I am half white half Hispanic. But I look too white for Hispanics to accept me.

I have been on the receiving end of systemic racism against whites my entire life. Growing up half white in a city, in mostly Hispanic and black public schools. i tried to say one day in school that being the only person considered white in a class of 35 kids meant i was the minority. i got detention for that. "Whites can never be the minority; i was just being an asshole and trying to start trouble" said the administration. Getting jumped and beaten up for being white. Ask why getting targeted for being white isn't a hate crime i was told "racism is a white construct- you cant be racist against whites". Sorry but being told racism against whites isn't real.... that's racist.

When I applied to high schools, and later to colleges, I was rejected with placement exam scores in the top 95%. i had black and Hispanic classmates get scores around 70-80% and they were accepted. They said this is to prevent racism and segregation, but it doesn't compute. I thought the idea was to treat everyone equally? but grading us on different standards.... that's anything but equal.

I just bought a house last year. While i was going through the process my city announced a big program to help families buy their first home... if you are a minority. so if you're a minority, here's up to 10k to help buy your house. Oh you're white? you can buy it on your own, you don't need the city and state's help.

The fact that a black person can walk outside and say out loud that they have been prejudiced against is a black privilege. Cause i cant go outside and say this stuff. if I do i'm labeled a bigot and a racist.
