Most people think that Asians are born with it, we're not. We were forced to learn as soon as we could crawl. Our parents limited free time, and you even had your friends vetted to avoid bad influences. Most of us had private tutors, extra classes at night and in the weekends, there were even more classes during the holidays, and everything was geared towards our careers. Free time was for learning an instrument or playing tennis with the son of your father's coworker. Teenage suicide is highest in places like Korea, Japan, Singapore and China. Take my word for it, don't do what we did. Give your children a childhood.

As a kid in middle school, all I want is for everybody to one day not judge others by what they're skin color or ethnicity is,but to judge others by how they act towards others and to themselves. However, this will take a miracle because hate is a continuous never-ending cycle. Hate just creates more hate,revenge, and vengeance.

Then he finally shut up. Bullies are slightly mentally sick people. To deal with crazy people you need to be crazier. Of coz the cutter blade was very short, even if he really try to stab I don't suffer much damage and I could have him put in jail and have a peaceful school life. It's 1 stone 2 birds.... I mean either hit one of the birds (objectives) lol. The lesson is that if you (bullies) wanna be badass, be all the way bad, be as bad as a murder or a serious criminal don't be half baked bad. It's just pathetic. I don't care if your father left you when you were 2 months old and shit. You (bullies) are not the only one have tough lives.

1st question - we do call them that sometimes, but since not all white people originate from Europe (some examples are Algeria, Turkey, Lebanon, etc) it may be just more appropriate to say "white American". 2nd question - I don't experience that at all. In fact, I only got sensitive to it when I moved to Europe. Unlike America, white Europeans didn't steal any European land from some other group (only amongst themselves :-) ), so I can better relate to that question been asked over there.

I'd believe if someone told me that they have less than 0.1 mil. And they will be like "So, that's what a white man looks and acts like". People, white people had done a circus and zoo with black people in it. So an observation from a far away should be treated as such? Observation is on everyday basis of our lives.
