What the fucking fuck?!! The world is full of idiots. People who say shitty things and put other races down just so they can feel good about themselves.
I've had my share of experiences too. I'm not white. When I was in college a handful of us went to visit one of our 'new' friend's home for the weekend (the good ole college road trip, you could call it) and when we got there, that girlfriend's sister took one look at the rest of us and said, "aren't there any Americans at that school you're going to?" Yes, she and her family were white, and none of the rest of us were. Huh. I thought, when was white considered American? It's not. She wasn't Native American either. She was just being a bitch.
Racism is everywhere with stupid people saying the most fucked up things that they don't even think sounds racist. It's hard not to let it affect you, but try to take the high road. You should definitely talk to the professor and let him knew he was out of line. It most likely won't do anything, racists don't usually think they are-- they just think the rest of us are 'sensitive'... but he shouldn't be getting a free pass either.
Don't let the idiots get you down! I'm rooting for you! :) *hugs*
