Is it normal to want nothing to do with a race for your own peace.

I am pretty sure it's normal. I am an Australian, but my dad is South African and my mum is Macedonian. I feel exactly the same way as you do, but my problem is with the Australian Aboriginals/Half-Caste Aboriginals. I am 15, and so I'm in year 11 at high school and all throughout my life I have been bullied by Aboriginals. Mostly half-caste Aboriginals are the ones that cause problems though.

The bullying has died down a lot ever since I left primary school, but it still occurs. I made a decision that I was going to avoid Aboriginal people completely. I have told some people about this, and most of them have just immediately called me a racist and disgusting, etc.. But I don't see myself as racist for doing this. I'm just trying to protect myself and avoid having more pain in my life.

I know that a lot of Aboriginals are nice people, and one of my good friends is Aboriginal. It's just that so many Aboriginals have bullied me during my school years, and so I just don't see the point in trying to interact with them. If one of them wants to be my friend or wants to talk to me though, I won't reject them and tell them to go away. I will gladly be their friend. But I am not going to go out of my way to try to talk to them or be friends with them.

This is just my story and my opinion of this issue, but I believe it is definitely a normal thing. And also, sorry if this doesn't make much sense or if my English is all messed up, but yesterday I had my wisdom teeth removed and so I'm on extremely strong pain killers and I'm very tired and sore and drowsy.. Hahaha xD

that's terrible especially because you're a female. im a black guy and i know there's plenty of scumbags in our race too as well as all other races. awareness is safety. not to worry you but anyone could attack you.

i hope strong justice is served to those guys.

Huh? Are you Black, White, or what?

there are more bad black guys and mexicans then there are in the Caucasian race. at least where im from take a walk down in east waco and youll see what i mean

Wow im sorry to hear that. its insane to hear things like that still happen im going to guess u live in the south, maybe not, but i think its a beautiful thing that u have a multi-racial family. Not all white ppl are ignorate hill billys. I would say move to a better place even tho u wil prob find a biggit or 2 anywhere all things you said u experinced b4 this attack tells me u are in a hate enriched community. Dont give up on all white ppl tho or at least dont fuel the fire of hate :) good luck to you and i hope u see justice.

Well although I'm a white guy I'll assume it's normal since you must have a form of post-traumatic stress disorder.

I'm sorry that had to happen to you. :( I'm white, but I think there's bad people all over. Bad people of every kind. My kind included. I can't help you much with that, but understand that theres good people too. If you search hard enough.

I can completely understand that.

I am a white female, and I grew up colorblind. Race was never mentioned in my life. Then I moved to Florida in middle school and the busstop was self segregated (all of the white people sat on one side and the black on another). The black side was closest so I went and sat there and tried to make friends (hey guys watcha listening to sorta thing) and got the shit beat out of me because my family supposably owned slaves and I supposably hate black people. (My family didn't come here until mid-1800's, came to NY and migrated to Utah)

The admin didn't care, so I just kept getting the shit beat out of me. I made friends with a black boy and got the shit beat out of me harder because white people can't be friends with black people, or so they said. This kept on going until I moved to NC where it ended. I have gotten past most of it and I don't have racist thoughts, so to speak, but I can't help but avoid black people (women especially) that I don't already know. It's like, instinct at this point.

Trust me, I understand. It will take a very long time to get over this, just keep telling yourself that not all white guys are like this and do what I do. Start off (this might take months) with interacting with white guys you don't know while trusted friends are around. Eventually you'll get comfortable with doing it by yourself.

It is completely normal! The only thing that I would advise against though is saying that you have a problem with a particular race in public. This could cause controversy! I don't like some races, including my own but I don't tell people in public which ones I don't like.

racists exist in every skin-tone.

if you want to avoid a specific skin color due to racism you'll have to be a hermit.
