And it isn't just Willbean. An asian person like myself...
My experience at University has had it's moments of racism too but I expected to happen, just not as intense or as much as I had predicted, I think.
My first year at my university was my dream come true and came even more true when the racism began. All incidents below are caused by Caucasian people specifically white people.
1) I was coming back to my campus block when these guys in their group was still freshers together, first week or so, immediately they saw me and instantaneously laughed in their circle, my ears had heard the tallest one saying this guy looks like a 29 yr old asian technician, because I wore glasses. Then he said something like what the **** is a 29 yr old doing in our block ...wtf is going on. No one did anything, even though there was a bunch of other people their too.
2) I came back late from a solitary dinner and when I went back to my door I can hear the girls upstairs checking and listening intently to who came inside as they were probably waiting for some other guy to have fun with or something. I heard one say something like, It's just the asian, Its not (whatever his name is). They didn't even say its the wrong guy.
3) Two girls were backchatting behind me as I was on my computer in the library,they were boy chatting and unfortunately being close to them, I came up as the subject. One girl said what about this guy, to which the other girl said... mmh.. but he is chinese though, eurgh.. you like chinese guys?
I am not even chinese.
4) Two girls were walking from the other end of the campus place, I overheard saying, look at that guy (me) he looks nice, to which the other girl replied, yeh, but he is not English. He is asian, he is boring, I like English guys.
For those asian readers don't take this to heart, this experience applies to myself and only myself - it doesn't mean it will happen to you so don't get all hopeless.
