I think the real problem, Lucas, is that you respond to EVERYTHING about you. Even if someone is actually trying to insult you, just brush it off. After 9/11 I heard every racist comment in the book, but I laughed it off. When I was a kid I got made fun of because of my eye. It hurt but if you act on it then they feed off your reaction (this isn't the case for this situation but it still applies to you). Seriously, just let it (it being any remark) go. In the end mostly all of us are friends who got together because of Smash.
You'd probably ignore this post unless I wrote this sentence, sadly. Despite my reservations about caring enough to post, I'm gonna do it anyway.
