Okay, what's your point Andrew? That was grade school. I moved from a school in a town of 1400 with no minorities for miles to a school in downtown Syracuse with a black population of 65% when I was 12. I can't tell you how many times I got called cracker or got put down because of my race. Am I bitter? Why would I be? It was in grade school. I looked different from what most kids looked like, why
wouldn't they make fun of me?
I think it's pretty narrow minded for you to tell me that I don't have anything in common with minorities. I was best friends with an asian kid for almost 5 years and I was best friends with a black kid my freshman year of college. Maybe you feel that way because you had an especially hard life or something, I don't know, but where I'm from race is very rarely an issue unless the person is racist and refuses to hang out with white kids or black kids or whatever.
