xenophobic of white people

[coolasice]

Hello,

I am an Asian guy who has moved to an European country for about a year now. I have a weird habit that I want to seek advice. I have this problem when socializing with white people. I get tensed up when I mix with them. It doesnt happen to people of other races, but whites.

I wonder if its because i feel that I am racially inferior to them. I try to reason to myself that this shouldnt be happening, but I always seem to think that they are more superior. Maybe because of the westernization/global pop culture that potray whites to be macho/smart/sexy and everything? I tend to think how I am being seen by them.

I am actually a very social person in nature, but I cant help but to have this problem.

I know how you feel. I feel really uncomfortable around whites. True the media often portray them as the ultimate Race, but the reality is we are all the same. You will have to keep remaining yourself that you are not inferior to them.
They eat, shit, and die just like everyone else. I hope you find a solution to help you with your problems.

boo :!:

I am a white person also affraid of white people. I have even posted about it before but nobody cared.

White people tend to be very witty and ruthless in verbal conflicts.

Im a white man myself.

I lived in Taiwan for a number of years where I was a minority.
My phobia changed over there. I became intensely afraid of my own colour but not so much of the Asian people around me. The reason was that I knew all the white people could speak English, and because there were few of us, there was a level of circumstantial affinity. I did feel fearful when I met Asians that I discovered could speak English well.

Aw you shouldn't feel that way, every one is the same to me! I am white British and it's only morons who are racist, who aren't worth a second thought about! Any one who judges some one on their colour or where they come from is totally dispicable!
I must admit, when I went on Holiday to Malaysia though (which is the firendliest place I ever been incidently!) the first time I stepped out, I felt really different like I stuck out like a sore thumb being blonde and I am very tall too. Every one else had this lovely dark hair and were real petitie but I felt really good about myself by the end of my holiday as though I did get attention off the wonderful local people, every one kept giving me compliments...even other women and women can be horrible to eachother here in the UK! ha ha!

This is so true. Sometimes I think its a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more I dwell into it, the more uncertain I become.

Maybe I should open up and break the stereotype? I know they shit, talk and eat like anyone else. So why worry? Sometimes I think I am racist myself. If not, why do I feel unsecure when I am with a certain race? Maybe simply because I label people, stereotype them. The root cause is myself.
