People make racial comments about you being white?
I've heard white people make comments before about how minorities shouldn't be so sensitive, that's real easy to say. Its something else when you encounter repeated episodes of being treated different or being called racist names to your face. Its not a measure of how laid back I am when its offensive to me to be called a gook walking down the street minding my own business. If it offends Japanese people to see the word "Jap" cause it reminds them of all the racism they put up with in the past, don't be patronizing and say cause its they are not laid back enough.
