I am NOT
SO-CALLED "POOR WHITE TRASH" (PWT) . I am white, but I'm not poor, & I
am definitely NOT trash, regardless of my income, or skin color, or anything else. Regardless of anybody's
income, race, or skin color, or anything else...NOBODY is trash. Yet, there are minority citizens who periodically pull
the reverse RACE CARD against whites.
The counter-punch to being called the N Word , or some other word about Asians or Latinos, et al; is to call a white person PWT or "cracker" , and it used to be "honky", among other things. But i NEVER use the N word, nor any other such words about blacks or towards any other skin color, race, or nationality.
And actually my experiences being mistreated by minorities as PWT very infrequently been by black people. I grew up amongst black people in a middle class neighborhood and had good relations with most of them, so I get along with them by and large. And that was in the midwest.
Actually it is minorities & Asians who are more likely to stereotype some whites as "trash" or "redneck" or rural ignorant hillbilly, etc. And yet I went to college, twice. And I went to graduate school, twice, actually thrice now that I think about it, but only completed one of the graduate programs, but that's still worth something isn't it.
And so I am "educated" and I can read, and do read, and was raised to be "kind" towards all people of all races, nationalities, and skin colors. My parents even sent me to the public school thru 4th grade for the specific intention of trying to keep me in an "integrated" setting.
Unfortunately, I actually got picked on by a few minorities in this setting, and finally they transferred me over to the mostly white Christian school only a few blocks away.
Nonetheless, it was the first few years of public school that left me more likely to feel comfortable amongst minorities than my siblings (all of whom for some reason my parents put in the Christians schools right away. They never explained why).
But I travel a lot in different areas, mostly around southern California, but also all around the USA. It is in southern Cal, however, where minorites are the most empowered and most likely to have some of that "attitude" to the point where they will show their hate toward you, if you are alone.
Let's face it, there are minorities that do actually hate white people, but go thru most of their lives never expressing it. However, since I am often alone, I am more vulnerable to public expressions of hate against me because they think they can get away with it.
For example, today, I was driving thru Irvine, which is mostly white & Asian; maybe more Asian now. And Asians of course pride themselves on being highly educated. Anyways, I'm waiting to turn at a stop sign where an Asian kid, maybe late teens, is crossing on his bike.
I casually watch him cross the road, not thinking anything in particular at all about him as a person, other than that a person is crossing the road, and so I am waiting, patiently, as I do 100's of times every day, as I am driving. But for some reason this kid thinks I am staring at him, or trying to stare him down, or whatever. I don't know why he thought so.
But he starts speaking AT ME, saying, "Ooh I'm scared..." ; and I'm actually smiling, trying to look like a mild-manner white citizen just driving down the road, which I am, but he thinks I am trying to act like a tough white guy, maybe a tough redneck is the stereotype he has in mind.
What can I do? What can I say? I can't get out and explain to him that I wasn't staring at him, nor angry, nor trying to scare or intimidate him; nor could I tell him I went to school too. I went to high school and college and graduate school . I've read a lot of books too. He's made his mind up about me, negatively, in a matter of seconds. What can I say? It actually makes me sad.
My doctor, by the way, is Asian, and most of her patients are Asian. She speaks Chinese and English. I've been going to her for many years. She usually treats me pretty nice, which is why I stayed with her. She has a male partner, also Asian.
One time I went there and she was out so I had to see him, and he treated me really poorly, so much so that I will never accept being seen by him again, even if she's out. He treated me with the negative stereotype some Asians have towards whites. Even if you're intelligent, educated, civil, nice etc, if they begin with the negative assumption that you are "Trash" it's too late to make amends. IT's really horrible.
Anyways, I recently noticed a sign by the doctor's receptionist window which said , "We will refuse any persons who are aggressive." Fair enough, I suppose. But it doesn't set a very nice tone. And I noticed it was only written in English. So I'm wondering if this is aimed at somebody in particular ?
I've never been angry, nor aggressive. But if they begin with the assumption that this is an "angry white person" then do you have to prove otherwise by doing a song and dance every time you come in, even when you're sick?
I don't usually come to the doctor when I am at the top of my game, but when I've been dealing with some sort of ailment, injury etc. and it's the "last straw" ...so I don't usually come in singing "Happy Days" but I am always normally civil and respectful and expect the same. Have they applied a negative "potential" against me? It's not fair.
AND THERE'S MORE examples and instances...and THEREFORE, I have started this blog to document such mistreatment to remind people that white people are discriminated against as well, and it is hurtful; and to encourage my white brothers & sisters NOT to give in to anger or "reverse hate" , but as Jesus said, "Turn the Other Cheek", and try to LOVE nonetheless. Or start a blog or journal about it...find a way to express yourself so you don't get pent up with anger.
And there are a LOT of minorities who are NOT RACIST and are not angry or hateful towards us as whites, so be thankful for their positive attitude and give some of it back to them. Encourage the positive. Return the love when it is given. But don't return hate when it is given. Return hate with love. & Return love with even more love.
It's a shame that whites can't come together to encourage one another when all other race groups can do so. But if whites gather together to try to help just other whites we are called racist or KKK etc. It's not fair. Whites helping whites doesn't mean whites are against others.
But some whites have experiences only other whites can understand. Maybe especially in southern California where "minorities" are actually the majority, and they have subtle ways of taking out their anger against us as minorities when we are most vulnerable.
ANYWAYS, this blog will periodically address issues of so-called "reverse racism" and the harm it does to white people.
