[quote=Anonymous]All you can change is your actions now, right OP? I remember a lot of anti-asian racism in my ES. People made fun of the smells of some kids' lunches, did the slanted eye thing you describe, and bad fake accents. I think by the 90s when I was in high school this was not as acceptable, but I also went to a pretty progressive school on the west coast, so I would not be surprised if elsewhere it was still pervasive. DH has been involved in hockey (used to be at a high level, now recreational and coaching) since the 80s and said that locker room pejorative use of gay only really stopped in the last 5-10 years. With all of these things there's also a time period where a majority have realized that it's wrong but a sizeable group still do it and I think it takes a while for the peer pressure to stamp out the rest.
