Has racism ever had an effect on you?
Not just being called racist slurs, but actually being limited in some way because of race. Something like this happend to my parents a few years ago. I know my parents went to some foriegn store our of the U.S. (Rome I think it was) and stood in line to buy some things. When it was my parent's turn, the cashier ignored then but, continued serving people that were even behind my parents. My parents didn't get helped until my father complained. It was supposedly because my parents are Filipino. |

I'm half black, 1/4 chinese and 1/4 italian. My whole life is a mess of racism. I've always been too white for the black people and too black for the white people. I never quite fit in because people assumed by my skin and hair that I was something I wasnt. Damn them all. Even my family is that way. My white cousin wasnt allowed to date black guys, but its like hello, I was made because of a black person. Its so wrong. I wish I wasnt stuck in the middle.

But you can't help, when being in a group // church... surrounded by black people, feel very self-conscious... it's only normal...?  It also bothers me when I talk to a 'friend' and they bring up racism. I've lost contact with someone because of that before. |

It also bothers me when I talk to a 'friend' and they bring up racism. I've lost contact with someone because of that before. I understand you even though I'm black. My school's full of Arabs and I tend to be very VERY VERY very self-conscious. It's like a reflex or something. However, I've not really faced racism because I'm half black and white. The full blacks and whites face racism every day, mostly from Arabs. It's terrible down here. Asians get laughed out because of their "facial looks". People do weird things to their eyes, just too make fun of them. One of my friend said "oh, you mean the chitong" and I almost had a heart attack. Racism sucks. |
