I am from America and i am am studying here in the Philippines..I am Half white but i looks just white.
I don't know if it works the same way here..but in america You can SUE for racism or anything you feel that is wrong..
anyways in my college..you have to wear uniforms to class..which i ALWAYS do.But alot of local people wont wear there uniforms..
the last three times when i had NO classes..i just went to go pay for my tuition ..the SAME short lesbian butch guard will take my ID and bring me to the office and they give me a warning..even if i say i have no class..they will not listen and read me the RULEs of wearing your uniform to class..its like there not listening to me!
just yesterday i walked in with about 7 people with out uniforms just to see what would happen..and you guessed it..I was picked out of the crowd to be sent to the office and given a warning..MY classmates and friends NEVER get approched and the guard..and they will never say anything to them..

I know for sure it's racism because all the people i walk in with are my friends that are locals and i am white and they never get stopped or given warnings.
so far its been 3 months and i been given already close to 5 warnings!

Maybe you are in the wrong school...you should be in an international school instead....maybe you show a 'white' attitude to those around you....maybe onyl no offense meant
Your parents could have a talk with the school administration to sort things out.
Remember you are on someone else's land, they cant adapt to you and you have to make the effort the other way round... and a little respect goes two ways. ..for a long way

Welcome to The Philippines.
Yes, it's racism...but that's the way it is. You can complain all you like...but that's the way it is and that's the way it's going to remain.
Just comply with the rules or go home. You're going to be picked out of the crowd because you're different. Don't bother getting angry, you'll just make the others lose face - which will make it worse for you.
That's just the way it is :-)

Your friends? So are they your "classmates" too? Maybe they belong to a different college than yours so they don't have to wear uniforms. Some universities are like that, they have different set of rules depending on the course or college.
Anyway, I'm not so familiar with laws about foreign relations. But that issue is quite unpopular here in our country. We are very accepting people and seldom insinuate racial issues. We are actually the ones who experience that abroad.
.. o O O (thinking about it, I actually think it's about time we reciprocate racial discrimination from other countries... just a personal opinion)

Report that to school administration. It won't cost you a single cent. Going to court is much more expensive. (^_^)
