, but you obviously don't hear about that racism because institutions/the media prefer to ignore it. Anyone else?

I never have, racism should be kept friendly, too harsh if it's out of hate.

I've been called "potato picker" 'cos I'm Irish, but as far as being white goes, not personally, but my friend was called "blood clot" in brixton once

Yeah this one time someone at school came up to me and said, "Hey, honkey."
A few months later when I had a comeback, I said to him on MSN, "Yo, you can be a honkey but still be hung like a donkey."
That shut him up. -

Verbally, yes. A number of times in good ol' Birmingham. But I didn't really care; it's usually just groups of horny asian chavs.

Yes actually.
I was called a white ******* does that count?
What an insult... you white *******!
Well yes, thank you for pointing that out. I am white and am a ******* - I am glad you recognise this.
Seriously? -

I've been shouted at many times in the street for looking Asian even though I'm 100% Scottish. If that counts :P

Can't say I have. I've heard of it happening to other people several times, though (and I live in an areas which you wouldn't describe as having racial tension or severe lack of integration).

What's wrong with asians. Men of any race in big groups are usually violent. -

AHAHAHA... white people don't know what racism is, i grew up with it every day since i was a young child from the tolerant white people.
If you think you have had racist abuse you don't know what it is....
Wait till you have bricks thrown at your house, being physically attacked, called names, insulted at work.... the list goes on.
You are not victims. -

Being called "milkman" is hardly racist abuse, and also pretty retarded in a western dominant society. -
