What really burns me up is people treating people like garbage because of skin color, ethnicity, race, religion, even sexuality!
Nowadays, people think it's funny to make fun of other races. Such as stretching out your eyes with your fingers and speaking pidgin English, saying you're Asian, walking around with a bowler hat on and carrying an umbrella saying "Pip, pip, Cheerio!" in a severely horrible inaccurate accent saying you're British, eating watermelon saying you're black, saying you're Latino if more than 5 people are all related and live together.
