ETA: I can't generalize that these people are being discriminatory. I think most of them are horny fucktards!

Well, I HOPE the librarian wasn't :rofl: but the others, maybe so. I'm the USC and I couldn't be any more anglo-looking if I tried, and I get some of that stuff too :)

I think that it's true that those who speak English well probably have less trouble. Although once an accent is detected people do get curious, I've noticed.

:lol: the librarian must be bi... I should have known! :lol:

not often, but if they do are discriminatory, they get a can of whoopedro.. mainly is the 'i wanna speak with someone who speaks english' kind of comment, which I don't take offense, I rather laugh at.. damn ignorant rednecks who can't understand proper english..

but as a foreigner i've noticed this.. people will mess with you if you can't defend yourself... people mess with illegals because they don't speak english and they know they won't call their manager or the cops or whatever.. but if they see you can raise hell, like moi, they'll leave you alone

True.

If anything - it's probably religion. It's not prejudice - just tactless response & some smart-### comment about our religion.

Does it matter? No.

Not 'mistreated' but 'treated differently'.

I was in a restaurant and noticed that the service given to us was slower and not quite as polite as to the surrounding tables. Then, when I paid the bill and left a decent tip, the waiter looked genuinely shocked. I am sure that, having heard my accent, he'd assumed I wouldn't know how to tip and had therefore not paid as much attention to my table. ;)

Now, mistreatment in other countries? Certainly.

in some parts seeing a white person is like spotting elvis.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
