Related to white privilege: Discrimination from your "own kind"

[Taualumna]

As a member of a minority group, I've felt more discrimination from my own ethnic group than from anyone else, usually based on my personal interests/lifestyle. For example, after watching "Legally Blonde II" this summer, my cousin (who is from Hong Kong) said that I was "really uptown". It's as if she didn't approve of the way I dressed or what I did for fun. Another girl once criticized my choice of undergraduate institutions, saying that they were "sooooooooooooooooooo white". I know that many people in GC have said that they've faced "issues" when they became new members of historically white GLOs, but how about outside of the Greek System?
