Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was discussing my family heritage with my girlfriend's parents. The moment I told them that I came from a German background, her seven-year-old brother pointed at me and yelled, "HITLER!" FML
Today, there was a new girl in one of my classes. We both corrected a classmate on his grammar, so, trying to make a new friend, I leaned back to her and said, "Haha, fellow Grammar Nazi?" She gave me a disgusted look and told me she was Jewish. FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Class dismissed
Today, our class was focusing on discrimination, and our teacher asked us if anyone had ever felt discriminated against. I put my hand up to share a story, and my teacher immediately said, "It's because you're ginger, isn't it?" That's not what I was going to say. FML
Today, I had to explain to half of my class that yes, my birthday is on the same day as Hitler's, but no, it does not make me a Nazi. FML
Today, I excitedly told my family that, after years of studying and dedication, I've been awarded a full scholarship to Germany. My mom's reaction was to start sobbing about me becoming a "heathen" and my dad and brother started telling Nazi jokes. FML
Indoctrination?
Today, we were discussing evolution at the super-religious school I'm forced to attend. I mentioned homo sapiens, and my teacher mockingly replied, "You actually believe in homo sapiens? Hahahah!" The whole class started laughing. No, not at the teacher; at me. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over to my parents' house for dinner. My dad made Holocaust jokes the entire time. My boyfriend is Jewish. FML
Kids, it doesn't get any better
Today, I was sitting in class when I overheard a group talking about how much they don't like me. When they saw me there, they burst out laughing. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML

...... uh, some people here are forgetting that Hitler was 1/8 jewish... ahaha, but yeah, sucks for you OP. People are alway going to make comments, you've just gotta learn to not give a ****.

I'm half black (African American whatever ) and Vietnamese. Try imagining all the stupid comments I get op. I get asked all the time which one I identify with more and I say neither. if anything I'm white. because white people are who I mostly grew up around. That and my dad's family (the black side) were pretty classy and not all stereotypical ghetto. About all of my cousins on both sides of my family are multiracial. Don't let your heritage define you, but don't deny it either.

well if u knew history u would see y people say ironic. but the Germans and Japanese partnered together during WW2 and Hitler was killing all the Jews that Nazi Germany could find.

Yeah, I find it really odd too. It's the only place where someone will rattle off how they're 1/32 this and 2/5 that. It doesn't happen anywhere else in my experience. For a country with such emphasis on migrants assimilating, it has always struck me as strange. The great one is when someone claims a heritage, and has no practical connection with the country whatsoever. It used to bug the hell out of my Irish friends when someone in the US would say they were Irish, but when they asked what county they were from, they'd say "my great-great-great-grandmother was from Mayo!" I think people forget that these countries are actual real places in the modern world.

It's because people who live in the U.S. don't all belong to the same ethnic background as people from other countries. We don't all speak the same language, worship the same religion, or even talk the same way. In some countries you can look and act the exact same as any random person you see on the street, but the U.S. has people from literally every country around the world. That's why people talk about that stuff, because they can't trace their family back through thirty generations of Americans. It's not possible. Everyone in America came from somewhere else.

So...stop telling people. Your heritage isn't anyone else's business. Either keep your mouth shut or don't complain when people make comments.

I think people with a huge gene pools are great. They usually look attractive (get the best features from all). And they usually have a varied upbringing too so I find they are interesting people too. *This is just from my personal experience and I am not stereotyping every interracial person*
