I was following my parents to family function that I didn't know where it was at. We passed a cop. My mom was in her green new style bug, and I was in my black Integra (type R). The cop saw both of us go by, neither of us had a front plate on. He pulled me over and ticketed me. Not sure if that was because of age, or just coincidence....

I was looked over for a position cause they wanted to first hire minorities.
Weird thing is.. i thought i was a minority! I'm hispanic.. and a FEMALE!
They could have just said "LOOKING FOR BLACK PEOPLE".

Oh I have a lot of racist stories... 
In 6th grade I was made fun because I was the only Chinese in an all Cuban school, until I kicked this kid's ass that was bullying me and others around. I broke his nose and hit him so hard in the eye that his contact went up into his eyeball so he went to the hospital. From that point on, no one ever called me names again and I was considered cool since I beat up on the class bully.
In college, while driving from Miami to New Orleans, passing through AL, I was refused service once at a gas station for being Chinese. He said, "We don't service your kind here, gook." and took out his shotgun.
A few years ago, while living in Fort Lauderdale (biggest mistake of my life), I used to get pulled over numerous times by the racist cops up there for being Asian, harrassed for no reason and given bogus tickets. I've been asked, "Whats a chinaman doing up here in my town this time of night?" and "Why do all you yellow assholes drive rice-mobiles?" and "Shut the f**k up before I deport your ass back with the monkeys in China." I also got weird looks everytime I left the house to go anywhere in Fort Lauderdale, especially when I hung around my girl best friend who is Puerto Rican but looks white. Once in a mall, she was approached by some white guys asking her "Whats a fine white chick like you doing with a chink?" 8 months after I moved to that shithole called Fort Lauderdale, I had enough and moved back down to Miami. I hate Fort Launderdale.
Last year, I was randomly approached by a bunch of black kids in a mall, yelling "chin chink chin" to my face for no reason. Of all people, I would never think black people would be racist.
Just last weekend, I was attending mass with my wife and her mom. Sitting to me was this teenage girl, her little sister and their mom. During the entire mass the little girl kept staring at me and laughing. Then when it came time to join hands and recite the Our Father, the teenage girl refused to hold my hand. When I moved my hand to hold hers, she moved it away. I wondered why. Afterwards, the little girl was doing the slanted eye thing and they were laughing. Then I knew. Then their mother said something to them. I was thinking probably scolding them right? Not exactly. She said something to the effect... "Look he's Chinese. Chinese people are bad and dirty." Then all three of them bursted out laughing.
