OMG, do minorities really feel like they have to hide their ethnicity to be accepted in white america?
I am in no way trying to cause trouble, it just saddens me to think that with all the progress we have made, it seems like people feel that they have to hide who they are to be accepted. LauGh a Lot, you should be proud of your heritage, and if you feel like you can't be yourself around your sisters, then thats not the place for you. ( I know you are a senior, just a bit of advice for next year.) Hope all goes well for you, just be yourself.

This was how I felt when I read the posts too. I'm glad you mentioned it, I was going to myself. I hope you all feel more secure about your various ethnicities. They shouldn't be viewed as liabilities ( as it sounds like here ) but as assets.
