But I would also like to say this now, I've lived my life as the minority, probably worse than you. In my graduating class there were exactly 10 whites, 280 hispanic/blacks. So yes, I know what I'm talking about when I mension discrimination. When I first moved here I thought my name translated into gringo or hudeo (spanish terms for whitey basically).

Hm... this sounds like minority to me. But while I was physically beaten, verbally put down, and denied jobs because of my skin color... it does not matter because my skin color is the same as most rich people.
Do you realize how insulting that is to me? That these things done to me are somehow ok because many others the same color are doing ok?
Have you ever been called racist names?
Have you ever flat out been told you arent going to get hired because you're the wrong skin color?
Have you ever been assaulted because you're the wrong color?
Have you? If you have you'd have the slightest clue what I'm talking about and you wouldn't just write it off as being ok. My family has NEVER done any injustices to blacks or mexicans, yet this is continually written off as ok because we owe them or something.
