A friend went through the same thing. Maybe you should have just moved to the Isle of Man or something.

Which is notorious for disliking both countries :P

The only time I've ever experienced homophobia is when a Romanian gypsy woman (of all people) spat at me and the girl I was meeting as we were walking home from a nightclub in Cork city centre, just because we were walking down the street hand in hand.

Grew up in England but moved here when I was 19 and got called 'Irish bitch' a few times when I lived there, and when I moved here I got called 'English bitch' a few times:rolleyes:. Ya just can't win..........

There was the brick throwing incident which I've shared.

Three times it happened that I was walking on a sidewalk when a car stops feet away from me and the occupants of the car yell out: "You F'ing N*gger".

While standing with other Native females, the entire group was called a "bunch of squaws".

I've been called "Aunt Jemima", "a beautiful buxom black princess (shudders)", and "colored".

I've been told that I'm not a "real American" whatever that means.

Then there have been a whole assortment of statements made about my various body parts ranging from lips to behind.

Many, many instances of someone accidently brushing against my skin and then watching them wipe their body part as if my color rubbed off on them.

Hmm... what else....

Nip is short for "Nippon" which is the japanese word for "The land of the rising sun"..never really used as a derogatory word.

Jap on the otherhand was used extensively by American military personel to describe japanese troops and civilians and in context was generally meant derisively.

Look at the word "Paki" now..mega no-no to describe somebody of Pakistani origin..however,in the 1970's in England,most corner shops were owned by Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants and the shops themselves were called "Pakis"..it wasnt a big problem..its just times change..what was once deemed okay is now considered racist although its original intention might have only been descriptive.

Nip is a derogatory term used by Australians for Japanese and most Asians now

Called an Irish bastard/**** many, many times when working in a call centre. The usual Irish people are stupid stuff by a few English people. Nothing that even remotley bothered me. Family went through some hardcore sectarian stuff in Norn Iron though.

Oh, no need to apologize. No one here's fault. At least I hope no one here is at fault.

A remember being called a 'Fenian Bastard' by some other kid - I had no idea what a fenian was and asked my folks when I got home and they didn't give me a satisfactory answer, probably for fear of making me aware of 'the troubles' and sectarianism.

Unlike my parents I suspect that kid heard it from his.

Got abused for being irish one time. Can't really remember too much as I was too busy getting pissed. Not even sure it was abuse, might just have been asking for the time. bastards!

In a nightclub, a lad tried to start a fight with me because I was white. I was shocked when it happened and didn't know how to respond but laugh and turn away. The bouncers seemed to be watching him and he was thrown out a few seconds later.

One time at work one of my colleagues, a black man, was struggling to throw someone out so I jumped in to help him. We got the guy out, after which he started calling my teammate every racist name under the sun. Eventually the guy fúcked off so my teammate went back inside. The guy came back about 10 minutes later, walked up to some other random black man, and started hugging him, shaking his hand, and apologising profusely. The guy, who was about 6 inches taller and looked nothing like my mate, was utterly confused but too polite to say anything. My mate asked about it later and I told him what happened - we were both in hysterics laughing.

Yes i have - i wasnt allowed to use the scissors in school because the hand i use is black as im a black man!

No abuse for being Irish - mega abuse for being fat. People are bizarrely abusive about that. I say people, I mean men. Why are there no fat people anti-discrimination laws?!

Also, guys at uni wouldn't let me play football with them, but I reckon that was probably cause I was better than them.

I can't remember. There were a lot of people and drugs in the room.

And teabags.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure that there was drugs there - my memory is not too good. Not even too sure if there were women there either, but there was definitely teabags & when I finished, I definitely paid & left.

In fact, I have a feeling that I might have actually been in Bewleys.

I was turned down for a job in a warehouse cos im female, even though I was perfectly qualified and able for it. She told me straight out, then told me if a position came up in packing "where all the girls work" she'd ring me. I was young at the time and let it go, should've kicked up a fuss or sued her

American military during WW2 would have used the word Jap as a derogetory term for the Japanese. In the same way the Germans were the Hun or Gerry.

These names would have historically bad connotations.
