That's awful, terrible you had to experience that in your childhood.

Would you say this kind of experience means that in general racism is an even field when it comes to all colours of skin/ethnicities or would you accept that in society people with white skin have it much easier when it comes to racism. And by racism I'm not just talking about overt racism (name calling in the street etc).

Again, racism doesn't mean that only one select group of people experience any one thing. It's discussing it at a societal level. White straight males are not a repressed minority. If by me saying that it offends you and makes you think I've said you're immune from hardship then that's a mindset you need to change, no one else, as the fact I stated in no way states that you have had an "easy" life.
