why is it being different is so hard for americans to understand???

I'm Chinese and live in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood for almost 4 years. While i have friends that are hispanic, it seems like for many of my neighbors, its hard for them to accept me as chinese. Sometimes, they say "hey chino", parents don't seem to mind that their kids are being ignorant of others, people make jokes about asians when i walk by. so why is it so hard for them to accept me as a different race without being ridiculed or thinking they are superior to asians? What if I explode one day and seriously hurt someone?

Can anyone give me tips about dealing with this?

Also what if when i grow up and become a doctor and i meet patients that don't want to see an asian doctor?

What should i do???????

    I would advice you to tell your parents about the reaction of the neighbors to you. Hopefully, they will consider moving. I have not had any problems with acceptance except with blacks who I don't really want to associate with anyway. Asians have good reputation in medical science. Just choose wisely on where to do your practice. So, if you can do it, yeah, become doctor.

    be good to everyone, what does it profit you if you are only good and nice to the people who are good to you, love your enemies, and be kind to those who persecute you, great is your reward in Heaven. you should have it resolved when you become a doctor, (do you see any similarity with your language, and Hispanix, the spanish language? are the sounds the same, such as hua like chihuahua, and Yuan, as Juan, and do you also see your language as any similarities with the Hebrew language??? so what the difficulty is who has the original language, who is better and who deserves first place, sure i know we shoul d all get along, and i hope you neighbors lighten up, they are probably trying to see how far they can go with you, don,t be rude, don,t stoop, to their tactics, they are feeling you out, once you are okay with them, you can hang around when they see that you are different and have something to contribute,

    you should think about not exploding, and work on that, don,t ever allow that someday to arrive, work on that and there won,t be room for problems, and so what, for awhile, without being a doormat, try letting them go, so you appear subservient or they appear better, if you know different, what do you know about God, doesn, t He say, to "esteem others better than yourselves" He does say that. good luck God bless , have a good day and life

    every person is ignorant and you will locate that around the international. you could the two forget approximately approximately them or permit it eat you up interior. in case you explode some day and harm somebody you will provide them the appropriate victory when you consider which you will effectively end your own life and regardless of desires you had to your destiny; is it properly worth it? And being a doctor and worrying approximately sufferers no longer desirous to be certain an Asian medical expert is particularly stupid and why are you writing a screenplay approximately something that has no longer took place yet and maximum in all probability never will ensue? relax, savor your life and forget approximately approximately thoughtless human beings.

    Surprisingly, when you're a rich doctor, you'll be accepted by all.

    Just maintain confidence, you know who you are and that is not a person defined by another person's ignorance.

    Move out of that racist minority neighborhood. White people will accept you...we teach our children to be tolerant and respectful to everybody, unlike blacks and hispanics, who don't discipline their children or teach them any moral values.

    Please don't judge all Americans based on a few dumb racist spics.

    america is full of racist and prejudice. stop looking for acceptance and be good to those who are good to you.
