What I'm driving at is -- get over it! There will always be people who react to you for stupid external reasons. If it prevents you from getting a job, keep good records and lodge the appropriate civil suit. Otherwise, write off people who treat you superficially and move on to those who don't. Life is too rich to wallow in self-pity, however well its seems justified.

I mostly ignore it, to be honest with you. But what pissess me off is alot of Blacks and other minorities not being able to get over it. Which makes me pissed, I've been through the same. if not worse, yet do I bring it up every 10 seconds? Do I play the rascist card? Nope.
