    It’s pure ignorance. These people are stupid, and a waste of skin because they are not educated, they don’t respect others, and they don’t care. If you correct some people, they might listen, but if they don’t listen, remember they are going to end up pissing the wrong person off, and what goes around comes around. I’m sorry that you are being made fun of, but you aren’t alone. I know you’re proud of your heritage, and at least your life isn’t as empty those people who make fun of you.

    First off, I wouldn’t be saying people of color, I’m Native American, and I’m not purple. If you don’t know what ethnic background a person is, you shouldn’t say anything about it in the first place, because you dont want to call a Puerto Rican a Mexican, or a Chinese person a Korean. In my case, either Native American or American Indian is okay. Names like ‘squaw’ are derogatory, and you’ll get more then a dirty look. A good idea is look at the race box you filled out when you were writing your comment, I think those are proper enough. Asian, Hispanic, Latino, African American, Black, White, Caucasian, etc
