We've gone over this before about how i'm ashamed of my own culture and everything.

To be very honest with you, I feel like at times I agree with all the stereotypes that had been thrown at me when I was in middle school. One of my hispanic classmates asked me if I could drive. I told him that I was not 18 yet. Then an asian friend of mine told me that as an asian, one couldn't drive.
Once when i was reading a math problem off my textbook, my teacher told me that I sounded like I was speaking Chinese. How do you like that?
At times i feel like laughing with others about this. Maybe it's self-hate or just sheer merriment. Like this one episode of The Carrie Diaries, when they were trying to make a turkey for thanksgiving, Carrie's friend was referred to as an oriental maid and i began cracking up.
Or this one time when my business instructor asked me if the people who spoke in a foreign tongue were speaking Chinese, I replied,"No, they weren't."
I don't know why this is still happening, because we now live in the 21st century and racism should be a thing of the past, not that of the present.
