OP, I’m really sorry if you are having a hard time but I disagree with the sentiment. I would think my kids have experienced racism from the outset. Starting with refusal to enrol in daycare (our form of nursery/preschool and here the majority are privately run even though publicly funded), due to the fact we were white. The official line was they were fully booked but funnily spots opened up for everyone else’s free us who were the right ‘colour’. Same story across our area so my kids had to start off out of area.
Then moving on to school where they were teased due to being white and the worst came from kids telling them what their parents said about them, namely they were stupid (because, white) and they couldn’t play with them because it would make them stupid too. Wish they were not in the kids class as they would make the class slow etc, that they ate weird food etc. Demographic of school was such that they would be the only white kid in the class with maybe another white child in the grade. We thought it best that kids go to neighbourhood school and it would be fine as we don’t view things in terms of colour and kids would be okay. Nope. However by end of primary good news is they had friends that realised their parents were full of shit.
If we need police we no longer get any joy from our local station as we are not the right demographic (they ended up stocking the local police station with staff who spoke the same language spoken by everyone else here). Last two reports we made, not against anyone here but crime we were witnesses to, seem to have disappeared with the note we chose not to bother with a report. There was also a period of break-ins and home invasions in our neighbour. Police visited every house in our street for intel and safety talk, that is every house except ours.
Neighbours don’t talk to us and if we even glance in their direction say not English, no English’ yet I have heard many speak it. Sure, we are not in fear of being shot in the street but also if we ever needed help in event of crime, accident etc people would turn and walk the other way.
I’ve been refused brochures and visit of housing for sale in our area each time with the agent pretending they don’t speak English. No brochures in English anyway but they have picture and I can always get someone at work to translate.
In our experience there can be racism against whites.
For those wondering why we don’t move. We purchased before the demographic of our area changed and to move to another where we won’t experience this behaviour from others would probably add an hour in travel time each day to our workplaces, kids uni’s, it’s a great location handy to main arteries, good amenities etc. Also, we don’t want racists to chase us out.
