I Am An Asian

I am an Asian. I came to the US for my higher education. During these years, people have usually looked at me with curiosity because I am short, brown eyes, yellow skin, and long hair. Some classmates are eager to help me while the others do not talk with me no matter how hard I tried. My friend has recently asked me why Asians were so cheap to be used as jokes from daily life to tv shows. I have watched those shows but it does not mean that is how we are. Those shows are for laughing from imaginary stories but many Americans forget this main point. I think that many Americans are too weak to learn about the others so they prefer ignoring and laughing.

@SW-User If you live here, you will understand how Asians feel, Yiskah. Maybe as an Indian, you will easily find an Indian group to join and feel comfortable. Many Asians join into those groups, so they lose their confident when they are in white American group. It is not only about paying attention to what we are doing, but we also have to learn about the others to raise our voices for their wrong assumptions about us as well as correct our wrong assumptions for other races.

There are many races in the US and racism still exists. I am sorry for making you feel negative, but sometimes we have to face the truth and find solutions. I know this can be a big truth. You should watch some American TV shows. Asians are usually roles who make the most weird things for people to laugh at.
