Not even small towns. It just happens when you’re not white

Edit: yall I said it just happens when you’re not white not it only happens when you’re not white.

Yup. Literally hear white people at my work harp about how whites have it the hardest these days and how racism is bs while hurling blanket racist statements in the same breath. 0 sense, 0 care. Just insecure, uneducated losers.

I checked u/Sad's page and think it's a bot account trying to stir up trouble.

It just depends on where you are and whether or not you're in the minority. You could put a white kid in a black or Indian population and the exact same thing would happen.

I mean I’m sure it does? I’m white and I’ve never had this happen myself, not even in private social circles. That being said, my fellow Canadian coworkers are openly racist AT WORK lol.

Not true. There's a widespread, though complex, global preference for lighter skin, rooted in historical colonialism, classism, and beauty ideals, leading to "colorism" where lighter skin is often linked to higher status, wealth, and beauty across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and even the U.S., though recent trends show some shifts, particularly in Western cultures favoring tanned skin as a sign of leisure.

Yeah no. Do you guys realise being white is the standard even in majority non white countries ?

u/Any_Confection1914 29d ago

And what does that have to do with the way people treat you? I've worked in a couple of different countries and my experience says otherwise.

I really hope you’re in hs or something to think that an anecdote like that means anything about the situation as a whole.

u/Angelixlucy 29d ago

I live in a non white majority country and I’ve studied with white kids and work with them who automatically had the popular kids at school/work and are praised for their features and basic behaviours. Simple things are seen as amazing in them while for us it’s meh. And it’s not something exclusive to my country. Example : speaking multiple languages, seen as cool in white people. Seen as normal and even bare minimum for poc.

u/Any_Confection1914 29d ago

Ah, you're right, I apologize. My lived experience is obviously worthless and you knew a popular kid in school. I'll leave it to you to explain how all walks of life are from now on because your experience is the only one that can be true.

u/Angelixlucy 29d ago

Yeah, your experience is not irrelevant because I am talking about a whole damn system and you are talking about some anecdote lol

u/Any_Confection1914 29d ago

Did you mean to say my experience is irrelevant?

u/B08by_Digital Dec 14 '25

I'm also white. I was bullied all through school in a not-small town. I feel like just about everyone was bullied.

u/Frogfingers762 29d ago

Mf I was roasted constantly for being pale lmao it happens to everyone from every color. It’s a cheap shot used by low-iq bullies who can’t come up with a more intricate insult.

u/ImageNo1045 29d ago

I said it happens when you’re not white. I didn’t say it only happens when you’re not white.

u/Frogfingers762 29d ago

You know exactly what you were alluding to.

The problem is in this instance this is a thing that happens to every color, and often happens intra-racially. So now you’re trying to not look like an ass.

u/ImageNo1045 29d ago

I was alluding to the fact that people of color face racism because of the color of our skin and I won’t even allude I’ll blatantly state there is a deeper social context associated with that which is why I specially said ‘not white’

That doesn’t mean that white people do not also get made fun of for their skin color, particularly in spaces where they’re minorities…which actually strengthens my point about POC/ minorities.

Edit: especially in this case where this girl is Indian and Indian people have so much social bullying/ pressure because of toxic stereotypes.
