why do people think it is ok to make fun of Asians?

Question

I am an Asian person, when i was little I was targeted. I was the only Asian. how do u stop that from happening? teachers would play along too. HELP

Answer 1

I know it is too bad. I am Asian as well and same thing has happened to me as well.
In year 7 I went to secondry school in the UK and my bad luck was I was the only Asian in the school. I got bullied and even though I told the teachers, the teachers were more racist than the kids. But then I went to another school and everything changed. But they did still make fun of us.

Answer 2

Bad teachers imo. Should stand up for yourself. If someone makes fun of asian people or you just tell them "I am -whatever 'branch' of asian you fit in to- and I don't appriciate your comments.

Im not Asian but what I see a lot is because referring to anyone of Asian decent as Chinese or Japanese even tho there are more Asian countries than that and their histories are much different and they usually even look different.

People just dont encounter differences that much and dont handle them well.

Answer 3

I don't think its fun to make fun of anyone at all, no matter what race or where they grew up. People are always trying to put down other races, just so they can say they are better (they think it). It might possibly that you or your parents or your race was seen as a threat.
Just because your different is more than likely why they did that. If I were you, use that as something to better yourself, so you don't stoop to their level (immature and uneducated). You just keep going head strong and in the end, things will work out for you. You'll eventually look back and say your better than them. There are others similarly situated and you should show them that you are above all the b.s. Your better than that girl!!!

Answer 4

Hi, I am not Asian but I think it is very wrong to target anybody. I got nailed because I have curly hair--the white kids called me a n***er--rich white Republican kids. They made me hate school. How do you stop it? You can't. Just tough it out. It will be different in college, the a**holes don't seem to get admitted there, or if they are, they are smart enough to cool that ****.

Answer 5

I'm sorry to hear that you've been mistreated. I was the only Irish kid growing up in an Italian neighborhood. Even the teachers and the adults of the community would mistreat me. One thing you should do is to understand that if you let people do that, then they'll keep doing it. Make sure when people treat you like that you will not allow anyone to walk all over you.

Answer 6

that's terrible. no one deserves that.

i have no idea why people think they can make fun of Asians. My school is about one-third Filipino and there is racial discrimination, but that's between all the groups (a third black, a third hispanic, a third Asian, and not that many whites but they are discriminated too). I think maybe Chinese kids get teased more than southeast Asians, in my experience. No idea why but it just seems that way.

Answer 7

Its not just u it happens 2 every race. But that's kinda mean if the teacher would play along 2! Maybe u should make fun of them.

Answer 8

Remember, your not the only one, a white kid would probably get picked on very easily in an asian school...guaranteed.

Answer 9

well people make fun of other people because they usually dont know about the other person and their culture. i am black and i used to makefun of asians, but now i am married to a half black half vietnamese man and now i understand most of the asian culture and i no longer make fun of them.

Answer 10

Life sucks, humans are butt holes. Hate to tell you that, but I'm a white male and I got made fun of by black people because I went to a primarily black school. It doesn't matter what race you are...it matters how crappy everyone else is.
