firstly, are you sure you're not one of those girls? Don't take offense, im not trying to insult you. It's just that you referred to her as 'some asian girl'. If you feel bad about her being ignored, that's a good thing. it means you have a heart. but just think about how she must be feeling. Try talking to her, be nice to her. Mind u, i'm not saying to be nice out of pity. but if you never try speaking to her, you may never know what sort of a friend you're missing out on.\nAt my school, we had a lot of international students from the asian region. They could all speak english pretty well, but they tended to keep to themselves. But i still spoke to some of them and some of them ended up becoming quite good friends of mine. Don't be afraid to break through the barriers. loneliness is one of the saddest things a person has to face. There is too much going on in this world for us to tolerate racism. It's when we allow racism to succeed that we get events like the Holocaust, and the Stallinist purges.\nReach out to her. She's human too, and for all you know, friendship from you could be just what she needs. Never underestimate the need for friendship. Don't worry about what other people think of you if you do this. Being nice to someone has its own rewards, and it's the right thing to do.

My son is interracial and he is the most beautiful male I have ever seen. Not just Mama bias, either...strangers remark on how handsome he is. I think it's something to do with getting the best of both races. Whatever it is, I have seen very few (maybe 2) 'mixed' people that I would say are unattractive.

it depends on the person. you have to look at their family backround. they can b abused or hurtr by past people, so that can effect their esteem, they could be bullied. on the other hand, they can hav high esteem because theirfamily loved them or they were getting good grades in school. it all depends.

Yes, I have been bullied off and on through my years of schooling. It makes me feel realy bad when someone talks bad about me. Especially when it's someone that you're related to or good friends with. I never bully anyone because I know how it feels to be bullied.

Picked on.\nIt got to where I never took the direct way home.  I think I was more familiar with the local alleys than the garbagemen were.  I was an olive-skinned child in a fair-skinned school.  I wasn't pretty or socially adept.  I got beat up by ignorant bullies for being...take your choice...Black, Mexican, Jewish, Gypsy, Italian.  I was called every racial epithet you can think of.  Whatever they didn't like, that's what I looked like to them.  By the way, I am of Slovak, Bohemian, Polish descent.\nI sure learned the value of racial tolerance.

Oooh... it's nice to know that some people actually want to be Asian. I always thought that Asian people would be treated unequally by some people because of their skin color (heck, I've run into some racists when I was on a trip to Australia) but it sure makes my day when somebody says that they would want to be an Asian. \n\nSuddenly, I'm so glad that I'm an Asian... I always thought that being caucasian was to be a fairer but I never thought that being an Asian is to be sexy...\n\nYou just made my day! Thanks! =p

Speaking as a bully I look for victims that lack social support and respect from their peers.  There can be a physical difference like glasses or body fat but mostly the person that others already mock or make fun of is a good target.  The satisfaction that I get comes from showing others how I am not anything like the person I am picking on which really isn't true.  Which leads into your second question are they really that different from us my answer would have to be no because bullies and victims really are looking for the same thing which is a relationship with other people and acceptance for being who we are.  My advice to victims of bullies is change the terms around and ask the bully in front of his peers what satisfaction he gets from picking on them.  This will for the most part make some of the group turn on the bully and they will realize that maybe it isn't all that funny after all.

Oh, yes. Why are some people so hung up on a person's race? I'm more concerned about morals and personality than I am about race. Some people just need to grow up and get educated.

You speak of them as if they're another species. Yes, I've seen a PERSON of mixed Asian and black heritage. What's your point?

The worst...when people come up to me and say, "Do you know karate?"  That's just stereotypical talk.  I'm Asian, but it doesn't mean I'm Chinese or Japanese.

Well, I am neither bi-racial or multiracial, but I notice being white I still face discrimination sometimes.  Some people automatically assume I am racist, even though I am so far from it.  For example, the other day at work a Hispanic couple (their race doesn't matter to me, but it illustrates the point) came up to pay for their dinner with a credit card.  Our policy is that we ask everyone for I.D. when they are paying with a card.  It's for their protection, but also because we have seen cases of fraud.  Anyhow, he seemed a little irritated, but he showed me, finished the bill and left.  About 20 minutes later his wife called and spoke to my manager and said that I was being racist asking for I.D. because they were Hispanic.  My manager explained that asking for I.D. is a company policy and that I was only doing what I was told.  She told them next time they came in that they would receive a free dinner.  However, when she hung up, she came and told me she had watched me when they were paying and that I had done absolutely nothing wrong, and that if those people ever came in again to let her know so that she would ask them to leave.  It kinda bothered me because I know I am not racist in the slightest, but I just laughed it off because I knew it was their ignorance and not mine.  Gosh, sorry for making this so long.

I am white. I have an equal amount of friends that are black and Mexican. I was racist though at about 15. It was a very determined wonderful strong minded black woman who brought me out of it. I was like that because people of other races besides yours ARE somewhat different. It was hard for me to understand and at that age my family, my mentors, told me this is how you should be and I believed that. There is racism of every color and it is all a matter of ignorance. What needs to be understood is that it is our differences that make us special and wonderful and should be celebrated, not hated.

I hope the boy will be OK and not too badly frightened. \nViolence of any sort is evil but especially against children. I've had more black/asian friends attack physically and verbally by white thugs than vice versa. \nStevie B is the kind of bigot who believes that violence from some Asians against whites justifies this sort of behaviour. She hasn't even read your question properly.

Never have I experienced racism and have been with many different cultures.  I am physically challenged and I believe that this helps people of various colours to identify with me and vice versa.  Sad part is that I have never experienced any feelings of being a little different from any of those of different races but have felt the experience of prejudice and/or fear from people of the while race from being physically different from them

the same reason that some white, asian, chinese, jewish, mexican, puertorican, russian, ect. people act like porch monkeys, make a spectacle of themselves and irritate other people.  they either want attention, are "special", or are just immature.  a person will act a "jackass" regardless of their race, color or ethnicity.  think!!!!

I have yet to find one race that excepts everyone no matter what color they are. I've had racial slang thrown at me by Hispanics, and Blacks. Racism isn't just practiced by white people.
