I can understand your concern, but there is another aspect of this situation that you may have overlooked. Please remember that we live in a very male-dominated society. More often than not, sexism is a larger issue than racism when it comes to equality in the workforce. Thankfully enough, at least the man you are speaking of has about the same amount of education that you do. How would you feel if the only education that he had acquired was a high school degree while you had already graduated college? That is actually the situation that I am in at the present time. I am being paid less than a younger caucasian man, although I am the one with the degree and experience. So you have to identify every aspect of the situation, it may not just be your ethnicity. But keep your head up, because if you remain positive, things will work out for the best.

In response to this person's reply, I have to refer to the individual's background and exposure. To agree to such a ethnocentric OPINION is not only irrational, but also sadly uneducated. Being a mixture of many different cultures: Spanish, Vietnamese, and German; I have learned through life experiences that beauty is not only physical, but psychological. At first, this person's opinion angered me. But upon realizing the fact that this person has already had children and never graduated from high school at the age of 20, there is no merit in this person's opinion. Obviously undereducated, inexperienced, and irrational; this ethnocentric individual has much to learn about the world. I love my exotic and stunning features that make me stand out above the 'average' crowd. Believe me, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. And that person should always be yourself. Love who you are and you will always be the most beautiful person on earth.

I work at a pet store and I can say that deaf people have their own form of communication that works for them, as well as a better understanding of their situation thanks to modern technology and books. Cats, and other animals, do not have it made as easily as we do. Your deaf cat has no one with whom they can successfully communicate with besides you, his owner. Because he has no use of arms to get your attention and does not understand why he cannot hear, he chooses to cry aloud. That communication is the only that he has noticed that you are reacting to, so he knows that it works. I know of two people that are deaf and barely speak aloud because they do not have to. They are able to communicate with sign language and on pen and paper to me if I don't understand their 'speech'. Your cat is yowling because he knows it is causing a reaction from you, but also because he has no idea that it even makes noise. A deaf person understands their deafness while a cat does not. I would be frustrated too if I couldn't hear but would never be able to understand why.
