I Believe We Are All Different

I was born in Australia. I am mentally and physically influence by my teachers and everything in this lovely country. All my idols & role models are Australian, Caucasian, Mix-race and African. My first best friend was an Australian blonde. I never had issues with her. I will always remember our laughs together and our good times. We are still on good terms.

I started to be close with Asian Australians more in high school. We get along, but the truth was we were never truly Asian Asian. On the inside we are Australian, Caucasian, Mix-race or African. We are not those Asian Asian (Asians borned and raised in Asian countries. Excluding Colombia and Philippine, I get along with them).

Most of my Asian Australians Friends are Caucasians, Aussies or African on the inside. They all have Australians, Africans, Mix-races or Caucasians boyfriends. My hilarious Asian Australians are African influenced. They are not Asian Asian at all. Asian Asian and Asian Australians are completely different in virtues and lifestyles. We do not hang out with each others. We do our best to mind out own businesses because we do not need drama, but we do not get along.

I get along with Asian people born in Asian countries if they have Australians, Caucasians, and civilised morals. I never hang out with Asian Asian in my high school. This is not on purpose. We do not connect or click. We are different. I do not get along with them. I never harm them. Since we are incompatible, it is best to stay away from each others to prevent issues. I can not help, but noticing how I get along with Asian Australians, Australians, Caucasian, Mix-race and African the most. I connect better with them. We have more in common. I never had issues with them. Right now my favourite friend is Asian Australian and she has a Caucasian boyfriend. She is Caucation on the inside. My other favourite friend is an Australian brunette.

Black Star & I are look Asian, yet we are 100% Australians on the inside. Our styles are sometimes influence by everything, but we do not get along with Asian Asian people(people borned and raised in Asian countries with traditional Asian Asian’s morals and beliefs). I do not want to be rude. I want to be honest. Honesty is good. I do not hate them. I am uninterested in them. We are incompatible.

Black star & I honestly love Australians, Caucasians, Mix-race, Asian Australians, and Africans most. I cannot help it. This is who I am. Thank you for understanding.

Is there a particular reason for that? I was born in the United States and grew up here. But the only time where I disliked Asian born Asians like you was when I was a young teenager and wanted acknowledgement from my white friends and peers because that was the environment I grew up in. “Caucasian in the inside” is only a term coined for self hating individuals that refuse to accept who they are, no offense to you or your friends. Wishing to be another race is different than growing up in a different culture than your appearance. I grew out of the same way you’re thinking by the time I reached 16 years old when I realized going out of my way to only date Caucasian girls and only have Caucasian or other self hating asian friends was self destructive and I became happier once I embraced my asian culture and traditions along with being able to retain the western culture and environment I grew up in. I’m an Asian-American. Not a “Caucasian on the inside” that has asian features.

@Married yeah I don’t buy it haha...I’m not judging you at all. I’m just curious and am asking questions. All I did was say I had similar experiences growing up with only white people , or Caucasians as you like to put it , in terms of environment and influences and was able to balance my asian heritage and western upbringing. Yeah it’s cool that you say you respect all different cultures and stuff but why do you go out of your way to avoid any interaction with other Asians, especially those who grew up in asian communities and households? On face value, one could believe your claim that conflicts of “cultural differences” prevents you from interacting with them but humans aren’t that different. Just because I don’t agree with historical customs or cultures of other groups doesn’t mean I’m going to reject them completely which is what you’re essentially doing. “Separate but equal” is not a way to live no matter how self righteous and respectful you try to sound. Especially when you’re rejecting your own self and projected that into looking down on others that look like you because you want to fit in so bad with the environment you grew up in.

But You’re right, I don’t know you at all and don’t know how things are in Australia I guess. If self hate through self righteousness makes you happy, then go for it. Like you said, “What makes you happy can be suicidal to me”....and I feel the same way 👍

@Insomniac100 I have always been loved all my life. I am sorry if you feel self-hated or unloved in your life, but I am never you.

You should never judge and familiarise anyone by their race. Race never defines who the person is on the inside. You and I are both Asian, yet you and I are utterly different on the inside. You and I are incompatible. This dispute alone is evidence. You and I have different life-experiences, beliefs, values, morals, lifestyles, and everything.

I am only being mature. There is no point in associating with anyone when conflicts only arise. That is no progress in life. I am never forcing you to live any certain lifestyles. I hope you can respect my personal lifestyles and decisions. I am not accusing, judging, degrading or insulting you. I am not rejecting anyone. I am not looking down on anyone. I am only honest and true to myself. I never feel the need to go out of my way to please anyone and I know better. I am already loved. I am not you. It is not my fault you do not fit in and I never feel unloved in my life. You need to stop thinking you and I go through the same life experiences. You and I have different mindsets. You and I are completely different. You need to search up the meaning of self-righteous. Self-hating can never be self-righteous. It is not my fault you cannot accept some facts.

Once again, I am not you. I never hated myself. I never felt the need to fit in like you. I know being different is lovely too. Whatever you are trying to accuse me of something i am not by reflecting upon your own personal life experience and beliefs to justify your accusations are irrelevant to me. I am never you. You and I are completely different.

You and I are different beyond compatibility and comparison. You need to understand this. You need to stop comparing you and I. Whatever happened to you at any times in your life are unconnected, unrelated and irrelevant to me. You and I different people. Race never define who the person is on the inside. You should never judged a book by its cover. You and I look Asian, but it does not mean we go through the same or similar experiences in life. You and I are beyond different. I do hope you find peace and happiness in your life now or in the near future.

Stereotype needs to stop.

You are right. Stereotypes must stop. Racism must stop. Under our skins we are all the same.
Sadly Australians can`t play rugby! 😉@Married

How often did you attend school...?

People are per, it should not matter what their ethnicity is or what their hair colour is

Of course, I honestly do not get along with their personalities, lifestyles, and morals @InOtterWords. It is never about their looks. I do respect their personal lifestyles and morals though because I understand we all different. I only stay away from them to avoid issues.
