    I see your point, and I pity the fact that you have to deal with such ignorance.

    However, racist still isn't a race. ^_^

    Why Be Offended?

    I mean what's wrong with the word indians? It describes a group of people who geographically live in a country and land called india, the land of wonderful spices. Chistopher Colombus called Native Americans indians by mistake, but that does not mean that the word should be BANNED because it offends another race. And is it wrong to classify people? Everything in this world is classified, and grouped, from products to things in nature. Bears have different species, there are the mighty grizzly bears, white polar bears, Panda's (I lub panda's :D)...

    We are in a day and age where we must come to accept our differences, whether it's skin, eyes, hair, togue(language, accent, dialect etc..), time, place. We were born this way we cannot change that fact. If people cannot accept that TOUGH. It's their loss. If another race want to be racist to another so that they feel better, then let them, who cares anyway. I'm this way, I was created this way, I cannot change my genetics, do have the money to do so, and I do not want to change, because if i do that means I have not come to accept myself and have no pride. I'll be lost if i changed my appearance to look like a certain race, because neither that race or mine will accept me. Why do I have to change? I've got my own race and people like me. I am not one of a kind. So what if a certain race dislikes me and offends me for what I am, I don't need them and it's their 'humble' opinion anyway. As long as I'm proud of what I am, and I have accepted myself, then I can live happy, at that stage no one can hurt me, or offend me.

    So anybody offends you in any way! SAY I'M PROUD TO BE WHAT I AM!

    'We can't change what people believe, but all we can do it educate them and hope that they would understand..."
    I'm not racist, ... I hope I didn't offend anyone? :sweat:
