It has been really difficult to live in a state that is notorious for gangs, especially gangs that don’t resemble me. It is even more difficult when it comes time to apply for a job and I am faced with hiring committees that often are dominated by one gang, or another. It is even worse when it is a gang that seems to have money and power in this state. I was denied a summer job today after being interviewed by a team of all Latino managerial staff members. I have never been one to say I felt uncomfortable being the only white person, and only female, in an interview session, but I feel like I need to say it now. It made me uncomfortable. I could see them exchange looks to one another, while on the virtual camera, as if to insinuate that I didn’t fit in with their clique. I had the qualifications as a first responder for this job position, and have been previously employed by that employer. I even made a rescue that was noted in a previous year. I hate to say that, because it sounds like bragging, but it is part of my job experience.
I know someone is going to comment to the effect of, “why can’t you just apply in another California city where the hiring committee looks more like you?” My answer: “you want me to go apply in the hills and hope the skins take pity on me?” My blood type is NOT rh+. Why does that matter? Because California is full of blood gangs. There. I said it. I can’t just go sit at a different lunch table with all the other white people, as a metaphor for this instance. I’m not one of them, and it has been like this my whole life. So who can I sit with? I hate to make employment sound like a prison yard from a TV show here, but in some ways it is.
I used to think it was just the way my peers behaved in high school, but I soon realized girls on my volleyball team would never speak to me because it less about “people who went to their church”, and more about people who were part of their blood gang. Their church was a cover for a white blood gang where everyone was rh+. I was more than welcome to play tennis, even though many of my teammates didn’t look like me. Why? Because they weren’t part of some huge blood gang that was pretending to be a clique formed around a church group. Where are they now? Who knows. Maybe they joined that “church”, or maybe they moved out of California and had families of their own. Well, why doesn’t my older sister have these problems, then? She isn’t my biological sister. Apparently, she’s just a distant cousin that was raised with me, but I’m not really supposed to discuss it. There are a lot of issues like that with family, and how people are related, or not related.
Long story short, I feel like I need to move to another state. So where to? Alabama? Texas? North Carolina? I’m a registered democrat who gives blood every eight weeks to save the lives of newborns at the children’s hospital in this area. Most of the time, the babies saved by my blood are Latino/Latina. Oh, and the child I rescued in 2021, was African American. It doesn’t matter. As soon as groups (god forbid I say gangs) see my face, all they care about is the fact that I don’t look like everyone around here. Suddenly, I’m the enemy and I didn’t even do anything wrong. I’ve spent my whole life in California, for the most part. I have over 600 relatives in the South. You think they want to meet me? You think they’d like me? No, probably not. So where the hell am I supposed to go?!?
Every time I read you its just this weird shit bro.
You give paranoid schizophrenic vibes fr no cap.
get that checked out homie
You sound like felon with the language you use. Maybe you should get that checked out. You also sound uneducated. I doubt you earned a degree in psychology. You would need to pass a test in English before reaching that point.
I can’t fix her.
Jesus. Take my upvote.
Ah, one of those, everyone is broken but you types? How smug. Why don’t you have a mental health evaluation. Be sure to tell them that you think you’re above everyone else.
Also, I doubt this guy that commented before me even subscribed to this subreddit, or even frequents it. He didn’t just stumble upon my post. Comments like that would have him banned long before now. I’m just being stalked by the sheriff’s department, in my local town because they hire men who used to plan on shooting their exes and getting away with it years ago. Small town hicks grow up, realize they aren’t as white as the girl they dated, they become angry and bitter, they earn a badge, and suddenly they take it out on their exes and all of the female population in our small town/area.
Honey, I’m more broken than Humpty-dumpty post gravity, nuttier that squirrel shit after Walnut Fest, and only better than I was yesterday and still don’t deserve better than you on haldol on my best day of my best self.
I can’t fix you because I am not medically qualified nor mentally sound enough to navigate your shitstorm without sinking into your sea of madness.
