Honestly, I can't think of any definitive instances in my life where I was discriminated against based on my race.
If I had to say, it's probably when I was in Los Angeles when I was trying to get a table at a Korean restaurant. They claimed it was full then some Korean showed up and got a table before me. Funny thing is, I'm half Japanese. So that's maybe the only time.
When I was in the military and stationed in the South. I was a bit worried at first since before leaving everyone back in L.A. would tell me how I'd get lynched, mocked etc.
None of that ended up happening. In fact during my time in the South, I dated mostly white women and no one really seemed to care. It was just normal to them. In L.A. the race of your partner somehow matters and people tend to comment about it.
In the end I ended up marrying a white woman.
And again the only people to comment about her race are people in L.A. after I moved back there.

The Koreans hate the Japanese, so it wouldn't surprise me.
