<p>I am a Chinese American girl who has to deal with racist comments by a group of other girls, who believe Japanese people are retarded. They treat me as a primitive creature who doesn't know anything but making kungpow chicken and sumo wrestling. They also believe that pens and paper are completely foreign to me, and I'm too stupid to figure out how to use them. The girls actually know that I'm taking all of the available AP classes in school, but they said I allowed myself to be a Japanese sex slave for the school administrators in order to take those classes, which I find extremely insulting. I thought I could ignore them, but their comments always stay in my head to haunt me. I'm not a genius or anything, but I think I can be as intelligent as any person in America.</p>
<p>don’t think i’m stalking, i’m just really good at finding out info (:</p>
<p>she goes to a private school in MA. i don’t think the comments are so much racist as they are mean-spirited. they’re just using your race against you, which is equally unacceptable. does the admin staff KNOW about this? those insults are extremely offending and blindsighted, if they were intelligent to enough to be in a private school then they should act their ****ing age.</p>
<p>The private schools in my area are homogeneous with perhaps about 99% of the population being white. I can see where they would get their racist comments if they weren’t exposed to people of different races, but for someone to be that horrid, they’re either still living under Confederate ideals, or they’re being mean. In this case, it’s probably mean and I agree with PlattsburgLoser’s advice.</p>
<p>I think you shouldn’t just ignore them. It’s crossed the line from just mean teenage girls who may cause you to be upset a great deal of the time to a point where it could end up bothering you the rest of your life subconsciously. You really need to talk to a trusted friend about your feelings (if possible) and tell a trusted parent, adult, teacher, or administrator about what these girls are doing. I think you should tell a teacher but express a concern that you don’t want to be a tattle-tale (which I assume you don’t want to be because you haven’t done anything yet) but that you really want it to stop and you have been trying to cope with it for a while now.</p>
<p>I am so sorry. That is just so wrong. I especially don’t get the Japanese stuff if your Chinese-- that just shows how ignorant those people are. Most likely they won’t go far in life because nobody wants to be around that.</p>
<p>Are you serious? I can’t believe it. If they said that to you, then you should definately go to the school board- forget the proffesors, go directly to the top, and tell them what they said about you, especially about the part where they thing you’re sleeping with the board to get into AP classes. This is outrageous. They should be expelled. Comments like that should not be tolerated. </p>
<p>And I’m sorry about that. You really don’t deserve to be treated like that at ALL. :(</p>
<p>I just wanted to type out my feelings freely without anyone knowing who I am. I will be a senior this fall, so I don’t think this is such a big deal because it’s only one more year.</p>
<p>And yes, the private school I attend is 95-97% white although I’m not sure if that has any effect.</p>
<p>Wow lol, someone would’ve died if I was ever spoken to like that.</p>
<p>Take it up with your parents, who should take it up with your school’s administration. I’d do everything I could to get those people expelled.</p>
<p>In the meantime, just ignore them. Once you’ve taken the aforementioned action, it’s best not to let yourself get carried away and do something stupid.</p>
<p>My cousin (straight from Vietnam and doesnt English) is placed into my advanced math class. He always gets he highest grades and praise from the teacher. These ignorant girls decide to play the race card, saying it’s only because he’s Chinese. These girls and the ones your dealing are completely narrow-minded and immature. You’re situation is much worse. Normally I’d ignore but calling someone a Japanese sex slave and saying the only reason why they have a good grade is because they slept with the teachers is going too far. I’d take matters into my own hands but I think you should report this in writing to the principal. That ought to put them in their place.</p>
<p>hmmm I’ll add my racist rant to this too. Sorry if its not helpful but I needa vent to lol</p>
<p>About five months back, a bunch of little kids (guessing around 11-13 years old?) wrote some offensive things on the street right in front of my house. Can’t recall all of it but it went along the lines of “dirty *<strong><em>ty indian,” “ape family”, and “go back home”. The whole “get outta my country” thing was a pretty reoccuring theme. When my parents moved into this middle class suberbia from Queens, they regularly had people throw crosses on their lawn, break car windows (odd given that it only happened to our cars and no one elses), and burn our tree (cops didn’t even give a *</em></strong>…) Anyways, now I’ve been way more aggresive about this **** and have sorta ended all this BS. Although, I still do get those casual racist questions in school (Does your family wear turbans or have red dots on their foreheads or Do you only eat curry?) <em>sigh</em>…</p>
<p>What, i’m pretty sure the asian stereotype is about having a higher intellect. They’re just trying to bring down your self-esteem because they know you’re better.</p>
<p>I would report the verbal abuse to your principal because they’re clearly being malicious. I feel some pity for them though. They know you’re inherently better and there’s nothing they can do… </p>
<p>honestly, I think it’s more indirectly malicious in my opinion that you helped damage their future from your success in school that you were born into. They’re never going to be able to achieve what they want because someone else who was luckier will take it. Capitalist society i’m guessing. You don’t have to worry about their comments because your life will probably be better then theirs. Be happy with what you are born with.</p>
