I'm asian and live in London, but why do people keep looking at me everytime I go out alone and walk?

Question

Are they just being racist, or am I that scary?

Answer 1

I do not know what you look like but it seems to me that the people of England are ignorant. And that is saying a lot coming from me after all I dated a girl from Hayes ,Middlesex for 10 years and I am Native American so my skin is brown. And to make it worse it turns black in the summer months so I am very familiar with the prejudicial attitudes of people not only the English but all peoples.

Answer 2

You're just being self-conscious. London is full of Asian people, full of people of every ethnicity, nobody's looking at you any differently than they look at everyone else.

Answer 3

i totally agree with andy..

londoners are very busy with their life, and they might have prejudices like everyone in this world...

probably it's just you.. looking at them. and as you do it, they do the same back to you...

i live in a small town, and HERE everyone is looking at others, and people  have lot of prejudice with immigrants or just other native countries' people and they even laugh at your face or stare at you if you don't look like they prefer and so.. on.. so i would say that your lucky to be in ldn :D

goodluck

Answer 4

I do not think they look at you. It has to be other way round. for example, if you are new to London, you may be looking at people,buildings etc as we can expect that is normal as we do when go on holidays abroad.

(perhaps, you may be wearing weired cloths etc etc)

stop looking at others if you do so. if you look at others they do the same as all normal people do.

I don't think they are being racists or you look scary. just get over it and enjoy

good luck!
