I just entered college a few days ago. So far, everything is going pretty well, but the chinese international students are making me feel extremely uncomfortable. I have several physical problems that make me stand out. Nearly all of the American students I've talked to so far are friendly. However, I feel like I am being judged, berated, and talked about by most of the chinese students every time I pass them. Unfortunately, a chinese girl lives across the hall from me and a group of her male friends stay in her room late into the night (And I live in a girl's dorm). I'm afraid to leave my room and I always close and lock my door during the evening. I know the chinese people have a negative view of people with disabilities, but I've earned my spot in the competitive college I'm attending, and I deserve to feel safe in (what is now, essentially) my home. What should I do?
