My friend is mexican but she HATES mexican guys, she also dislikes black guys. She calls mexican guys cholos and makes a lot of hater comments about them. She says its because she hates gangster mentality, yet at the same time she doesn't mind whites and asians that have that type of lifestyle. She puts white and asians [especially asians] above all the other races. Something else about her is that she often times rant about only wanting a 1/2 asian baby. She'll only date whites and asians. I'm 1/2 black and 1/2 korean and she gives me compliments about my asian traits and never my black traits. She has higher standards for everyone else than for asians. On a more positive note, she says she is proud to be mexican and that she loves her culture, but I think that if she had a choice of what race she wanted to be I know she'd choose to be japanese. To me that just seems really biased and RACIST. We've had many arguments about her stereotyping and making generalizations based on race. Also, something about me is that since I am biracial I get racism coming at me from four sides, racism for being black, racism for being asian, racism for being mixed, and racism for being a minority so when people say racist things, even if it has nothing to do with me I take it personal. So is my friend racist or am I just being all sensitive and politically correct? What can I to get her to see people as equals. Am I wrong for not respecting/accepting her beliefs?
