Discrimination Against Chinese

[Etaf Evael]

I am a Chinese, and I am proud of it.
But I believe in the U.S. there are many discriminations against Chinese/Asians.

There were times I went into a store, people looked at me like I didn't belong there. In my past high school, there was a teacher said in China there were slave labors which I believe is a lie. Last year in my college, there was a student said many diseases are from Asians. This is not true because the black plague was from Europe. He also said that Chinese people always lie. But I believe he was lying.

Life in America is not easy for people from other countries. I came to the US when I was fifteen. My mother married to an American so I came to the US to live with my mother. But when I got here my English was really not good. I was afraid to talk. This was one of the reasons my stepfather did not like me. In China, when people eat food, they use chopsticks and they lower their head above the bowl to eat. It was hard for me to change when I just came to US, but my stepfather said I ate like a dog so he put the food on the ground and made me kneel on the ground and ate the food.

About a year later after a series of incidents, I changed my ways of eating. My stepfather saw my mother taking care of me and cooked for me, and he saw me eating, he was not happy about it even I sit up straight. Later on he took out all the food from the refrigerator and the house away from home so that I did not have any food to eat. My mother had to get leftover food from her workplace to secretly bring home for me to eat. He turned off the electricity in certain rooms including my room. He even stole my lunch money my church people gave me.

Some months later my mother and I moved out into one of my church people's house. The Common Wealth of Penn has proof of his abusing me. Right now I live along with my mother, with many more problems of course. But much better than the past.

I believe there will be many Chinese who will read this post, I also believe that they will know how I felt. I don't know if anyone in this guild has been discriminated against or abused. But feel free to talk about your feelings.

When Tosh went on her US trip, this shop guy looked at us differently.

talk2hand Damn Americans.

That's what my parents told me, 'cos I was in the couch since I was car sick... XD

But if I were there, I would've slapped him. =3=;;;

It looks like Canadians are used to use though. C:

Or maybe they know if they gave us a dirty look, the Chinese mafia will beat their arse. D:

**No relevance, but one of Tosh's friend's grandpa is in the Chinese mafia... So cool. gonk

Did the guy say anything or do anything? Maybe Canadians are better.
Plus the Chinese mafia is in southern China.

Not many people in Canada, well, where I am, likes Hongers/people born in China. Reason is because they don't like our english (they make fun of it), and we spend so much time on hair in the washrooms. XD Also, they think we're spoiled. -_-" But the asians born Canada and are quite white-wash, they have no problem with them.

Really?

Then it must be because Toronto is so Asian populated that no one really cares.

wow..that is really bad. im glad u got away from him.

i think its the same everywhere, like we all get discrimination just by the way we look or talk. we just hav to put up with it.
I was born in england and my parents are chinese but its still the same, i get racism and everythin U___U people in school used to pick on me alot because i was really shy and they didnt really know me, so they teased me because they knew i wouldnt do anything...

but now ive grown ^_^ i satand up for myself. i remember in my infants school there was this pakistani kid who was really racist to me, everytime he saw me he would call me a name. This one time my friends were fighting and then that guy jumped onto my bak so i grabbed him and pulled him off, then swung him into the wall ^___^ haha the teacher said he deserved it.

so yeh there are always people who discriminate but not all people. not just americans  

[` T a p i o c a `]

I just had my ex-friend being racist to me yesterday >.>

Calling me chopticks and ching chong chips. Made me wanna punch him right in the face...too bad I was in the reception room of my school and my best friend was there ready to hold me back >.>

Apparently even my best friend had been racist to chinese people in the past, making fun of em when she saw em saying ching chong or chinkies >.>

I hate racial discrimination D=<

I get the feeling that racism is much worse in American then in England >.>;;;

Nope. I meant is that they're Chinese, born in non-asian country, but like they don't act Chinese, they dress like gangsters and all white...no asian in their background, except for their parents. Also, they listen to english music, no Chinese or whatsoever. That's why I want go Hong Kong or Japan. ^_^Y  

[a polka dot]

Americans are ignorant retards. Everyone should know that. surprised

But seriously, I'm really sorry that happened to you. D:

I don't really get much discrimination. Possibly because there is a very small population of Chinese in my area, and plus nowadays the media's starting to stop stereotyping Asians like they used to. =D Although, here people think Asians are perfect at everything. D: But the people who grew up with the stereotypes will probably continue to follow the stereotypes.

(Ching chong and all that crap is apparently what ignorant non-Asian people, like Rosie O' Donnell, think Chinese sounds like. =/ And "c***k" was a racial slur for Chinese, or East Asians in general, but it's rarely used as a racial slur anymore.)
