There are racist people of all backgrounds...you just have to remember that it's their ignorance.

I was lucky enough to grow up in an interracial household. I feel that I was given the oppurtunity to see the world in a different way. I judge people by their personality, and the way that they treat me and others. Being from the South, I too had to deal with alot of BS, from other people at school and stares from strangers when my family would go out together. I use to get really fired up about it, but my parents have taught me to ignore the ugly in the world....you can't change everyone...just stay true to yourself and stand up for what you believe in.

It amazes me how racist people are to this day...I feel sorry for them, honestly. They're obviously very shallow people.

I'm very sorry that you were treated that way...it breaks my heart b/c I've been through the same thing, and I know how it feels to be judged simply on the color of your skin...just remember that you are a great person, and we all love you here!!!
