Interesting article on CNN http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/16/white.valedictorian/index.html?eref=rss_topstories
Why is it that we can't be happy when someone succeeds if they are different than us? This is certainly not limited to race. I have known a few who were unhappy that some from their different economic class had succeeded. Even in sports it works this way. I have always lived in the West ( and Brazil) so I tend to cheer for sporting teams from the west, not just my geographical area. That even goes for the NFL where I am typically an NFC fan. I would root for Seattle over the Giants because Seattle is in the West. What makes us not only shun differences but make it an us/them mentality?
