Is it write for people to tease me because of my race?

no because it doesn't matter what you do and just because some races may act a certain thing or things, doesn't necessarily mean its because of their race that their acting like that. it may mean that its just how the person is. if you are teased, tell people to stop and just ignore them. u should'nt listen to them because they are wrong. u should like you for who you are and don't let insults bring you down. i know this because people make fun of me because my dad is 100 percent african (also american), my mom is a spaniard, chines, and filipino. i am considered black and my skin tone can go from light skin to dark skin, depending if its hot or something like that. my natural color is light skinned, a mixture of yellow and brown because i'm mixed with asian, european, and black. i'm european becaue my mom's grandma's grandpa is a spaniard (100 percent) and my mom's dad is a spaniard and mixed with something else or something. i get over the teasing but its hard, i've been made fun alot because i'm asian more than being called the N word but i strongly dislike being called the N word and other racist stuff when it comes for Black people insults than being asian. be strong, you can do it! hope this helps!

I feel that everyone deserves to find someone that compliments them best and sometimes that does cross racial lines. I wish the best for everyone and if it's a case of being biracial, homosexual, or anything else considered away from the "norm" then so be it. I live in Texas and yes, from what I've seen, it does happen frequently.

It's gonna be difficult without words. Maybe you should just point at different races?

Didn't we go through this yesterday? What do you want - a pity card for being a racist? Not happening. Get over it. You'd be surprised at how rarely us "whiteys" really give a giant rats butt what race you are. For God's sake - most people interview for more than one position, but only someone who chooses to see themselves as a victim take it so personally. I think you expected them to hire you BECAUSE you're a minority, and now you're pissed off. Quit being a victim and take some responsibility for yourself.

Argggh......there is this thing called stereotyping....eh??\n\nDon't worry, people assume I'm a dumb blonde. We just have to show them who we really are and be patient with their little narrow minds. :)

Just tell them it bothers you.  It also depends on what they're teasing you about.  I tease my niece all the time, but if she tells me I'm annoying her, then I stop.

I believe there is someone for everyone as a person, why do you find it necessary to say, I'M Black. I don't say when I put pen to paper or talk I'M WHITE. Either your a lovely person and thats all that counts, or you're not. Think of being a lovely person then others will think the same. Hope you get what you want have a lovely life.

You sound a bit sue happy if you ask me... Sure take them to court but let me ask you this, is there anyone at your work that is going to be a witness to this racial discrimination, have you ever told a joke about a blonde or about a race (including your own). My bet is your co-worker didn't even think about it as being racial, he probably was in his mind sharing a funny joke, or did he direct it towards you, more specifically at you? Many times people over hear things and take it way too personal. Some people use their race to get special privileges, others cry out just because they can and want an easy buck. We all have bills and if I was to try and pursue a lawsuit for every comment I have heard about women let me tell you, I'd be filthy rich, oh and lazy too. If you are uncomfortable at work maybe you should look inside yourself and see what it is about yourself that makes you uncomfortable, possibly you are unapproachable or maybe just the opposite, maybe your co-work was comfortable enough around you that he didn't think you would get bent out of shape about a silly joke, maybe he doesn't see you as someone that would quickly use a race card...I’m not trying to pick on you I’m trying to show you there are other possibilities. Not every person is prejudice because they use a label. I truly wish I knew what to call everyone, some people aren't okay with simply being called American, they want another title with it, such as Latino or African, so how does one know what to use and when to and not to use it. \nFood for thought: I could say this question made me uncomfortable because I am female, then I could sue you for sexual harassment, CRAZY! but true, the law defines sexual harassment as making one uncomfortable. (In the simplest terms that is BS I could sue everyone for my own short comings, she looked at me weird and made me uncomfortable, sexual harassment, he said hi to me and I was uncomfortable, sexual harassment) I'm not kidding you its true... \n\nBefore you jump to any conclusions look at yourself and how you interact with your co-workers, make sure you aren't reading too much into it. Also make sure it is worth the fight. \n\nGood Luck and I hope you find it in yourself to make sure you are doing the right thing.\n\nHave a GREAT day!

If you use it in a racial overtone....or threat.\nBut if you are using it as a statement in the mix of joking around...I see no harm..but the fine line is not using as a joke by using a specific race in the joke.\nIt really depends on the person....recieving the word....some people are so sensitive it's pitful.

You shouldn't have to mention anything about Nationality...  People will like you for WHO you are, not WHAT you are.

you sounds racist and it sounds like you look at the outside and not the inside.... vary bad. The only way you will change is if you really want to and you are right that does get on other people's nerves. I bet some people look at you and feel the same way and you also sounds kinda pharanoid..... i knew someone who was pharanoid.... after 40 years she finally got sent to the mental hospital for loosing it at her job.... please don;t be like that... that's all we need is some more syco's!

If you really want to keep it secret, don't tell. Don't be afraid of them teasing you unless their intentions are mean. You must be able to laugh at yourself.

dont do anything to change your skin color. do you know how many people wish they had darker skin. look how many people go to the tanning bed. whoever is making fun of you are just jealous of your pretty skin color. i have indian in me and always get compliments on my skin and how pretty it is. so stay like you are.

You can't be too careful. Of course, it might not be politically correct to monitor a specific ethnicity either. I have met a few rag-heads that are pretty cool, and who are my friends. They call me cracker, and we play around, but don't take offense to each other's sarcastic jokes.

I get so tired of it.\n\nListen to this...\n\nTwo males came into my job and tried to pass counterfiet money and they said I was racist. They were black, Im white. WTF!\n\nThey were the ones doing bad things so why am I being called racist. Man its getting old being a young white person. I bet its real hard for every race though.\n\nI WANT TO BE PURPLE!

I wouldn't judge anyone until I got to know them personally. We are all different and are all able to be liked or hated no matter what colour our skin is. pre-judging people is one of the main faults in our society, we should just take people for who they are and not worry about what others think of us.
