*hands Randall a lighter*
"Thank you." *snatches lighter and photo and turns around* "Don't want this piece of humiliation to get around now, do we?"

Interesting post. Seems to focus on how we relate to Randall personally.
I know Randall's social awkwardness all too well. I was never actually ridiculed on my race (caucasian), or nationality (American), however... I have faced a lot of social ridicule and misunderstanding, ALL due to internal, intellectual differences of approaches. For 12 years, I lived in a town called Enid, and on a few occasions, my being a native of California has been held as a strike against me. Case and point: I believe that anyone can be redeemed, and I even plan to major in and be a missionary in the entertainment industry, but I haven't always found a listening ear on this, because people simply do not grasp how much my convictions mean to me.
Like Randall, I've been made fun of. In some places, people have called me names behind my back: I've been called 'autistic' from 11-13 times (out of earshot), and many casual, unsuspecting people have falsely accused me of being gay about 5-6 times, using secretive allusions and insinuations that are unmistakable. (One was a domineering dad who actually threatened me with violence, though the grounds for his accusations were as loony as a flying crocodile.) I've been picked on and bossed around by about 7 elder men throughout my life, some relatives, some not. Only ONE, who was a church member, actually apologized to me... which was 2 Sundays later after manhandling me on the shoulder due to some perceived rudeness which clashed with a bad day he was having. I am not, by nature, a macho-wacho butchy type of guy. I'm very calm, mild-mannered, nerdy, talkative, but very sensitive toward people who are in need of encouragement, or understanding and sympathy, yet there are still people that treat me like I fell off the planet Neptune. There are times even when I try to do something good and helpful, and something comes along that makes the bottom fall out - JUST like Randall!
Once, I even tried to shoot a personal film project of mine, got all my actors together, but the public access station I was a member of had these tapes called SONY DVM60s, and yet they acted like they didn't because I was supposed to ALREADY have some on my own, which NOBODY mentioned, so... after one of my actor friends attempted to acquire some, the bottom fell out, and I had to call off the whole shooting day and have everyone go home. The company acted part-lazy, and part-crooked to me... but the bottom line was, I was publicly humiliated because it made ME look like I was the one unprepared, and I was the guy who kept my nose to the grindstone on it from the beginning! Later, when my personal mentor who USED to work there heard about it, he was FURIOUS at how the staff treated me. That company has since dissolved and is now conducting their projects in a basement away from the world. Some pity... as a consolation present, my mentor mailed me a box with GOBS of SONY DVM60 tapes so I'd have them for future projects, which I was very thankful for.
I personally have to quote the 9th Beatitude in the Bible book of Matthew: "Blessed are ye when men revile and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake."
So yes, I KNOW how Randall feels... very much so. I've been treated like a squirming chameleon before throughout my life... no doubt about it!
