awe honey : ( i've also had to deal with this. racial discrimination isn't funny and the fact that people s t i l l do this is disgusting. at my school, people don't really do this as my school is a majority of poc and they know how it feels to be oppressed. however, the few that still do, claim they do it for the "joke" of it and slowly have stopped bc they know how i feel about it. just ignore them & take pride in your race : )

Try having a strong Irish accent in a school that has pretty much only British people in it... they think I'm Scottish.

Exactly. People would be trying to do this "Asian" accent when all they are doing is basically the normal British one with wrong pronunciations of basic English words.

I guess I'm lucky to have a British last name? But I look more Asian, though. So whenever I have a new teacher or something and she's calling attendance... I swear she gives me a funny look when I raise my hand.

I feel like everyone bullies you there ._.
I'm just the calm asian at my school that randomly has an awkward personality which is used in random moments. I feel as some people talk behind my back but I don't really care as long as I get an education and become the profession I want to become.
So whether it's all the whites being racist to you or stereotyping you it's because they're probably bullying you lightly by calling you names.
If that's the case and they're stereotyping you do what my friend did to the black 8th grader at my school.
"Are you good at Math?"
"Are you good at basketball?"
That may work or you might get less respect idk it was my friends choice
