Open Question: Are my friends racist?
They keep moaning about how chinese people hang out together, are so loud, and take up all the room on buses. They say they are annoying and irritate them. My friends make faces of disgust when they see them.
They wouldn’t dare say this about a black person or an indian. So why is it acceptable here? It’s really bothering me, but i don’t want to say anything in case they turn on me. I’m just wondering if they realize how offensive they sound.
We’ve just gone to college alot of chinese exchange students attend. There were no chinese people at our previous school. So i guess it may have been a shock for them. Whereas i have grown up in quite a diverse environment. Mum’s white, Dad’s black, Mums best friend is pakistani and, where i lived was close to a university, so alot of the houses were let out to chinese people.
I’m just really angry at my friends, but i’m trying to stay calm. The first few times i ignored them, but they keep acting like this and, its making me frustrated. Is there a way i can calmly mention how stupid/racist they sound?
