I am a white american girl who was racially and culturally (verbally) abused by several people from the Korean and Chinese cultures for six and a half years of my early adulthood for being white, although being raised very culturally and racially accepting (this is why the abuse confused me and hurt me a great deal), and I'm just wondering how I can stop being angry and move on with my life. The things that were always said to me or the actions that were always done to me were away from someone of my own culture, so when I'd go to talk to someone from my culture, they had no idea that this obnoxious abuse was occuring, and they didn't know what to really say about it. It's been very hard for me to relate with these cultures, because I saw too much and had too much happen to me that I almost feel like I'm not part of my own culture anymore (the acceptance of other cultures), because I'll try to tell someone what really happens or can happen, and I'll sound wierd or censor things.

I completely understand how you feel.... I myself have been judged because I am white.... I have always been good to everyone no matter what their skin color is.... the color of the skin means nothing... you have to learn how to control that anger. but the anger isn't necessarily a bad thing ... if you know how to control it.... you can use that anger to protect yourself... it gives you that extra courage and strength to fight back when you actually get attacked physically.... I've never had problems with koreans or Chinese... but I can understand how you feel ..... my problems have been with African Americans... don't give up your morals because of them.... they'll all kill themselves off anyways and then we won't have to worry about it..

Whenever one race has an overwhelmingly large majority, the minorities feel the brunt of racism. An Asian girl in a mostly white environment will recieve the same treatment. To move on with your life, I recommend reading about Korean and Chinese cultures. Once you know a culture's background, you are less likely to hate this culture. Also realize that you haven't met every Chinese or Korean person in the world, and these make only a small percentage. There are jerks in every race, so just brush these off the way you brush off white jerks. Become active in groups fighting reverse racism, and be careful not to become racist yourself. Hope this helped!

white people politically and economically, in a general manner of speaking, are empowered, so it is hard to complain about being white or even taking abuse for being white. white people in a discriminatory sense face little more than name calling, hardly ever losing out on things like work, loans, etc. i would try to forget it all and realize that things aren't that bad for you... and no two people get to tag themselves 100% to common culture in the US... not even if there both chinese!

Hon, I'd ask this in one of the "Cultural" categories. I really don't know what your question has to do with the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered" category.
Although I wish you well and I might suggest a bit of anger management and even abuse therapy.

definite, all of them "want" variety education. finished BS. human beings purely want to end committing crimes! Then they gained't be arrested! With each and each of the classes given to the human beings on the prompt, crime isn't mandatory. purely get into between the classes. Oops, I straight forward forgot each and each of the druggies that purely must have their fix so as that they turn to crime. perhaps that is time to legalize drugs. yet wager what, in places that drugs like MJ are criminal, they nonetheless have against the law difficulty because the druggies nonetheless rob & scouse borrow to help their threat free habit.

Hey don't worry about it you are white, society is on your side. Just think if you were lower on the social ladder like a latino or black
