Why is it that whenever I go out with some of my freinds from school people stare at me?

Question

I am black and since I live in the ghetto I go to a private school with white kids and middle easterners. My freinds from school know I dress like a balla type they dont care about that when I go around the places they hang out at, so why do others?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, people only see with their eyes. They don't know how to look past appearances, some do but most don't. Just Be yourself, don't worry about others staring or what they think!

Answer 2

First of all, would you get stared at if you went to the same kind of place with a mostly black clientele? If so, what could you do to change that?

If not, then it's a racial thing. Sorry to have to say that but sadly, racism still exists. So does sexism. So does homophobia.

Talk to your classmate friends and tell them how you feel. Maybe they can be a support system for you. Or not. But mainly, you have to be comfortable with who you are.

Here's a link to an old GBLT song that still rings true.Good Luck!

Answer 3

It's embarrassing and sad to admit, but some prejudices still exist. Even if it is subtle, some people still have trouble seeing other races, colors, religions doing things, wearing things, being with people they did not grow up with. I hope we see that disappear completely in our lifetime.

Answer 4

Because they can think out side their little brains. Hence the saying small minded.

Answer 5

if you look for and expect people to be staring at you when you go out then you'll always find someone "staring" at you

try just to relax and ignore it

Answer 6

cuz they have elephantitus
