It does happen DA. I imagine NYC being totally different from some small town hidden deep in the South - and stereotypes and prejudices are not limited to the US, but exist everywhere. Imagine you would have lived in a place where every American of non European descent is looked down upon. Your childhood would have been a lot different - even if you would have been exactly the same.

Poverty is also something kids are being teased for. Should parents who do not make at least $55,000 combined be forbidden to have children, or adopt children, because you would be knowingly suvjecting them to bullying? I don't think so. And kids will always find a reason to bully some other kids for. It does not have to a valid one. Any excuse the "culture" offers might be good enough.
