The Quality of One's Life is Determined by Their Genetics

I experience discrimination on a daily basis and it's utterly maddening. So much so, that I'm in a constant state of butthurt. Women flee from my presence, rarely does anyone sit next to me on the bus or train, children are afraid of me, etc. Why? Because I'm what appears to be an "Urban Youth." So, this morning I got to thinking about how other people get discriminated against just for their appearance, and stumbled upon the article the below link leads to, according to which people are discriminated against based on body weight, level of attraction, gender, and even height. How do you feel about this? How do you feel knowing that the quality of your life was predetermined by your genetics?

Article.

So you dress similar to a group of people that legitimately scare folks, and complain when you are judged based on that appearance? Guess what, most crimes are committed by "urban youths"...that's why people are weary of other people that look like that. If you don't want to be grouped into that and judged accordingly, don't dress like that. Or do so, but being butt hurt over it is silly.

You know the inverse also holds true...I personally want to be taken in a professional manner.  So how do I dress?  Professional.  Works wonders.

I do not dress like a gangster. I wear slim fitted jeans, addidas sneakers, and plain t-shirts. Before you say something stupid like I should dress in a suit, consider the fact that I work a blue collar job. My jeans are so slim, they stay on my waist even without a belt, though I still wear belts. Furthermore, I've worn formal attrire and have gotten the same reactions. People don't classify certain Black malea as "Urban Youths" solely because of how they dress, but also because of their natural appearance.

maybe you're like the pretty girl that no one has the chops to ask to prom

and no, i don't think the quality of my life has been solely driven by my genetics; it's your attitude and outlook on life that guides life as well. if you always think that everyone is judging you in a negative way, then you're jus gonna fall into a self-fulfilling prophecy

You said urban youth...that sounds more hipster.

*edit*

Regardless, I know lots of professional black males who aren't viewed the same as yourself...of course they dress (and carry) themselves professionally.  That doesn't mean suit and ties either, in case you are wondering.

You could adjust your attire and body language as to not look like you're going to rape people as you mentioned in that other thread.

Or is he actually scaring people? or he just thinks he is? or why does he even care?

have you tried glasses... lamprey263

I have prescription glasses. Picture.

Perhaps you're being discriminated against on the basis of the color of your skin?

Most people find bright blue off-putting.  :|

I get these reactions from people of all races, including my fellow Blacks. I've even had people call me "the Devil" as I've walked by them (e.g. a Black Caribbean woman and a Latino Man ["Diablo!"]).

I don't believe this story whatsoever.

But if it's true, maybe they called you that because they know about Rapeland.
