Yup. The hardest part of vet school wasn't the curriculum, it was my ignorant classmates and colleagues. I was one of two people of color in our year, and classmates and clinicians always got us confused. A classmate said in lecture that a cat with a URI looked "so ch*nky and Asian". 

Since graduating I've moved to a large, diverse city and it's been better.. but racists will always make themselves heard unfortunately.
