Like my father, Ramanujan dealt with racial prejudice. Japanese-Americans like my parents suffered the effects of racism in America largely because of World War II. Ramanujan suffered as a dark-skinned Indian living under British imperialism. Both men were able to overcome prejudice through their important mathematical contributions.
