Is it normal to not feel part of your own race?

I guess I've been immensely westernized, but I seriously hate some parts of the Asian culture. Here, people are narrow-minded and very conservative (beyond the positive extent). I know I should follow my own frickin' culture, but I just feel different. My parents always ask me why I never talk about boys, because to be honest, living in this Asian country all my life probably drove me to go asexual. The people here are unfriendly, shit-mannered, and minor PDA makes everyone mad.

The guys here have bad greasy hair (e.g. bowl cuts) bleached blonde, wear small glasses and have pimply faces with huge flat button noses and terrible English pronunication. I consider myself bisexual, but girls here act super kawaii and cutesy + "innocent" which is really gross in my opinion. I kind of find Asians ugly, including myself, which sucks.

Also I hate Chinese dramas and music, which is why I am absolutely repelled by the ones who like them. There were a few cases of girls showing bralettes/wearing tops with open backs and getting criticized by everyone. Sometimes it makes me super annoyed. I go to a girls' school, and nearly everyone feels the same way, and that they don't care about Southeast/East Asian guys. The thing is, I'm questioning the morale behind this.

Is it terrible that I'm being such a douche to my own society?

Is It Normal?

  • This is normal. I'm Puerto Rican and I feel like I'm not Hispanic at all. I don't care about the foods, the music, or the spanish language.

  • I hate my race too and I don't feel I belong or fit into any race either. I got on here to see if others felt the same way too.

  • Yes. I'm mixed-race, and I don't feel like I belong to any of the races that are apart of me, except for one.

  • I feel the same way about my American culture. Disliking aspects of your own culture is pretty normal in my opinion. Sometimes I think that American culture is so loud and obnoxious and that living in France might be better. But then I'd have to comply with their awful stuff.

    • OOH! Which kind of twinkie? Are you the original one? The banana one? The raspberry one? perhaps strawberry? Or...could you be the discontinued chocolate ones that have haunted my nightmares for well over a decade?! EEP! I'm scared now! Please don't kill me!

  • I feel that we are a completely screwed species. We could've done things better and even prevent our inevitable downfalls. But being too stupid and primal of a race, we're in the situation we're in and dooming the futures of the new generations. Pollution, Overpopulation, Corruption, Greed, Misery, War, Murder, Rape, Sexism, Racism...all these plague our species. But we proved to be too big of a failure evolutionary wise to fix them. Thank fuck I don't have kids to suffer in this dying world.

    RIP, Mankind. RIP.

    Oh, and just one little thing to the Pro-Lifers:
    I think that anyone who's against Abortion as well as those that try to make women give birth to babies they don't want should just die. No one but the woman should have choice in what happens to the fetus. A fetus should NEVER have significance over a living, sentient woman who's important to others and made alot of memories. And unless these Anti-Choicers adopt the babies they want born so bad, they can just shut the hell up. Pro-Life? HA! More like "Pro-Birth".

    They only give a fuck while the baby's still in the womb but once the kid's born, they're all like: "Screw you baby, you're on your own! Good luck!"

    For any pro-lifers on here, unless you're willing to walk the talk, shut the fuck up and leave pregnant women alone. Don't expect people to take you assholes seriously. And lastly, while a fetus may "technically" be alive, it's only in a state of pre-existance limbo so it's not TRULY alive yet.
