Remember, most young people are very ignorant. Maybe they're not doing it on purpose, even if it is racist. Most of them are imbeciles, specially if they are from the U.S.
Racism is so hot over there because they just can't see past themselves. Over opinionated and over emotional.
If you are the better person you will understand their ignorance and forgive them. Not because you think "you're better" but because you truly feel they're on a different level than you. Everyone is growing at a different pace. You are lucky you are standing from this side of the coin and can realize what it feels like. Use this for your own spiritual growth.

What is it that they are saying? Jokes between friends is one thing, but if it's ignorant comments based on race (or anything else) said to make it hurt, yeah it's prejudiced. If it causes a problem I would let authority figures at the school know about it, no one should be allowed to cause you stress and discomfort in a place where you are there to learn.

I guess it all depends on what you let get to you.
Whiggers are definitely s mystery to me. Spend their entire youth trying to "be black", not gender confused, just race confused I guess. Listen, a saying like that Is not one of the most horrible things you can hear BUT If it makes you uncomfortable, speak up. Just tell them they are not black and the laws of nature will never let them be black.

Your question makes no sense! And no, my comment is not racist.
EDIT;
Oh, they're speaking to you with slang because of the fact that you're black. No, it's not racism, just ignorance. Also, depending on their tone, if they're telling you these things with sarcasm or don't normally talk to other people this way, then yes, they are being racist and should be reported to your principal.

not sure of the question. it doesn't matter why you are going or how you are going or even who is paying for it. What matters is that you are going. Enjoy school, learn, make yourself eligible for better jobs and better money. If they have you because you are black good for them. Take advantage of every opportunity.

It depends on what they are saying. However, when race or color is referred to as a cause or reason why something is true or untrue about someone, as a generalization, that is usually a racist remark.

They may not mean for it to be racist but they might. See their face when they say it and see how it reads to you. They may just be trying to be cool by saying stuff black people normally say.

Don't worry about deciding what is racist and what is not... don't let them lower you to that point.
People think I am racist but I just get mad at people that try to blame their problems on a skin color. I don't care if it is your skin or someone elses skin because it has NOTHING to do with who you are.
Be yourself and BE PROUD of your skin color no matter what color it is.

Yes, it is racist, and I wish it were possible for me to apologized to you on behalf of the entire white race. I am one person, white, but rest assured, you will be in my prayers. God bless.
