You're missing my point...one side my family came overly shortly before WWII. I wouldn't exactly say we've been here forever. I just don't like the attitude I'm getting (much more from you than from the AfAm posters) that Asian people had it so much harder than Irish/Italian/Catholic/etc. My own sorority (and no doubt yours too) wouldn't have accepted my great-grandparents. I'm white. Where's my skin priviledge there? (I'm using this as an example seeing as though this is the GreekChat and all.)
