unfortunately, many of us have experienced, either first-hand or second, someone being treated poorly just because of the color of his/her skin.

I'm half white and Asian (Southeast Asia) but my Asian side of the family were jealous of my skin color because I'm lighter. Also, when my grandma was younger she'd always get made fun of because she has a darker skin color to the point where my grandpa side of the family won't let my grandpa marry her because of her skin color. My grandma has been using skin whitening products for 10+ years now, which is so sad.

1. For the first time I was called the N-word at the age of 10 by a white boy
2. Most times I don't feel comfortable wearing loose comfy cloths in stores because I always end up being watched or followed

As an asian, we are expected to be smart and hardworking. We are expected to get a decent job like a lawyer or a doctor, and I dislike these stereotypes. I also hate how people are sexualizing asians and how everyone set standards for how they should all look, because not a lot of them are light skinned. Asian consists of many other cultures too, and not just Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, etc. For example, those who are from the South East or are a part of India.

In 3rd grade I used to be one of the smartest kids in my class and seemed to be doing pretty well through out my first semester. My homeroom teacher and math teacher isolated me from other students because of my race, and put me in different rooms to work on things that I had already done in the previous grade and had already known. I remember once I had finished taking a Map Test and obviously didn't end up getting the best results since I wasn't being taught the right curriculum, my math teacher shamed me and said "wow, that's sad, could've done better, very disappointed in you" and proceeded to give a nasty stare as I tried to hold back my tears. My mom tried to bring it up to the principle but she refused to listen until my mom threatened to report the situation to the district, they never ended up doing anything, but I soon figured out that they had been doing the same thing to only black and asian kids for a while....I'm not sure if they didn't want to see us successful or something, but I just found that really weird now that I look back at it.

One Stereotype is that Asians can't drive, but that's not true

As an east asian with naturally darker skin, I was told by my asian/family community to use whitening products very often. And when I turned 21, they would fly to my country to get my skin permanently bleached like the movie stars so that I could be their version of beautiful. I bought into it and used whitening soaps and lotions they bought just for me when I was in elementary and middle school. My sisters were light-skinned enough. One time, I tanned from the sun walking home. Someone in my house told me I looked too dark, so I ran to the bathroom and cried and pulled at my face while I literally searched up ¨how to whiten skin quick free after tan.¨ I did them, some of which were a little dangerous now that I think about it. I also wore long sleeves and everything in the summer so that I wouldn´t tan.

was waiting for a white lady to allow me to enter the fitting rooms and she just ignored me but when a white man came she immediately told him he could go in (he had one shirt in is hand).since she was ignoring me I finally asked her if im allowed to go and she answered with an attitude telling me "I don't know what you have in your hand" I showed her that I only had one item and she repeated that she dont know what I have, to hang the one item up.She didn't make the other dude do that.

This is more like a stereotype Asian = smart and know everything

# data[].attributes.body
The main stereotype is that I'm Asian and I have perfect grades, and so that's what my parents expect out of me as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The worst stereotype is that I'm automatically smart just because I'm asian

# data[].attributes.body
I was asian, and it was a common stereotype for asians to be really smart-- I was just a decent person, I have my own flaws in my own learning, but sometimes I can't stand someone telling me to uphold that stereotype when I want to be so free like everyone else.

I haven't experienced anything to do with racial bias, but my mom and step dad are an interracial couple. When we are in public we sometimes get dirty looks and whispers when walking by.

my family and i are asian and we went to in-n-out a couple days ago and obviously we were speaking korean and there was this family and they were sitting next to us and they kept eyeing us thinking i wouldn't notice so i eyed at them back and then they left. it made me uncomfortable but my family told me to just leave it alone. ever since covid started happening there's been a lot of asian hate and so sometimes we even fear going to stores.

I don't think I have personally experienced racial bias but there are various different stereotypes regarding different races that can sometimes be offensive

My mom growing up was always called racial names by her classmates. She was often harassed that they were going to call immigration on her and her siblings.

Both of my parents are immigrants here but now US Citizens. They were trying to look for a job when they came to the US but were told to go back to their country because of their color and because they didn’t know English.

I'm Asian and being Asian these days are difficult. I saw this video once of someone going on Omegle and that person was also Asian. People there are saying ching chang, ling long. As a way of intimating the Chinese language. They also stretch there eyes to make them seem like they are Asian. I find that very rude and offensive, because not everyone is like that. Not everyone is Chinese, or have squinty eyes. This kind of thing has been going on for a long time too.
