I've had women put their hands down my trousers or up my t-shirt on nights out. I've had a patients say foul things enough, that the midwives wanted to knock her head off. The difference is, I could laugh it off because if I wanted it to stop, it would. I have power over them physically, and societally.
*I was slim and good looking at one point in my life

I was honestly in shock,I know macho men will be laughing,but I honestly was lost for words,that was the once god knows how women cope with it constantly
So milked for money. But would they kill you with impunity like they might do to a black guy, rape you like a woman?Thanks! I'll take a look through it
Most privileged group in society = white male.
No. Totally false.
Bum felt = yes plenty of times by both men and women without any desire for them to do so.
Cheer up etc = Plenty of times yes.
Asked to resign due to a relationship = No but those were the rules in 2 companies i worked for.
Asked to change what youre wearing = How about a female colleague removing my tie or getting felt up at office events and in smoking areas and/or bars?
Pulled over by the police = Yes plenty of times and also stopped on the street, had police plant drugs on me + threaten to arrest me as i was white and they wanted a bribe. Also force me in handcuffs to go to my condo and pay them a bribe...taken to the ATM to withdraw money and give them....
When you refuse you are taken to a police station after 30mins being handcuffed in their car and then told you either pay or you go to jail for 1 month and no one will be notified apart from your embassy.
Probably more as well if i think about it.
Refused jobs as im white = Yes plenty of times. Also refused jobs as im not the right age or gender.
I cant get swimming trunks, shoes or other clothing in western sizes either...
Dont have kids and im not female so the other questions dont apply.
Amy further questions?
Heres some for you...
Ever received calls / sms with death threats unless you transfer funds to someone?
Ever been told by the police that death threats, theft and extortion arent police matters?
Ever been stopped on the street because you look "white" and a crime was committed by a " foreigner" somewhere...maybe.
Ever been threatened with kidnap and been surrounded by people who tell you the exact places you and your girlfriend have been over the past week with photos?
Ever been sat at a boarding gate and be approached by someone with no ID, no plane ticket to threaten you unless you go back through immigration? Then bring security to take your passport and walk back past immigration...
Whats this "white privilege" and how am i part of the most privileged group in society".
Because, you know thats what all white men are apparently...
I wouldn't laugh mate, it can be unnerving.

Someone who thinks they are a drug riddled criminal?
Happens to everyone at some point.
Why has no one called you a right wing victim or a snowflake yet lol
Every asian country is totally different. Its not like say UK/France/Spain etc etc where theres familiarity with one another...
In certain countries you wont get credit...a mortgage/cards/bank acct/loan etc
You cant buy a house in a lot of places.
Governments dont allow companies to hire more than 1 foreigner per 4 locals
Some Police will force bribes from you or jail...for nothing...they make up stories and plant drugs.
You may be a target for drink spiking
Lots of people will try and rip you off
Guys/girls will hate you because of your race
People will gossip and lie about you and/or your girlfriend
Etc etc depending on which country.
Stabbings...shootings...gangs dragging guys out of bars
Its all happened here...no white privilege.

Yes.
Guy i know was on holiday in cebu and got shot in the head while with his family.
People ive seen have been dragged by their ears up flights of stairs by gangs while they were having a drink minding their own business
There are fit ups by immigtation who lock people away without trial
People have been jumped walking across parks
Security at immigtation in some countries here will let the mafia into the boarding gates to trick you to walk back through immigtation...and/or security will help them...then youre kidnapped.
Loads.
Targeted for being white, or being perceived as rich? The institutions are corrupt, but the target isn't due to lack of melanin, it's to how much money they think they can get. I don't think they treat blacks, bangladeshis bad just for money- but I'd be interested to hear your take on how black people are viewed in Asia.

Shortlist of woe
Japan: A european ambassadors wife was arrested outside a jewelry store for "casing the joint"
Police approach you to check ID (gaijin card for aliens) for no reason....they say, a foreigner may have committed a crime nearby...if youre with someone and they need an excuse.
If you get arrested its 1 month no evidence and they inform your embassy after a few days. If you are lucky and a friend/relative manages to track you down you can only speak to them in japanese.
China: Whatever happens to you....good luck lol
You can get hit by a car and the driver will pay the cops a bribe and drive off.
Had things stolen in hotel rooms there...charged 20 times the real bill in a restaurant...hotel put me in a room with 35 degree heat with a broken aircon and refused to fix it....taxi drivers etc.
Vietnam: Well known for being mafia run...kidnappings are rife (not just foreigners though).
Corruption and bribery everywhere...you are being watched.
Singapore: Careful not to get on the wrong side of someone there...a lot of racism from the malays and the lower class chinese singaporeans.
Its everywhere

I’ll happily debate and chat with people , I disagree with @peteblue but we don’t seem to argue . I’ll totally accept people have different opinions and I think people attacking the police in London or smashing up property are worthy or condemnation .
However tweets from people who’ve had websites closed down because of content , SYL acolytes , using phrases like ‘police cuck ‘ Or talking about commies and when you look it’s just people marching is content i frankly find unpleasant . I don’t in anyway support coppers getting a crack in these circumstances but posting fascists or to be honest giving them clicks isn’t my bag.
Im a white middle aged male whose come out of life ok so I feel a bit out of place telling others to not protest ,it feels like if someone tells you to “pull yourself together “ after a bereavement it’s not up to me . Ultimately we can only live our own lives and I’m going to try not to tell anyone what to feel whether it’s a young black male or even I suppose an expat even if I feel it’s clear some comparisons Are frankly ridiculous .
