I find, over here in England, that isn't much descrimination against Chinese and fellow Eastern Asian people. Of course, there's the odd racist remark, especially from particular idiots, when you are out on the streets. Some bullies at school may target you. But it's never been very serious, I don't think. It's inevitable that we are targetted for our appearance and race in a country where the race is predominantly white. Generally though, England is a multicultural society. I find I fit in well enough, though not as much as I would have hoped. I have this feeling of being pulled between both societies and cultures. I was born here in England, and have, for nearly all sixteen years of my life, been living here. I feel, on the whole, English - white - but at the same time, I feel Chinese due to heritage, culture and language. That's my main problem with living here in England; the problem does not lie in the people surrounding me, but in myself.
I am accepted completely into the community I live in right now. When I was younger, I went to a state school, and the education there was not very good. There were lots of... "uneducated" type of guys, who bullied you and stuff, but it was never excessive. I barely noticed it, in all honesty. I now go to a private school, and there's literally no discrimination there. On the streets, I do not get weird looks and stuff. People see me and think I'm part of the community (or I hope they do anyway). I'm treated as myself, and I couldn't imagine it being otherwise. I've never visited America, but I never realised the racism against the Chinese were so bad. I'm under the impression that most of America is made up of white people, then black. Maybe perhaps because there are not a lot of Chinese people there creates the racism against us...? There are a sizeable amount of Chinese people over here, and the Chinese culture is widely embraced. Chinese cuisine is popular, and China Town is a thriving place. Chinese schools are open every Sunday, and I go there to teach younger children. I think Canada is more welcoming of the Chinese because I've heard from my parents that there are a lot of Chinese people living there. It has become normal to have such a mixed community, like it is over here.
I'm not saying that there isn't any racism at all over here. There is, especially targetted at Western Asian and Indian people, and I don't think the terrorism stuff is helping at all. But we get on with our lives, and generally, it is very harmonious.

well i dont think american are racist towards chinese ive been there and was treated normaly, actually there where times where somebody tought that i was mexican
A lot of Americans can't tell if you're Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. I wonder if it's just because I'm Asian I can tell the difference between them? Because I can't tell the differnet between Scottish and Slovokian and Danish or other countries.
I'm Chinese by the way.