I’d tell you that you should be the one to have a mental health evaluation, but I’m sure your last 5150 was recent enough to not be over.
You probably are benefitting from gang ties that allowed you to have an income. Of course you’d call anyone crazy for pointing out gangs and nepotism in the workplace.
You sound like you’ve had a 5150. I’m sorry that happened to you. You don’t need to take it out on me.
As for me, I’m not a threat to myself and/or others. I haven’t made any threats to anyone. You should read a law book. Around here, men use the 5150 hold to have their ex girlfriends from high school strip searched in front of female and male staff members. I think local law enforcement should all be fired and replaced. They are the 5150. My ex boyfriend used to talk about how he wanted to become a sheriff so he could shoot his exes. He tried to cover that up by later saying it was about paintball. He now works for their department.
So you post a meme of a special snowflake whose nepotistic ties led to his fame and fortune, in an attempt to prove me wrong. No, I’m not crazy for thinking people like this don’t have the talent and qualifications for the jobs they have been handed. I guess that’s why some TV shows are just inane time slot fillers that no one watches.
So where the hell am I supposed to go?!?
Detox clinic?
Wow.

Tired of Latin people and you are thinking about moving to Texas? Ha ha.
I’m not tired of Latin people. I’m tired of gangs and their discrimination. Did you not read my whole post. Who has received most of my blood donations? Most likely Latinos/Latinas.
From your post history and this post too, it really does sound to me like you have some form of paranoia. It might help you if you were able to see a psychiatrist and maybe go over the stories you’ve shared here. There may be a treatment that can really help you and make a positive impact on your life.
I know some people are really apprehensive about being checked for a mental illness or taking medication or treatments for one, but I can personally attest that it can really help you live a more fulfilling life.
So you dig through my account history to judge me and you think I need drugs that will make me cease to verbally express my views online? Your first reaction is to deny everything I said as being true without even investigating it? I hope you have the chance to experience discrimination and then I will be sure to drop a comment on your posts to tell you that it’s all in your head. I’m sure the holocaust, civil rights movement, and women’s suffrage all had events that were in people’s heads. Discrimination against those groups today probably just leads to you taking the victims that they need psychiatric drugs so they’ll stop talking about it, huh? Ugh, just stop bothering readers like you with problems, huh? You probably just came here for uplifting news and to browse aww. Sorry to tell you this, but gangs do exist. Nepotism is real. Discrimination happens. It sounds like you’re some privileged person who has never experienced any abuse by other people.
I have two relatives that were murdered in the 90’s and it was never reported. They just buried my relatives’ bodies on a rural piece of farmland. Instead of bringing out cadaver dogs to try and prove I’m crazy, I have been told not to talk about it, and threatened to be labeled as crazy for reporting it. Do you know how easy it would be for those people to prove me wrong if there weren’t bodies buried in that location? They could bring out cadaver dogs, have them search the area, and then publicly humiliate me over a lack of evidence, if my claims were false. They won’t even bring out the cadaver dogs. I have had death threats. I’ve been told to shut up. I’ve had gangs try to make me leave my home state. Those are the type of actions that are taken when groups of people want to cover up a crime they committed, or aided in committing. That isn’t how you try to expose a crazy person.
You think I’m crazy and gangs aren’t real? Find a way to bring some cadaver dogs over here, and I’ll prove you wrong. You might need some meds after what you see.
Appalachia
Thank you. That’s where my grandfather was born and raised. I think that might be a good option for me.
That’s a whole lot of words to say “I’m a huge racist and wish I lived in a white ethnostate”.
Edit: Oh wow, you’re a mod.
Hey, @orphiebaby@lemmy.world, are you aware that this White Supremacist is a mod of your community? Take a look at her comment history, she’s been going on and on today about how refugees and asylum seekers are all criminals and that she’s afraid that they’ll move near her…
Sounds like the common experience of any non-white American, honestly. I hope you find resolution!
