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.
never said that man, never said that.
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.
But you seem to have worked thru all that hatred, and from your latter posts that i have read you seem to be pretty well off. I think every single one of us white/black/asian or whatever have experienced crude racial biased jokes when we were growing up, its just a part of life nowadays.
