The "dis" in Discrimination

With the Arizona immigration law still a hot debate, we have gotten glimpses of both sides of the argument. Some call it racial profiling and some deem it necessary to protect our country and border.

However discrimination doesn't always have to be about the color of your skin. Write about a time when you have felt that someone has passed judgment on you. For example, the way you are dressed or the way you have your hair, or even what they "think" your race is. This could have been in your academic career or a general experience out in the world.

How did you handle it?

How did you prove them wrong?

What are your feeling when this happens to you?

I look forward to reading your great writing but keep it appropriate.
