As a brown girl who has been bullied by pretty white girls in the past, I've always had trouble with making friends with white girls years later.
I know not every white girl is the same as my bullies, and I know they're not responsible for my bullys' actions either, but I do struggle with this prejudice a teeny tiny bit. Can anyone else relate?

Change your Mindset
What I am about to say in this post will probably be controversial, but I don't care. If we don't change our mindset there will never be generational change....
Yeah there's racism towards brown people from a young age too I've noticed x
Whats the context if you don't mind me asking, is it a school in the US, is it the UK, is there a huge racial divide? Speak up tell someone about the bullying x I understand why you've got that belief & try to let go of it.

ReplyWell I am white and I am afraid of my own gender cause I have been bullied bad so I feel you girl I was billed by my mother non stop builled by my best friends sister plus mine and it went on for years
ReplyI've had a similar experience. Was bullied by the pretty popular white girls and guys when I was in school. It's been many years since then, yet I still can't build relationships with pretty/ popular white girls. I would love to say I hold no prejudice against them, but deep down I know I do. I wish I could get over it. I'm trying to.
ReplyOften times the people that bully others it generally doesn't always have something to do with ethnicity and skin colour.
I've been bullied by White, Black, Asian,Hispanic and Brown people. I've had people of all different ethnicities and walks of life treat me badly and be abusive towards me.
I'm also of "mixed raced" as they call it, as i'm of a multiracial background and one nationality. Trust me, I had my fair share of racist remarks and words used to describe me. I had people calling me “mutt” and “mulatto” which isn't very nice words to use for a mixed person.
I've been bullied through different stages in my life and not once did it have anything to do with my skin complexion. As an adult, I'm still dealing with difficult people and you will get that everywhere in all different ethnic backgrounds.
I know I'm certainly not racist as I'm a mixed person and pretty opened minded towsrds ebeyhting because of what I am. I also have friends of different ethnicities Black, White, Asian etc...
It just goes to show you that there will be people who you will encounter that are real a**holes. You can be innocent, do nothing wrong and still recieve attacks from bullies. They'll look for something wrong with you to pick at or create an issue that isn't there to start drama and I know this out of personal experience.
Anyways, I'm sorry you had has such bad experiences if being bullied, as it sucks being bullied and it hurts alot. It's difficult to be thick skinned towards everything and not let it bother you. I just hope it hasn't stopped you from meeting nice people if all different ethnicities.
They're still some good people out there.
You need to realize that how people treat you is a reflection of themselves. It has nothing to do with you personally and skin color.
That being said, racism is still a big problem in many parts of the world but we shouldn't allow such hate get the best of us either and be just as hateful.

ReplyI was the opposite, a white girl in a black school/neighborhood. I was the only white girl there. They jumped me whenever they wanted, made me sit by myself at lunch,called me (and my mama) everybname in the book, and overall just gave me a really hard time. At first, I was afraid of them. But one day, a single girl thought she was gonna do the work of 5 on me by herself, and I drug that ass. Her friends all came back to beat me up and when they started coming to me I yelled at them. If you cant fight me alone, then DON'T TOUCH ME!!! They all paused. Thought about it, I guess. And then they invited me to play. We were friends after that. And they never jumped me again. But I had to go through the same thing once I moved, years later. Only that time, it was only 2 girls that tried to jump me, and yeah. They should've brought more.🤣 I was used to much more. So, I was able to handle them pretty easily. Once word of that got around people started treating me with kid gloves. Because in a black community, getting your ass beat by a white girl is not the stuff dreams are made of.
Yet and still, I made some good friends that I love to this day. All lovely, beautiful black ladies. Smart, strong, dignified, hilarious. I love my friends. It's kind of easy to feel racist when you've been treated so harshly by a particular race of people, but I never did. I understood the people who bullied me were kids themselves, and they had some growing to do. Just like me.
So, dislike those girls and people like them all you want. But don't let quality friends pass you by because they happen to be the same color as those that hurt you.
Big hugs little one❤ hang in there.
ReplyRace has nothing to do with being bullied. You are just insecure and are used to being told that it has something to do with race by older people.
