I get called whitewashed...?

YOU SHOULDN'T BE BOTHERED BY SUCH IGNORANCE..in your case it sounds like people are just jealous and intimidated because people fear what the don't understand and what's different! Most blacks relate to those who are like them, and you are not! Don't spend your life trying to be understood and accepted, because it's not worth it! You shouldn't even want to be ociated with people with such small minds anyway! JUST DO YOU AND LET THEM DO THEM!
