My school is very popular with internationals. Probably 20-40% of the schools population is international. And Chinese, they only want to hang out with Chinese, Koreans with Koreans, and so on. Even Chinese Canadians, who will speak English even when Chinese is spoken to them, but still they would rather hang out with Chinese. That sort of makes me sad sometimes because I meet someone who is a really good person and then I realize, "I can never truly be friends with this person." Me, I'm mixed race. My accent is clearly Canadian, but some people probably think I'm international. I often look at my Chinese-Canadian friends, and I feel bad for them. Cause it doesn't seem to matter that much that they've been here their whole lives, but some people view them as Chinese before anything else, and call them "Immigrants" rather than Canadians. And they have been forced to accept that. There's some Chinese girls I like, and we might get along really well, have some real good vibes, but it will never go anywhere, because I can't live in a world, where I'm the only one who doesn't understand Chinese and everyone around me does. Honestly, I would just want to die.
