@mrviquez I like your philosophy you should be proud of where you are from. One thing I would like to say though is that you should never let people like that get to you, they just aren't worth it!
I usually dwell and get angry over the nasty things people say to me, but I am trying to turn over a new leaf. I am trying to just let that hateful crap wash over me, it is turning out to be quite a refreshing stance.
