my point is, racism hasn't stopped. It spreads. Just because I wasn't forced into slave labor doesn't mean that it's completely gone.
The "jokes" are funny to some ... but some people actually mean it.

but that's the root of the issue, is it right to pick on people because they look different? That's not truly acceptable, never is, never will be.
You can choose what you think and believe ... you can't choose what shell you're born into.

from 5th grade all the way though 8th ... 3 solid years of bullshit racism jokes day in and day out have an effect on you.
Don't take me wrong, I have friends of all colors and associations ... but to have the "jokes" stop by being with "my own kind", was something I really needed to develop as a person.
