lol...

Hispanics are usually of Eurasian descent as well... I think Spaniards are generational Eurasians like Kazakhstan and Israelis. That's why some hapas / eurasians get mistakened for Hispanics.

Yeah, once I heard this guy say, "Ching ching chong chong" at me on the track field, and I just ignored him. Yes, I ignored him because he is going to fail at life, whereas I am going to be successful and awesome.

I'm a racist experience. 8D
I'm so politically incorrect with my friends, it's awful. I insist that they call me ching-chong.
But it's cool. I'm equally racist towards all cultures. Just more so to my own.

I feel like everyone's too sensitive to everything anyway. Why live if you can't laugh at yourself every now and then (Or in my case, constantly)?

Oh yes, I laugh at myself every day. I laughed at myself every day while I was receiving racism for being different. Now I laugh at myself every day for having an identity problem because I'm different.

No, it's not being too sensitive. It's being human. Especially when you can't find consolation and you're one of a kind in where you're being harassed.

=_= sorry... bad experiences. I hate racism.

Counter.
I know you've got some material, chika. You just have to use it. D;

Just know that they're not trying to be funny
they're just dumb.

And you're better than them, 'cause you aren't.

That's when you're older... if you grow up with racism, you don't really know how to deal with it and it just gets to you. Blah! =_=

I get called a racist loads, but that's because I live in Belgium. Belgians are submissive to foreigners here.

Im african american and I have had my fair share of racist comments to. My family always tell me im blackanise, or my brother would call me an anime reject, or asian reject. My mom won't let me touch my hair or dress a certain way because shes says thats not the "black" way.

But I mostly got it at school, like my Asian friends would ask me questions like, " Why do black people have such big lips?" or "Why are all black songs are about the ghetto?". And sometimes it just pisses me off. I had this one guy in my classes that always made racist remarks, he was the class clown. But, unlike most people, he seems to do it in such a matter that we all just shrug it off. But it didn't make it right.

I get a lot talk about me because I like Asian music, fashion, just the whole culture and anime. I love listening to Dir en Grey, LMC, Beat crusaders, Asian Kung fu generation, and others. I love watching anime and reading manga. Because of this I really only have one black friend at my school. The rest are a mix of races. Off-topic, but once I called my group of friends the American dream because we were a bunch of different races ( African American, Asian, mexican, and white) getting along just fine together.

Though I think the worst was when I was walking home from school one day, and a group of white boys were talking about burning people. I didn't know they were talking about African Americans until they pointed at me and said, "Hey theres a black girl why don't we go burn her?". I was so scared and started to walk faster home. As far as I remember I never walked down that path alone again.

But I do know my mom says racist things like asians can't drive, and spanish people are alway pregnant. But I don't really respect her and she knows that. And my brother doesn't like too many white people (europeans) because quite a few have be racist towards him.
I know were your coming from with the your not black thing, I get it ALL the time. Oh and my mom says the same racist things yours dose, though I still adore my mother.

Yeah, racism is very hectic were I live because I live in Arizona, and thats right along the Mexican border so it gets really tough in this day of age. I don't know if you have heard but people have locked down schools so that their students could go protest in Hispanic and border rights.

I remember all the Hispanics and some other races were planning to all ditch school to go protest in the march. They were going to walk all the way downtown witch is about 8 hours from were our school is. Though word of this got around and they locked us all in we had a school wide chat about it.

So its weird.
