Even children? I think most of the abuse I've received from strangers has come from children. They have no filter.

I'm only speaking from my experience which I accept is different, I don't get the racism, so I have it much easier
-
I'm sorry if I caused offence (and sorry you experience this), just wanted to add my own experience that's all
-
Not sure who this comment is for but if it's for me you've not caused any offence at all. I've not found anything offensive in this convo
-

I didn't read anything like that into it.

Or they generally find my accent funny.

Time for a voice recording post and twitter poll?

Why? It's likely to attract abuse. I've had ppl make comments on the actual sound of my voice, including at work, using terms like "bitchy".
