Well, I'm the first generation of my family born in the U.S. and I've experienced a little haranguing over my ethnic background, but I usually just laugh it off and come back with a worthy rejoinder. I didn't join gangs and I don't bomb my country. As far as discrimination goes, there will always be that as long as their are humans with different cultures and skin colors. But in the U.S. and U.K., you still have plenty of opportunities to overcome that. The great equalizer, as I have found out, is education, money, and career success. With a superior education, I found out that it's pretty easy to make discriminatory people look like fools. Then add to that money and career success and all the discrimination pretty much stops. At least that has been my experience. Anyway, I guess there will always be neanderthals out there, but I wonder why they seem to be mostly concentrated among Muslims nowadays?
