I really hope you realise idiots like that are in the minority. Most people would never be so idiotically offensive. Sorry about your experience :hugs:

It happens, and it always will, you're just going to have to get used to it. God knows how much racist abuse I've gotten over the years. It's just down to ignorance, the best thing to do is ignore them and move on.

Whenever I get it now, I either go along with it and like go WAHEY! or "Excuse me mate, we speak English here, not moonspeak" which they usually find somewhat embarrassing since they aren't getting the reaction they want, ignore them and carry on with my life, or in one case when I was in a bad mood, threatened to beat the **** out of this guy, which resulted in the fella doing one.

The thing is, it usually happens when you're either by yourself or with another ethnic. If you're in a group larger than two, it'll never happen.

It isn't always teenagers, you get some adults who are like that too.

LOL, nice one Highlander :smile:

Also, in my little circle of friends, I'm usually the one dishing out the racist comments, but only with close friends who actually understand.
I'm a chinese teenager living a london and there are many people who just call me chink because they can. This usually leads to bad consequences for them though, becuase my friends are usually with me :p:

I just try to ignore it, unless I'm provoked physically, then that's a different case altogether.

Just ignore them pricks. :smile:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chink#Etymology_and_history possibly?

I always thought it was just a term that people got from China, kinda like "Paki" from Pakistan.

its cruel but i heard that it was because the CH comes from CHinese and the INK comes from their skin because it has been covered in ink (coloured)! i think there should be jail sentenances for racism and not enough action is being taken!
And not a reference to stereotypical Eastern eyes...?

To be fair, I'm entirely sure that were I, a stereotypical white person, to walk down a street in China I would probably get abuse, being in a minority. Not that I could understand it, mind, but people will always pick on minorities- especially teenagers and the more het up members of society. I'm not saying that it's excusable, I am saying that it probably happens anywhere and everywhere.

Actually, from what I understand reading about English people living in China on gap years (I'm looking into going there on mine) people are usually excited to see a Westerner, rather than racially violent.

People in this country are too overcrowded, and as such it makes some lash out at minorities. It is disgusting, and you shouldn't let it bother you. Feel safe in the knowledge that most of these idiots will fail to get anything like a good job, and that you are a better person than they are.
