Answer 1

Just tell them to stop and at the end of the week, if it hasn't stopped: Tell them its their loss and walk out. There's no better way to make an impact than ruin the source of the situation itself.

Absolutely none of that is okay. People always say its white people who are racist, but everyone's a little bit racist! It's true, cuz everyone's just about as racist as you.

Answer 2

Hello.  Speak frankly to the director (and if necessary, the head of the department or principal) and explain your concerns.  Tell him/her that-- as the adult-- you expect them to address the problem and not contribute to it.  Explain that YOU know the difference between a role in a play and real life, and if the person in charge cannot express that to the rest of the cast, you will have no choice but to quit the play.  That way you're not just walking away and leaving them high and dry, they're getting fair notice.

Also, make sure your behaviour is in no way contributing to their treatment of you.  If you're acting conceited or being  condescending to others, their reaction may be in response to that.  I'm not saying you're doing that but, check yourself just in case.

Maybe they're jealous because you can speak more than one language.

Good luck, and remember-- they call it a "play" because it's supposed to be fun.

oh wow...because you are german and playing a german person in a play...that sucks...since you are the only one qualified for the part, stick with it...and talk an administrator at your school about all of the racism you are dealing with, especially with the teacher...the teacher most especially has no right to act like that...
