I agree with KathyM. Sometimes it's just these people's ignorance. I'm sure they are hard to ignore, but please try not to buy into negative stereotypes. Being able to laugh is good, as long as you aren't just masking your true feelings.

I so wish one of these days you could move to a different place, Heyitsme7, where people are more tolerant and less ignorant. You have reason to be proud of your heritage. For example, the Chinese were the first to accomplish many things--even fireworks and exams for civil servants--and there are many successful Chinese people today. And their older cities and culture as a whole are amazing. (Just one group, as an example.) How about looking up people from your heritage who are famous?

I know of universities who have students and professors from all over the world. My son goes to one of them. He has friends who are brilliant from places such as China, South Korea, Japan, Africa, and on and on.

By the way, as a former college professor, I am very impressed with your vocabulary and writing skills. You are a very smart guy. It would be sad indeed if you "allow" such ignorant people to keep you from a promising future.

BTW, being white has its disadvantages. For example, being hated just for the color of your skin and blamed for things you really had or have no control over. None of us can pick what group we are born into.
