Because you should have already knew the answer to your own question assuming you were born and raised in this country.

Yes.  Also making me google Fenotype made me feel marginalized

The way the question is asked, looks like you have doubts that racism exists in the US.

Was this reply directed towards me? I think you meant it for the OP. I on the other hand have no doubts no illusions that racism does exist. The thing about racism is it's not something you are born with, it's  a taught behavior passed down via family and or friends even society.

No, my bad. It was for the OP.

Yes, I asked so. And so far I've just gotten one yes and one no.

Let me ask YOU! Have you ever experienced racism  and oppression?

You cannot ask the researcher. 😁

And it depends on what you consider racism and oppression. 

What are your definitions of both? 

Those two words stand alone their meanings are clear,  no need to define them. I'll go out on a limb here and assume that you are a young person. Similarity I'm not a young person so our definitions might not be the same. I was born in a era way before the civil rights movement of the 60s. So pardon me if I bring boo coo knowledge to the table lol! Might be better said if I would have said experiences!

C'mon, folks -- let's lighten up on the OP.  Try to avoid reading anything extra into the query.  All honest replies will surely be valued.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I amended knowledge to experiences. This forum is not designed for a topic so sensitive and besides VJ is G rated. So I'll  respectfully request that you consult Mr. Webster. I'm  positive you'll  agree with Mr. Webster.

Indeed! All honest replies are very valued.

The misreading of the query, while startling, was nevertheless interesting, to say the least.

By Racism I am going to assume you mean the classic liberal version, in which no other race except whites can be racist ?

For the sake of this thread, I'd describe it as any sort of agression, marginalization or mistreatment based solely on ethnicity or fenotype.
