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

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, 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

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

Why are so many people giving OP such a hard time? It doesn't sound like he's ashamed. It seems to me he's proud and is annoyed of people laughing at his background all the time. I would find it irritating, too. Jokes get realllyyy old a lot faster when they're repeated over and over again. To those who said don't tell people, what is he supposed to say when someone asks about his background? Because I doubt he blurts out in the middle of a conversation that he's German, Japanese, Jewish just for the heck of it. The post clearly says he had to discuss it in school. It was not a choice. And as I said before, I don't think he's ashamed so lying wouldn't really be an option. And his fml is about stupid people making the same stupid jokes all the time, not about the "irony" (whether it's really there or not).
