The Student Room Group

Help! i think im racist!

This is gonna to sound silly, but i think i might be a racist! :frown:

I dont like being in the same room as blacks or asians especially if they outnumber me (im white), i really hate having to work with them when im at school or even sit next to them, and also if I see them on the news or tv generaly for long amounts of time i just wana turn it oveer. Even when im on a bus with them or smthing im sure they are givin me really nasty luks and i just dont like it.

ive only really bin noticing this in the last few months or smthing and im a bit worried cuz i duntl ike the feeling oviously. my parents have never really hidden there racism from me and they shout stuff about pakis when they driving and stuff.


erm so wat should i do about this? :frown:


an pls dont rip into me cuz i know its wrong and all that already! :frown:

Yeah, that sounds a bit like racism to me. My best advice would be to go and talk to some of the black and Asian people in your school and you may well find that you have no reason to feel the way you do.

It can become a subconscious thought if you've been brought up with it. Try to suppress it, it's really not healthy in today's society.
My best advise will be to go get your head kicked in!!!!!! Sorry, that was harsh i apologise, but l'm sorry to say but there is no justifications for your feelings... As Pin... said, you need to really try to get over these or you will find someone who really wants to kick your head in! l'm disabled so i won't be able to hurt you, so you're safe ATM :biggrin:
lol, you cant be in the same room with them, yet you want to change. Ummm why cant you be in the same room as them? They're just humans you know, they dont bite.

If you're in a wheelchair, you could always drive over him several times!
have you had a bad experience with these racial groups? Cos last year i was bullied at my old school with majority indians and for a while I thought all were evil. Then i moved school and met other nicer people and the feeling went away.

Like what Pineappolis said,you should try and talk to these asian people and get to know them, and I hope you'll realise that they are like us. They are humans after all lol! And you shouldn't really judge it on the colour of their skin. It's personality that matters, ok. Hope that helped you. :smile:

Yeah, the Asians might give you SARS. Watch out for em.

Sure people have racial cliques, but try to immerse yourself into the culture or whatnot. Try joining club or take a class about the history of other races. Also, if your parents are being racist, tell them to shut up? Or give them a nice slap on the face...that always works.

No, but try not to leave the room when they're with you, and be willing to be friends with them. Step in the right direction, at least.

It's not illegal to have racist/prejudice thoughts. There's no good reason for you to have them, but it's ok legally provided you don't act on them.

It sounds like fright more than anything... :confused: Why not talk to one person individually ? Sit next to a minority in class and gradually befriend him/her.
