Yes, as a blonde haired blue eyed American, I've experienced racism

or more simply "sorry, we don't rent to foreigners/Americans et al".

Gee, I thought it just happened to me!
The question eventually arose, "Sind Sie Ami?"
I was playing basketball for the Ludwigshafen Y team. After the ref
asked me that question, a series of fouls was called on me until I was
out of the game.

John,

you and Steve need better education and you need to work harder, then
these things won't happen to you anymore. Ask Jay for the specifics.

As a half Indian British guy who doesn't speak German, I had no
problem at all renting an apartment in Germany!

Try being an airline pilot. No merits, all seniority.

Apparently you have never read about the early Irish. Signs like No
Irish or dogs allowed" were common place in many establishments.

expect special treatment and reparations. The self pity is getting very
annoying.
