I did a poll on this to get more useful answers, and also to make it possible for people that are afraid of political correctness issues to be able to answer truthfully.

This has to be quite the strangest poll I have ever seen.

I would assume the group who discriminates the most would have to be the same as the aspie's. I'm a caucasian female: to me caucasian females are the worst. Because they feel we're the exact same type of people and they should be able to relate to me and I to them, and it's not possible. They judge my flaws as a "female caucasian" much more than others who don't expect as much of me. Black guys are never going to expect me to behave exactly like them, and they find me sort of weird but cute. Even caucasian males tend to say things like "argh, women....." meaning, I'm not weird, just female , all females are weird.

Mainly Caucasian males, but it's a mix of all genders and races.

"caucasians" meaning...north americans, light skinned south americans, russians, europeans, south africans...

that's quite a melange you've got going on there.

Mostly other British females what speak the same language as me are the worst. I tend to get along better with foreign males and females, and they don't seem to notice any weirdness about me, funnily enough.

Working class white females. I find it interesting.

White, North American females treated me the worse. They didn't even give me the time of day, because they didn't like my accent, my grammar or my appearance. They were a bunch of Valley Girls, and they still are.

I have to admit that I don't really see the point of this poll. For one thing, I find racial categories quite arbitrary. Why is Obama considered black or African American, for example? Shouldn't he be black-and-white, African European American, or more precisely English-German-Irish-Kenyan-Scottish-Swiss-Welsh-American?

For me, Caucasians are people who live in the Caucasus region, and white people don't exist. I consider myself to be a pale shade of pink :) Most people are pink-skinned where I live (and have never been to the Caucasus), so of course pink people have treated me the worst. But since I've had little to no contact with people of other skin colors, my experience has no statistical relevance imho.

What the...? What's with the poll? I reckon, if I lived in the middle east, it would be Arabs (male, the females aren't allowed out of the house in most countries) who treated me the worst, and if I lived in say Zambia, it would be African/Black people, and if I lived in Japan.... as it is, there aren't that many non-Russo-European people (please don't say Caucasian, I find it offensive) where I've been, so it's been those of European descent who have treated me worse.

I find men are usually more friendly than females, in the most part, but it varies.

I've made the opposite experience, but that's probably because I'm male and had a lot more contact with male peers than with female ones.

I also think this poll is pointless to an extent. Of course for me they are white people, I live among them, other races always hold some distance here where I live.

For me females are way more difficult to get along with, at least ten times on average. I don't know why. They may force their will and policies on me most of the time, they act and speak much better than I do. Sometimes they would judge me sharply, just to make sure I get their message that I usually don't understand or can't agree with. I can only lose.
