Hello.
I'm a typical Asian 14 year old, I have the typical Asian family, brothers, sisters and parents who are really strict and want me to get good grades don't really like it when i go outside and are really protective over me. I also have Asian friends but some of them well you know, "Racist". When i hang out with a different race they ask me "Why do you hang out with them?, Your Asian so you should hang out with Asians." It makes me stay up late some nights thinking "What is so wrong with other race people" It sometimes even makes me think "Am i not superior enough to hang out with other kind of races?"
Then if i keep hanging out with different kinds of all of people start talking smack about me and call me a "Twinky" because apparently "Asians are suppose to hang out with asians" and that to makes me stay up late and just causes me to think and think till i eventually go crazy. It's still summer break and when school was out i was kind of happy, But now in about couple weeks school is about to start again and i need a way to avoid this. "Ignoring" this kind of things can't really help me cause if i hear it i will keep on thinking about it making me worry and not fall asleep therefore making me tired at school.
I have some great friends that are Asian and don't really care if i hang out with other kinds of race but some that do care but i even have some greater friends who aren't Asian but i don't see them most of the day now seeing as its Junior high. I just can't ignore the people who are racist as they are good friends too.
So please give me some advice
