        I'm born Korean raised British & empathise 100% with you. Think you've figured it out there though, it is 1. about the race 2. having to make the efforts to meet half way 3. The BULLSHIT media has brainwashed us with, that you're supposed to have the most romantic time in uni.

        I'll be very honest, every time I hear another person say their uni days were no fun and so lonely, I rejoice in the collective misery, that I wasn't alone. It's time we talked about this.

        It's not always about race. There's no reason for others to come to you if you don't want to meet them half way.

        I love your response, it’s so true! It’s so much easier to do the easy thing and blame race than the actual issue at hand! I wish more people were as thoughtful as you are! ❤️

        I’m a skinny white girl and didn’t enjoy my college experience either. Everyone kept to themselves at my school (more of a commuter school). I wish I could have been your friend ☺️

        Maybe it was just hard because you felt separated. By the visual differences that we are taught to noticed. Also the idea that you were trying to live up to a save by the bell moment might have made the whole thing impossible. Be social now. Be you. You’re beautiful as you are ❤️

        I think ur right to ask yourself these questions. Sometimes the distance is inside your head and other times it's people being ignorant. I know because I was a closeted gay during my frat years. A casual offence can lead to a lifelong friendship, though, so keep thinking 💭
