Being in a predominantly white catholic school, people assume that I’m the shy Asian girl and wouldn’t necessarily initiate conversations with me, so I have to be extra extroverted in order to show that I’m different than “other Asian girls.” Also in school some white girls who aren’t even my friends would only talk to me when they need help with lab or a test. So I would say those are some of the negative impact of racial stereotypes on me. Hope that helps!
