I didn't know that Ft. Lauderdale was that bad! DAMN. I could've seen AL, but not FTL.
Drove through Texarcana on the way to spring break, man what a backwards place. At the gas station, the backwards hick would not take my money for the soda I was purchasing. He then made the woo,woo,woo sound with his mouth (I am India-> Indian). Gave him the finger and just took the soda and left.

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.

I thought gook was universal for asians? Anyhow, it's not something I use anyway. That sucks mav, you really had it bad there a few times. I think asian people are cool. No matter what they're doing it seems like they know everything about it. Like if there was a Japanese guy and a white guy standing next to a TV or something, you would get the feeling that the Japanese guy knew everything about the specs of the TV and the white guy just wanted to watch some football.
I think as far as stereotypes go, you get some of the better ones. I mean besides the cameras, and the laundry and nail stereotypes. You know, the good ones like all asians know kung foo or some kick ass fighting style, they know everything about electronics, and whatever they work on is super scientific and advanced.

This car gets all kinds of crap:
I was driving home to visit the family (just up the road 30 minutes), and this cop was tailing me, and basically trying to get me to speed up (over the limit). I didn't budge. . . he pulls up alongside of me and as soon as he got a good look at me, began to leave me alone. If I were Asian (and/or younger), I know he'd have kept harassing me.
