If this hasn't happened to you then you have benefited from having a white skin.
Now extend that to other situations and you should get the point.
Can you explain the earlier mentions of schools and churches still practicing racist discrimination then, those are institutions, schools would be a pretty important institution.

No, but not every person sees an arabic person and assumes terrorist.However, the major terror threat we face is from islamic terrorism, many arabs are muslim, people see them and think, okay.Right? no but just something you can not change? yes.
Yes, the persians in one of my class do smell funny, sorry but they do.That is not racist, I actually have met these people and they do smell weird.There is a running joke about how people from that part of the world smell, different cultures, hygiene habits, etc but no all day, so it is a stereotype and they happened to fit it, all I was saying.
What schools and churches are practicing discrimination? Some may but it's not lega and certainly not the policy of the government at federal or state/local level to discriminate, thus institutional racism towards non whites is mostly eradicated.However, it does exist towards white due to affirmative action and other policies that give "minorities" a leg up in many areas.
I am just confused by your failure to see it.I am not denying racism existed and still does on some levels but it's not as it is made out to be by the race baiters and power elites who use race to divide and conquer.
