Many years ago I came to the realization that the only person I could have any control over was myself. So I worked on being a better person and have succeeed in many ways, but still need work in other areas. I could care less what other people do, they do not represent me, where I am from, or what I hope to become.

Basically, do the best you can people, worry about how you conduct yourself with respect to others, the rest will sort itself out.
