    Ah, I get it.

    There is this guy I work with who makes jokes about his own race. I don't really join in though, because I don't want to offend anyone, and moreover, I don't like doing it anyway.

    But like this guy and his race, I often do the same thing with my Canadian nationality. We seem to be allowed to make fun of our own identities, but not anyone else's. It's weird how that works, eh?

    Yup. I don't do it to a major extent, mostly I just say hey ___(color of skin) boy/girl. I don't like going anymore farther than that. I remember on the first day of school one of my previous teachers were referring to Indians as "dotheads" and it kinda irked me to be honest.

    Reminds me of the black guy in our class. He's proud of his skin color, but we don't really tease him about that. He's just a bit sarcastic.

    My skin color is relatively dark because of a mix of races in my family, but I'm not very proud of it to be honest.

    I'm not very tall, but I'm average height for my age, maybe a little taller, so I don't really care.

    To be honest, I've been made fun of my whole life for being Indian, so I'm not as proud of my heritage as other people.

    I'm Korean, but I really don't have any pride in my heritage because I know next to nothing about it. What I do know is that I'm allergic to most of my native food and their cars are too small for my tastes.

    ^ This.

    I honestly don't know why people care about race at all, but racism has been slowly but steadily dying since the 70s on.

    I'm not very proud of my different heritages to be honest, but I'm surrounded by people who have been immersed in American culture anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

    I hated my race when I was a kid, because I was always picked on and such. But now, some people still do, but I could care less, like yesterday some kid was like "ha-ha you're Indian!" and I was like "It's that you know your races. *thumbs up*" :/

    Because of "high standards". If your not 100% white, then you don't fit the standard. That's what I've been told and that's why I'll never have friends in RL.. or a date. :-/
    Then those people around you must be jerks then. If they don't accept you for who you are then they doesn't deserve being friends at all.
