So have you ever been called a serial killer or rapist lookalike because of your look god forbid actions.Like someone misunderstanding your sense of humor or way of dressing.Basically misinterpreting your personality because of appearance or manner.Things like
geek------> glasses
dark sense of humor----->freak, psycho
etc. etc.
Oh and Happy New Year!
Well I am half Italian, and I'm susceptible to getting a tan even if I stay in doors, I also have naturally olive or darker skin, I have brown hair and brown eyes, a deep voice, an innate ability for a lot school work, a lot of controversial views on America, I have a weird demeanor and I grow facial hair exceptionally fast even though I'm only thirteen. All this put together has often resulted in people asking me if I come from the middle east, If I have lived in or ever visited Iraq, If I am actually a year 9 (I'm year 7) and definitely the worst of all... I have actually been called a terrorist, it was spread as a school wide rumor and I was frequently ostracized for it. I actually had people avoid talking to me and/or go away from me because that thought that I was either an Iraqi, a terrorist or both. The stupid thing was it had actually gone on for a year to half a year, this is really how people react to someone with a slightly different skin color. You people don't want to know what happened when these people encountered their first dark skin colored person. I don't know if this counts on your thread but yea, that is probably the worst that has happened to be so far as in misjudging someone due to their skin color/demeanor.
EDIT: Okay I will admit that I sometimes do look like a terrorist kind of guy, except it's not like I run around placing bomb threats on people....except for that one time I placed a bomb threat on some people.
