 This is something that bothers me so I decided I'd rant about it here.

I have family on my mother's side that I can trace back to the second landing at Jamestown. My father's side doesn't go back quite that far, but they do go back to the pre-Revolution. I have family on both sides such that I have relatives that fought in every major American conflict, including both sides of the Civil War. My nearest migrated relatives are seven generations back on both sides. I even have a marginal amount (like 1/152) of native blood in me. So, pray tell, does that not make me a 'native' American?

It used to be that people would treat me normally and respect me a great deal until I opened my mouth and demonstrated just how autistic I was. Then I usually got 'tolerated' by adults or 'bullied' by my peers. I personally see that as a kind of racism, but I don't think that most would agree with me.

Personally I think the whole 'no child is born racist' is a load of bullshit. Humans don't like that which is unlike themselves, its part of the pact instinct.
