    Be it racial, gender, religious, sexual orientation, country of origin, classist, hair color/style, etc. Have you ever experienced any kind of direct bigotry? I think I said before that for some reason, I get mistaken for Jewish (I think it's the glasses). Back in high school, someone called me a "Kike." The kicker is that they knew full well that I wasn't Jewish, but decided to be funny anyway.

    No offense, but this is a question that only a heterosexual white male would ask. To ask someone who: is a person of color....a woman....an overt practitioner of a religious minority....has an accent indicating that they are from another country....or an out-of-the-closet gay/bisexual person if they have ever experienced bigotry is almost like asking a random person if they've ever eaten at McDonald's. Of course. More than once. Probably more than twice.

    Ever experience bigotry of some kind? 35166. You know what's funny though? Coming up, I can honestly say I've never experienced any hardcore bigotry but luckily for me, I knew better and I knew it was just luck. Get older and become an adult and you'll see how the world really is.

    Not really, but there have been times when some idiot has made some wise remarks about Italians in my presence.

    Yep, Yep, and it most often comes from the sources you'd least expect it to. At the same time, not everything labeled as bigotry these days truly is.

    Its not worth dwelling on it, most times I take the remark from where it came from and usually that person has less intelligence than a flea.
