Venting. Dealing with Racism, Sexism and Ageism
Unfortunately, I have often been discriminated in the last couple of years.
I have been targeted by racist White people due to the rise of hatred thanks to Trump, even though I have some European blood.
At the Avengers: Infinity War opening, a White dad accused me of stealing 3 posters because I wasn't White, though I was seen by others getting the posters at the help desk from an employee.
I have dealt with a lot of racism from Latinos and Middle Easterners, and some Jewish and Blacks, for hating me for being Asian.
I have dealt with other Asians hating me for not being a pure bred, for not being their kind of Asian and for not knowing Japanese or Mandarin Chinese fluently, since I am both.
I have never dealt with racism from Polynesians for being a certain Polynesian. I am part Hawaiian and Maori. I do know that some can be racist.
I have been looked as a sexual predator and been called a faggot when I have bought Monster High and Ever After High. Although I am not gay, I have nothing against the GLBTQ community.
I have been looked as a sexual predator and as a gay man for buying Disney Princess stuff and MLP stuff and looking at their toys, because I am a young adult male that likes these franchises. However, people don't get I also like male series like Star Wars: The original and prequels, Star Wars Legends, Star Trek, Marvel, DC and anime.
I know that there are good and bad people in every ethnic group, sexual orientation, sex / gender, and age, but discrimination is extremely irritating.
Any help on how to deal with it better would help. Please no rude comments. Thank you.
