I hate my race, can you please help?

Home More advice General Knowledge

okay, so I'm Chinese, and I'm kind of ashamed of admitting this; but I really hate my race. I'd always wish I'm some other race...ANY race. just not asian. this chick came up to me today (god, this was so random) and she was like "hey you look really asian"

and that ruined my WHOLE DAY.

part of why I hate it is that everyone assumes I have a certain personality...you know what I mean? like I MUST love anime or else. and quite honestly, I hate the whole asian trend...the whole pretending to be 5 years old and doing puppy faces for the camera with retarted pink backgrounds. I also really hate asians who try to be "gangster", god that is just so annoying. and the goth asians too. and the super slutty ones...and the nerdy ones...so basically all of them.

and plus, everyone expects asians to be really smart, and so when I get like an A on a test, I'd be happy because I worked so hard, but then people would be like "well duh, you're asian". well they don't say it, but everyone thinks that. and they don't realize that we're not genetically programmed to be smarter than them, we just work harder.

plus I really hate looking asian. (I'm not that asian looking though, I'm really tall, and don't have chinky eyes, and some people don't even know my race sometimes...and I was like so proud of myself when people thought I was mexican)

but anyway...it's just so hard to like myself because I hate my race.

I didn't mean to be racist with this post...it's just that I really need help getting over this and being ok with myself.
