I'm a black male, and black females have treated me worse. Men tend to avoid confrontation, considering the threat of possible violence and the fact I look "intimidating". Whites have treated me poorly also, but not in the same way blacks have. I think it has more to do with the nature of me being black than it does with the nature of black people, in general. Whites usually kill other whites, blacks usually kill other blacks, Muslims usually kill other Muslims ad infinitum. Being a nerdy, smart black kid also makes me... a target for most people to treat me poorly. Once you reach a certain intelligence level, race no longer matters.

I have no clue how to answer this.

I've met mostly Caucasians, so they're overrepresented in people who've hurt me, but I don't think any one race has consistently been worse than the others.

On the other hand, one race has been consistently better to me - Orientals. I've had some Oriental friends (mostly Chinese, but one Japanese) and I've never been bullied by an Oriental person. Particularly not one who immigrated to Canada.

As for gender, girls and boys have distinctly different styles of making me miserable, but it's hard to say which was worse to me.

The two who sexually abused me were one of each - a boy and a girl. Not much difference in what they did. The boy at least was nice sometimes, but he did more abuse. However, that's mostly because he was around longer - he stayed in our home two years longer than his sister.

In school, the girls generally faked friendship and set me up for humiliation, while the boys tripped me and called me names. Both hurt about equally from my perspective.

About the only situation where I've found I prefer one gender is as teachers. Male teachers are, on average, nicer to me than female teachers. Though I did have a couple nice female teachers, most of the really bad teachers I've had were women.

However, in high school I was treated like crap by all races and ethnicities. Being a black "genius" with ASD in a diverse high school as well as an "oreo", you're treated like crap by everyone. Everyone wants you to conform and they will hate you if you don't. I didn't conform so I was, therefore, hated with an extreme intensity. I had no friends in high school until I was a senior. I was hated by everyone in the school, including some of the faculty. Especially my band teachers. It kind of sucks, but sometimes teachers will bully students along with the rest of the students. I got over it of course, but it was a traumatic experience. Plus, at the time, I was essentially neglected by my family so it caused me all kinds of problems. I would spend my weekends watching movies on abc and attempting to learn about computers and economics. It was like being in a mental prison, almost. When you can't socialize with people you become something of a recluse and you start to come up with s**t in your spare time. I started doing metaphysics, philosophy, and I also began writing poetry. When you have no friends, making a society which is more accepting of those with "differences" has a value. In high school, I never knew why I wasn't accepted, I didn't know what was wrong with me but I soon realized I was autistic upon getting to college. I also realize that my best "friend" was a super-insecure guy who was trying to control my life. I had a lot of toxic people in my life and because I'm so "nice", I struggled to get them out of my life. Now I'm with a Christian group who is attempting to convert me to their cult, and it's working actually. Being put through so much pain in my life has allowed me to feel great empathy for others who also experience lots of hardship. It makes me slow to punish them because I know how it feels. But sometimes I should be angry and mean towards them. I walk around my college campus thinking I'm the only person who is alive. I wish I could see how I look towards others. I wish I could see how I look so I could get an idea of what it is like to interact with me, what I'm doing wrong.

Most of the teachers who treated me poorly were men. So I know how you feel.

The ones who've bullied me the most have been Caucasian men, though I've also run into a few mean white girls too. The only problems I've had with African-American men have been with members of cults, such as the Nation of Gods and Earths, and the Black Hebrew Israelites. But they are at least generally racist anyway. I've never really met all that many Asians, aside from this one second cousin of mine, who's half ethnic Japanese. And in third grade, I was friends with an Anglo-Metis, who self identified with his Native American side.

Caucasian females, but that may have a lot to do with being one myself. People who are my own age tend to treat me the worst, too.

I don't think race really has anything to do with it, in general for me, every person i went to school with gave me a hard time, and they were all of different races (Australia is multicultural)

I was among my own kind growing up so most of the abuse came from them. Not because they were worse as a group but because they were the group I associated with.

A bias against my own kind was picked up.
It is subtle but has been commented on by more than a couple of white people.

My children are not considered white, odd attitude considering the genetics involved. Tannin levels are almost identical. Must be the eyes.

I'm a white female and for me it was African American males oddly enough. I live in perdominatley black are in the south. I've been bullied, made fun of for being pale, all of that, even got hit with a lunchbox full of rocks. I'm sure if I lived in a mostly white area it would be them who bullied me the most. I've only ever been bullied by 2 girls oddly enough.

This is definitely one tied into demographics

I see where the OP is coming from. I'd say other Caucasian males have treated me the worst, followed by Americanized Asian females.

The ones who have treated me the best are black females, Asian males, black males, non-American-born Asian females, Hispanic males/females, and white females in that order.

My very best treatment has come from LGBT females. And my ultraconservative parents wonder why I'm such a strong supporter of equal marriage rights. :roll:

Interesting question. Thinking about my school years, I suppose a gang of girls from a local council estate treated me badly (verbally) whenever they saw me. Fortunately I was never physically abused. Come to think of it, I only received bad treatment from girls in school, the lads were fine.
I haven't noticed any bad treatment for several years now, except from occasional insults from drunks in dublin. overall adults seem nice.

Native american females, of course. They're so hot, why are none in Europe? :evil:

why would girls mistreat you, if you're a guy? I thought it was the most common for aspies to be mistreated by their own gender and get along better with the other one.

With the exception of Asians, this has been my experience: women always treat me better. As for the aspie girls I know, men always treat them better, and most of their problems are caused by women. Why do you suppose it's the opposite for you?

I don't know, I'm as confused over it now as I was then. Seems the guys were just more tolerant of my anxiety and eccentricities than the girls in my area. I rarely ever attempted to speak to girls in my area though*, maybe that had something to do with it? :scratch:

*I was somewhat dismissive of any contact with those girls that weren't nice, although this might have made matters worse. Social dynamics still confuse the hell out of me.
