I'm being judged because of my racial background.

<p>Wow, people on here can be real ******s. Which college is #4 in America is dead serious business to them, but real issues are jokes. </p>

<p>Anyway, I don’t know how much help I am going to be here. I am a white Jewish girl, and while I know anti-Jewish sentiment exists some places, I have rarely encountered it at home in L.A. So I really can’t claim to understand the pain that you feel.</p>

<p>However, the best advice I can give you is that you need to be sure you are finding friends who like you for who you are and not what race you are (or aren’t). If the Black or Hispanic kids accepted you, would you be happy knowing they only liked you because you were Black/Hispanic? It is really painful to come to the conclusion that sometimes people just can’t accept you for who you are, but you have to remember that the problem is with them and not with you. You are what you are - and there is no logical reason to have excessive pride or shame in something that is beyond your control. Sorry, that’s the best advice I can give. :(</p>

<p>Also, I’m not sure what year you are in, but in college - if you pick the right one - you will most likely find that people tend to be much more intellectual and tolerant regarding racial issues.</p>
