I was put off by Classroom Diversity.  I don't know who he is or where they teach but I am tired of being lectured by people about diversity and equality in the classrooms.  I have always taught in a diverse situation and loved it.  I treat all the students as equally as is possible.  I don't care what nationality they are.  I don't care what color their eyes are.  I only care about their character.  I was raised in a bilingual town and was part of the minority.  I was treated different because I was white.  I was picked on and made fun of and teased and I learned that it didn't matter because I grew up anyway.  I also had some wonderful Apache friends who were good friends until I moved far away.  They never left the Res.  I get very tired of people complaining about how they are treated.  I feel you are treated the way you expect to be treated.  If you expect respect, then you will get it.  It is a matter of raising yourself up to meet the people head on.  If you expect to be put down, they will do exactly that. People can't make you feel bad unless you let them.

I watched a show on Channel 8 last night that had Asians talking about Hollywood and how they have discriminated against them.  Then others were saying how wonderful Hollywood was because it allowed people like Bruce Lee to become an action hero.  They didn't agree on if it was good or bad either.  (I think Hollywood stinks anyway in their portrayal of Orientals.)  What is wrong with a strong romantic MAN?  Does it have to matter what their race is?
