Re: have you ever experienced racism or discrimination?
Yes...for being jewish and for not being jewish..  
My maiden name is as jewish as they come without being hebrew, but I was raised catholic. Growing up in an Italian neighborhood was NOT fun. Even while I was making my first communion kids in my communion class would call me a dirty jew. But jews everywhere know that since my mother isn't jewish, I'm not either so I was basically rejected from both sides even within my own family.

i went to a summer camp in michigan for the arts and there were people there from all over the US and all over the world.
one boy i became friendly w/ was from a small town near the finger lakes region of NY and had never met a Jewish person before.
When he found out I was Jewish, he stopped being my friend.
OMG Thats terrible.

Not so much racism- but more ignorance. While traveling in Louisiana with Jewish teen tour, a grown woman asked to see my horns. She wasn't being mean- she honestly thought that all Jews had horns
I very politely explained where that concept came from.
OMG! This is unbelievable. Lots of kudos to you for politely responding!
