Can you get a colored overlay so the paper doesn’t look white any more? Sometimes when people actually *see* what a difference something makes, they start to believe it. You might just be working with jerks… but it could be one jerk and then others who just didn’t know how to break the “making fun” cycle.
It’s tough to work with people you know are laughing at you (I have been there). My usual defense is to try to also laugh at myself first, or if it’s totally not funny, treat it like the obnoxious challenge it is (sort of like how you act when yhou’re going to go outside and the weather is nasty…) … and really bust my butt to try to let my *strengths* show and do a really good job at teh stuff I’m really good at (or if it’s not something I’m really good at… I look for something nobody else wants to do - but not to the point where I become a walking victim trying to do anything to avoid abuse.)
Mainly… don’t let the b*ggers get you down. Maybe they’ll grow out of it someday.
