Honestly, I take all these witness accounts with a grain of salt. We live in a very "poor me" society today, and it's sometimes difficult to tell the difference between painful, traumatizing discrimination and just dealing with being different, through no fault of anyone's.

I was educated in different countries because of my father's job. During one 4 year stretch, I was not only the [u]sole foreigner[/u], but also the [u]sole mixed-ethnicity student[/u] of the entire school. I was bullied and teased for a little while, but I dealt with it and made good friends. It felt absolutely no different than later on, when I went to an international, diverse school full of kids of mixed ethnicity.

So suck it up, kiddos. We all have to deal with things.

I am not White and grew up in a White area.  Then went to an incredibly diverse college.  Both had their issues.

People of all races, religions, skin color, etc face issues.  Kids face issues due to their height or their weight.  You just have to deal with it.  Quit with the victimization.  It helps nobody.  [/quote]
