Question

Answer 1

No, but Ive seen others do it to others, but there has about my heritage but not just directly to me.. But its okay to do that, It was just a quick reaction, A tiny bit too far but not that bad.. Its okay, You were standing up for yourself and your heritage. When people know that you can stand up for yourself, They'll back off, They want to make you feel bad either because you are a grin and bear type or they are jealous. :)Even though you feel bad, They shouldnt be insulting you in the first place anyway. But its YA, Everyone is just rude to eachother lol, People really need manners, People take advantage over the internet, dont let that hurt you.

Answer 2

Omg yes. It is awful. I am half Jewish-russian and Arab and the yahoo comments are soo hateful.
