    I don't seem to recall you answering how being pulled over by a cop results in "disadvantage".

    Experiencing racism is not necessarily to be disadvantaged.

    Of course it's a disadvantage to experience police intimidation because of your race. It's easy for you to say it isn't because it hasn't happened to you.

    How did they intimidate you?

    Police there are not like police here. For one they all carry guns on holsters. That in itself is enough to intimidate. For another, they are more asshole-ish than here.

    A specific example: I'm 16 years old. It's the middle of the afternoon. I'm walking down the street listening to a walkman. Officer Racist pulls up in his car behind me and turns on the siren, scaring the shit out of me. I stop. He turns off the siren and gets out of his car and walks towards me until he's close enough to be crowding my personal space. I take a step back, he takes a step forward. I stop. He asks me if I have I.D. I say 'no'. He frowns. He asks me whose walkman that is. I say mine. He frowns again. He says 'do you have a receipt on you?' like I carry around receipts for things I buy. I say 'no'. He shakes his head like I've done something wrong. he says 'how do I know it's yours then?'. I just shrug. Then he asks me why I don't carry I.D., like it's the law to carry ID or something. Then he looks at my shoes which are new and asks me where I got them, do I have a receipt, etc.. And so on for five minutes where I get interrogated. People are driving by seeing me getting questioned by a cop. It's embarrassing. Finally he says 'well I guess you're free to go.'

    I'm not saying that's on a level of planting drugs on me or anything. But it's intimidation, and what's more it's completely illegal to just stop someone and harass them like that. He never tells me why he's stopped me or what the fuck his problem is. And what can I do about it? Not a fucking thing because I can't prove he did anything wrong. All he has to do is say I 'looked suspicious' and because he didn't rough me up or point his gun at me he won't be in trouble.

    After that happens to you six or seven times it gets a bit old. They weren't all as obnoxious as this guy but still, it's enough.

    One of the reasons I left was to get away from that atmosphere. So whatever opportunities I had were diminished by the fact that the place left a bad taste in my mouth. I could be offered a fabulous job there and think 'eeh, no thanks'.

    I recently left Kidderminster because it's a shithole. I could be offered a £100k a year job there and I'd say fuck off. So I'm "disadvantaged" through no fault of my own. Who do I blame? I can't blame white people since I'm white.

    And so your point is you're not disadvantaged by colour, you just don't like the place for other reasons.
