Why people do not like Asian?

Question

I am an Univ's student from Asia and feeling to be discriminated as yellow everyday. Why most of white people and black do not like us? Because of agry looking? yellow skin? behavior?
Sometimes I notice that people are looking at me as they are looking at trush back or something.

In asian culture, we treat foreigners very nicely but most Americans treat white people and black nicely but asian and hispanic.(mostly white Americans)

I do not think this is right and not good thing.
I'd like to know why they dont like Asians so badly and what makes them annoying. Also how can I be liked by htem as foreigner from Asia.

Answer 1

dude dont worry about it! i like asian people, im mexican-american though! oh but dont forget, the U.S. is having alot of problems with asian countries right now, maybe thats a reason people look at u differently! or it could be that u just plain out look different, i dont mean to be rude but its true, people will stare at u and look at u differently if u talk differently or are from a different country, it doesnt mean they hate u or dont like u! thats just how white-americans are, alot of them are rude and racist, but not all! u must be in a bad part of the U.S.! where i live there is almost no racism and we treat foreigners nice! we even have a foriegn exchange student at my high school, and everybody likes her! but i live in a town where 85% of the people are hispanic, so race really isnt an issue! dont let the white man get to u, they can be assholes! in some places people are just right out rude, for example, my cousin went to study in London for a year and when he came back he said that the British people were really rude, he said they would tell him to "***** Off and go back to america"! so u see, there are good people in the world and there are bad people in the world! u have just been in the presents of bad people, good luck!

What a strange question! I'm trying to imagine where you live in America. Perhaps in some tiny little town deep in the mountains that is snowed in 9 months out of the year and has only 6 inbred families you might get that reaction, but I can't imagine it anywhere else.

ALL people are a little bit shy around those who belong to some "group" they aren't familiar with. What is more obvious a sign of belonging to a grooup than the color of your skin or the shape of your face? So if you are the only Asian (aren't you from some country? Asian includes an awful lot of "types" of people!) some have seen (I can't imagine that), maybe they do look at you funny.

So you walk up, and say, "Hi, I'm Thuy (or whatever), and I can't seem to find my notes for biology. Do you remember what she said about . . ."

Ah, but you aren't comfortable doing that, are you? You see, the things that set you apart are more likely cultural than physical! You ACT different. And that's to be expected! You were not ever taught how to be an American college student!

But you will learn very, very quickly. And the first lesson is to join in conversations and reach out a bit, always watching how the other people act. What may seem rude to you now, may feel warm and friendly in a few months.

And see if you can take an intercultural communications class next semester. (This one if you can still get in!) You'll teach them, and they'll teach you.

I have never met a person who simply "didn't like Asians." Oh, they streotype them, but they are often positive stereotypes (except driving!).

And welcome!

You had me right up until you said that in Asia foreigners are treated very nicely, when I had to break out laughing.

Oriental Asian countries do NOT treat foreigners very nicely.

However, that aside, where do you live that you meet that problem? We like Asians in California, they have a very strong education work ethic. UCLA is majority Asian for the first time this year, and the advanced classes my kids take have a lot of Asians in them.

Why you'd want to be liked by morons who have a problem with Asians is beyond me, but I think you are pinning the feeling of a few onto the majority.

Take the opportunity to talk to class mates about what it is like growing up where you came from. Everyone is interested in that sort of thing. Exotic.

I'm sorry that you've been treated this way. I've always thought that Americans admire Asians. I'm a white American and I certainly have respect for their culture and find them beautiful people. The only thing I can think of is they might feel intimidated. Some Asians seem a bit aloof to me, and it is probably just a cultural thing--Americans are a bit more gregarious than other cultures, so when we try to communicate with people from other countries or cultures they sometimes seem cold or standoffish because we aren't used to their way with people.

Answer 5

Whites and Blacks do like Asians but they think that Asians don't like them. Asians heard things about American Whites and Blacks and they can't forget those things.

Most Whites and Blacks think Asians are beautiful people with nice faces. They don't know why Asians don't like them. Go to White and Black Americans and tell them nice things and you will find out the truth-- that you are very well liked. But there are some bad Whites and Blacks so be careful because they would be bad to anyone, not just Asians.

Answer 6

Personally, I feel that those that judge someone because of their race without knowing that person are the ones that need to grow up and look at themselves in the mirror. To me those are the ones with the problems. I won't judge someone because of their race. Every race has there own unique culture, to those "Americans" that act the way that you say, need to quit watching the negative news reports and learn about your culture, then maybe someday they will understand. The Asian culture to me has always been intriguing. As for those that you feel are discriminating towards you, just remember they don't know you, so don't let it bother you....because if they did know you, they'd probably realize that they are wrong!!!!!!

Answer 7

I don't know anyone that has a problem with Asians. Maybe you are just shy and that is why people don't talk to you? Give us Americans a chance. We (as a general rule) are not bigots. Just dive in and make some friends. Any intelligent person would be glad to make a new friend from a different culture, so that they will learn new things and expand their horizons.

Answer 8

I hate people who hate interracial marriage. it is likewise why i are not getting alongside with fairly some my mom and dad' friends (all Asians). while they deliver about it up, I merely provide them a protracted, chilly stare. My mom and dad are cool with interracial marriage nevertheless (and that they the two have been born in Korea), even nevertheless they are actually not cool with me giving their friends the loss of life stare. the chums of my mom and dad i discussed probable does not approve of any of their little ones marrying a eastern individual the two, considering that they're Korean. after all, too many Asian mom and dad do in comparison to interracial marriage. additionally, slightly beside the point, yet why does each and every physique think of Korean adult males tend to be abusive or smitten by ability of administration? Do you recommend people who unquestionably, like, grew up over there? via fact i don't sense like that describes me in any respect.

Answer 9

As an American working and visiting in Shanghai and Beijing I can tell you that culture shock between our nationalities is real and can be quite disorienting. So, I can commiserate with you. Just hang in there though. We love you guys. You'll find your way with like minded individuals. Just smile, be friendly and initiate conversations when the opportunity presents itself. Everything will work out. You'll see. By the way, glad to have you here.

Answer 10

Americans, as a nation, are very fearful. Fearful people are prone to hate. There's a lot of hate in the U.S. right now, and, in the world. Keep your chin up, keep your spirits up, keep your good grades up. You'll find many Americans whom will love you and will become your friends. I worry about this, too, in my considerations of living in Thailand as an American. I wonder if the women in my new neighborhood there will let me be just like any Thai friend they have.