I feel really bad for the rh+ white girls, now that I’m older. I even feel sorry for the girls who bullied me on the volleyball team. Once that church was done with them, they probably pawned them off onto their “church friends” from Africa, and tried to sell it as some type of “humanitarian work”. I bet those girls have some gang ties they never imagined having. Those family connections probably don’t lead to any job connections like the rh+ gangs have here.
Oh, and if I’m being downvoted because viewers think my post is about race, be informed that it isn’t. If I moved to a place like Germany, I would face great amounts of discrimination, there, as well. They would discover my blood type, realize it is different than everyone else in that country, despite the fact that I’m white, and they would not want me to be there.

Yea this is what leftist stuff was about. This is the end game what u experienced
If I were racist, I would stop giving blood to save sick newborn children from other races. I guess one comment wasn’t enough for you. Also, you used a meme with a white girl in it? I guess you have a preference and are seeking attention from a white girl because of it. I guess the second meme is really about yourself.
just because you think this way doesn’t mean others do.
There are 45 accepted blood types. That’s all the blood cell types and antigens and antibodies. For all humans, at least so far as blood transfusion recognizes.
I don’t think that is the discrimination vector you think it is, nor a reason you’d be discriminated against at all.
By discussing blood gangs, I’m trying to explain that my body is physically incapable of making other blood types besides O-. For this reason, I am not direct family to the other blood gangs, just like how all the rh- females I descended from are not either. I guess on the bright side, I don’t have to make the gangsters that hate me because I’m white. Blood type matters and gangs form around it.
“blood”, “gangs”, and “blood gangs” are well-worn racist and anti-Semitic tropes dating back to the middle ages.
I guess on the bright side, I don’t have to make the gangsters that hate me because I’m white.
not even trying to hide it now, i see
Gangs forming around blood type is marketing and ignorance.
You’re O negative. Your cells don’t have the A or B antigens. You have no Rh antigens. Billions of people share this. You are the “universal donor” because of the lack of these which prevents an immune response in people of other types because there is no newly introduced protein etc. to their bodies.
I’m AB positive. The opposite. I’m the “universal recipient”. And I’ve needed blood, so thank you for your donations. But these differences are as far as they go and the blood products system wouldn’t work if it was any other way.
You’re the only person outside of blood bank workers that have told me thank you for donating. Thank you. I appreciate that. I’m sorry you were in a situation where you needed a blood transfusion. I have been in that situation, too. It can be scary.
Not to be rude, but as an AB+ male, the only person with whom you could biologically have children would be an AB+ woman, correct? That would mean your direct family would also be AB+. In a world where O+ people are the majority, and there are gangs and nepotism tied to direct family relations, you don’t feel discriminated against at times? I personally feel that O+ blood gangs dominate places of employment in California.
Blood type doesn’t limit reproduction between people. A baby will inherit some combination of the two parents.
Edit: for example, my wife is O+. We’ve had multiple children. No clue what their types are, it doesn’t come up in health care around here until it’s needed.
I know what the charts say, and used to tell the opposition they were wrong every chance I had. Then I dated someone for three and a half years, had been discussing marriage and children, and whatnot. You know what happened? That person and I never had a single pregnancy, even after I stopped taking birth control and we stopped using contraceptives. He isn’t sterile and I’m not infertile. He was AB+. I’m O-. He left me for someone else. I married a man who was O+. We didn’t have any children together. A relative of my own blood type raped me in my sleep and fathered my son. I’d like to believe blood type doesn’t matter. I entered college as a biology major and was so into punnet squares . As soon as an older classmate who had a genetics class confronted me about punnet squares and said they were all incorrect, I was stunned. Why did I waste all of that time studying them then? It turns out, according to students in that genetics class and their professor, the rules on conception work much along the lines of a blood donation chart you might see at a blood bank.
