A shining example of what happens when you take a B&M English Class....

Maybe those folks you are whining about were intersted when you mentioned you were half Filipina. They are already white, they know about white culture - that is why they don't feel the need to talk about that part, maybe they were curious if you could teach them something about a culture that they were unfamiliar with. So white people are bigots when they don't care for other cultures, but rude when they show interest in other cultures? Are white people supposed to be culturally sensitive or not?

Yep. Double standard in America. People always say "I'm Mexican-American" or "I'm Latina" or "I'm Asian" attempting to show how they're "different" an isolate themselves from the group... but then get offended when you're the one to mention race.

People need to drop the hyphens and just be "American" and then maybe all this racial crap will stop.
