I've been the victim of prejudice.
I'm Jewish. Only a quarter Jewish by genetics, but proud and practicing all the same. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), I'm also more than a bit Celtic, which means I'm pale, ginger and have a general outward appearance which has led me to the nickname "La Roux", after the popular synthpop warbler.

Where I live is a healthy mix of south Asians, eastern Europeans and thanks to the local university's foreign student progamme, scores of student-age Chinese, so looking like I do, I seem to be prime target material for every BNP campaigner, NF wannabe and would-be mini Hitler in a ten mile radius. I've had more twats sidle up to me in pubs and start talking to me about the "bloody foreigners" than I care to remember, and actually had some BNP leaflet monkey go into a meltdown about how this was "my country" when I told him to hop it (if you're so into that bollocks mate, I'm your black-haired self's racial superior, so do what I tell you and fuck off).

Anyway, as a result of this, I've heard every behind-the-hand "those Jews" comment going. My personal favourite was a friend of my housemate who, upon seeing my Menorah and that I was with a friend who was also Jewish, told my housemate that he ought to watch us because "we stick together". In front of me. And gave me the evil eye as he walked past me to leave.

The best bit was finding out later that he was angry because I didn't look like a Jew and hadn't told him before he started speaking to me. Maybe we should all wear gold stars?

Armbands
I live in the london boroough of havering and as such there are plenty of ignorant, union jack waving white imbeciles to go around.

It really fucking annoys me that because we share skin colour they think i subscribe to their BNP views. I've stopped a minicab and got out once before after the driver let rip into "niggers this, and niggers that"

Abhorrent.

Fail!
I always ask them why they think the niggers (or whomever) are here in the first place. Then they get a history and economics lesson.
Tagged onto how, if the current crop of white youth weren't such lazy workshy little bastards (personal experience), immigration wouldn't seem so attractive if there weren't any jobs.

Although I am not Jewish, by genes I am
if that makes sense. My fathers side of the family were Jewish but his granparents converted to Christianity and therefore I'm not as my father didn't grow up in the faith and my mother isn't Jewish.
I did however have a Jewish surname.

I have always been shocked by the massive amount of low level anti semitism out there. I don't consider myself Jewish but I still don't like to hear it.

All Jews are rich.
Apparently. Someone I was at university told me that. He also told me he could spot someone who had Jewish ancestry.

I had him convinced I was Jewish with an hour (well...my great grandparents were...getting married in the Great Synagogue in Bethnal Green kind of clinced it).

I then asked him where MY share of the money was...
