You really should talk to your school counselor about these issues.

well from what you said I think that your whole adoptive family is racist, and how in the world they ever was able to adopt you without those issues coming out is beyond me. Being 13 I know it has got to be hard to be different from the people who are suppose to be family.
Is there a counslor at your school? If so talk to them, explain how you feel and what is going on at home ask for intervention at home,If your family attends church go to your priest/preacher/pastor and see if you can get some help there.
There is no reason that these morons that call you family should be putting down your ancestry and not expect you to resent it and have some bad feelings. Sounds to me like the family could use some family counseling and maybe learn to be more tolerant of outher cultures and beliefs.

So, I'd have to ask you what motivated your adoptive parents to adopt you into their family in the first place?
First, accept that your adoptive sisters have no relevance in your current situation. Sadly, they don't sound like particularly kind, or intelligent teenagers, but they are not your problem.
The buck starts and stops with your parents.
Back to my question. It seems illogical, to me, that two adults who appear to tolerate racism in their own home, from their biological children toward their adoptive child, would have the courage to choose to adopt a child of color in the first place.
I agree that the most important thing you can do is take your parents aside and ask them simply why they chose you to adopt? And, it's perfectly ok for you to expect a straight answer from them. Keep the conversation calm, but keep asking for a clear and true reason why they chose you to become their child.
This isn't a Cinderella story. You have the right to speak up for yourself. No matter what your parents say, stay focused on who you are--a child of color but a child. Period. You have a long, full life ahead of you and you can choose to keep your adoptive family or leave them behind. Just commit to not being a victim. No matter how you're treated, you can still be you--wonderful, kind, smart, full of life and all that will benefit you in the life you choose to live when you leave home.
I wish you luck and courage.

Sweetheart what you're going through is really horrible right now...but there's not a lot that can be done I'm afraid...yes you could report all this to someone in authority but then you could get removed from your family & end up in a place far worse than this.
I had an equally [albeit different] awful up-bringing, but trust me it doe's come to an end & you'll soon enough be old enough to move out...your "sisters" sound like jealous little bit*hes & your parents...well...I only have one side of the story so it's wiser I don't say any more.
Just keep holding on...you sound pretty strong to me..sorry Babe, but you'll come through this....you need to go for help like at school & speak to someone you can trust....

My goodness.
How long until you are old enough to move out?
Go to college away from home, in a large city where people are more used to ethnic diversity. You just need to be around much more accepting people and get away from that toxic environment - and never go back!
