Do you get equally offended by racist remarks on both of your race or does one sting more than the other?
For example, if you are a white/black mix, would you feel more offended if people made racist remarks about your black side than your white side or vice versa? Or would both remark equally offend you?
Biracial people only please.

I am a white/black mix. Black jokes do not offend me, the "n word" also does not offend me. The only time either of those offend me is when people are intentionally trying to hurt my feelings, and/or if they're a racist person. White jokes, comments, ect. do not offend me what-so-ever.
Well i'm Chinese/Dutch and i've only been called remarks on Asian people because i don't look white at all.
I only get offended if people i don't know say offensive things. (If it's someone i know he/she's probably joking if not i would say something about it.)
I do get annoyed sometimes because there is a lot of China-bashing on the internet, like on a Dutch news website before there was a story that was about one Chinese person commiting suicide every 90 seconds, and there were people (who probably have never been anywhere near the place) saying i hate that disgusting country etc.)
Well congratulations China has 1.3 billion people ofcourse you're going to have many suicides. And China is 65th on suicide rate per 100.00 people, so why is this news? I guess you already know.
And all of this hate is based on the news and ignorance, that's just stupid.
Sorry i might have gone a little off topic here just my point of view and what irritates me.
Why get offended. Each and every person on this earth should know, there are a lot of ignorant people. Brush it off, people are stupid.
Only ignorance leads to hate.
A racist comment, no matter which side it's on is still a racist comment and offensive. Kind of a dumb question. I suppose that's offensive too...
I take offense equally. I don't like when anyone pokes "fun" at ethnicities in general, not just mine. One summer with friends, we tried coming up with names for biracial people. For instance, one of our friends was Asian and Caucasian so we called her "Wasian". Perhaps, it is because I don't have much of a sense of humor or that I'm just too sensitive but it got to the point where I found myself being emotionally hurt over my term. It was okay and interesting at first but then when it became almost a form of borderline discrimination and the terms replaced our names, it got to be too much.
It is generally not accepted for someone who is not Black to say "The 'N' Word". That includes 'nigga' and especially 'nigger'. To be honest, it can be very dangerous to say the 'N' word when a Black person can hear you. Since I went to a very multicultural school, there were Whites, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians. A group of about 5 Whites continually bullied a Black kid, not because he was Black, but for some other reason. Anyways, one of the bullies called the Black boy a nigger. Every Black person who heard it, as well as some Whites, ended up banking/jumping the bullies. Don't even say it jokingly. It's not a safe idea.
