I can empathize, Pablo. I grew up the only Lebanese in the entire state of Missouri...or it felt like that. Everyone was either Italian, German (HEAPS of Germans), generic white or generic black. Then the camel jockey/Lesbianon jokes began. I was thrilled to move to So Cal, where no one noticed me. Everyone being something.
