My nephew's going to be in a similar situation in a couple of years. I hope it won't be bad for him (but fear it will be), but I hope he gets through it the way you did.
Things have changed a bit since the 80s and 90s when that occurred. I was also in a very small town. So those may make a difference. Society is becoming gradually more accepting of those that were once ostracized for simply being an obvious racial mixture. ^_^ Good luck to your nephew!
The only reason i got through it, was that i was twice as stubborn as those doing the harassment. I believe it's called tenacity. *evil grin*
Kinda why i can get into Gojyo's head so easily too. Being neither one nor the other, and dont' give a crap otherwise. Also being too tough to take down, no matter what gets tossed at us. But i'd never wish it on anyone else--ever.

And good on you, for being so damn strong. (Happier note: oooh, I do like that icon.)
