I guess until you have faced racism, like I have, you do not know how it feels and could never really understand how hurtful one comment against your ethnicity could be....no matter how big or small.

In my case it is opposite. The reason why I am not that sensitive to so-called or even real racist remarks is not because I haven't faced racism...it's because I have faced LOADS of it as a kid. I've been called every racist name and told every racist comment out of the book day in and day out. Silly comments like this is nothing compared to what i've witnessed or been told in the past. Perhaps I've just developed thick skin.
