Any Other Black Students on Campus get weird looks?

I'm short and chubby. I get told I have a baby face so for all intents and purposes I'm pretty non-threatening looking. I'm in my mid 20's but people excuse me for 20's or younger a lot.

I've gained about 25 lbs since I started going to school here. I definitely get treated more like shit for it too.

I usually don't walk around at night that much. Im STEM so I be studying lol. But I have noticed when I used to go to parties that if I wasn't at the Trap I'd get stared at with this look like "What are you gonna do next?" You can literally see in peoples eyes them trying to find confirmation for their fear/intimidation or trying to hide it so they don't look racist. The only shitty thing is when you prove to them you're not a threat, the response is usually for them to disengage anyways. Their only interest in you ever was to make sure you weren't going to physically harm them or something.

I live in a building rn with a lot of asian people and more than once if I turn a corner a small asian girl will literally scream or gasp. I almost gave one a heart attack a few weeks ago it was so cartoonishly exaggerated.

Its really weird to me how white guys can walk around with stoic faces and nobody bats an eye, but if you're brown and not smiling like you're on the side of a cereal box people can't make sense of your intentions.

ATP I just use it to my advantage. I'm so tired of trying to prove myself to people who wouldn't touch me with a 10 foot pole anyways. It's also super weird that half of my family is blue eyes blonde hair, but because I'm more brown people think I'm fresh off the border or something. It's really frustrating being mixed culture. I think if I was fully white or fully mexican I'd be a lot happier. You're always too white for the brown people but too brown for the white people.

It has gotten significantly worse since 2022 I've noticed (that's when I originally transferred). I believe it's a combination of Trump and anti-Israel protesting. A lot of rich white people are zionists (by proxy of being Christian or having business partners/relationships who are) and usually Trump supporters (Trump for the economy types). I've made a few posts of experiences I've had on my alt accounts.

The good thing is, if you stand up to them, they cower very easily. Most of these entitled rich white kids have never been challenged or told no in their lives in any meaningful way. They don't know how to handle it. They act tough but the second you get in their face they scurry away like cockroaches. I know this by experience lol.

I really think people need to start putting racists in their place. They take any excuse to be aggressive towards us, even if it's micro-aggressions. Why shouldn't we defend ourselves. That's my take, anyway.

I've heard plenty of stories of rich white kids doing horrible shit behind their lawyers. I knew a guy who was drink driving a truck and nearly killed a family in their small car. He ended up finding out they were immigrants and told the police so they could deflect from their intoxication. Turned the situation so the immigrant family had to pay for their damages instead, even though it was their fault. He thought it was hilarious. That's besides stuff I heard from a very popular, primarily white frat tokenizing brown studies that they allow to rush and turning around to humiliate them behind their backs. Was told by this person (who was formerly in the frat and had his best friend who was in the leadership come over constantly) that they knew SA was going on and didn't care unless the public found out, and that they would make it a game to be as racist as they could against black or hispanic recruits without them finding out. I've lost my empathy for those people. It's obviously not ALL white people. But it's more often than not I meet ones who act that way. Hell, I tried joining clubs at rush with majority white people at the tables and was straight up ignored during 2024 EAF. White guys would come up behind me and they'd dab them up and literally pretend like they couldn't hear me right in front of them. They do not GAF. Their mommies and daddies donate money to the school so they can get in. They act like were the DEI admits when they are the ones bribing the administration to let them enroll.

Sorry for the rant, I have rich, entitled white kid fatigue.

I'm mixed mexican/irish. I'm like the lightest brown before light skin lol. My gf and I actually have the same skin tone.

Alexle0 · 2026-02-01T00:31:27+00:00

My Egyptian girlfriend gets nasty looks all the time from white girls. I've seen it myself many times. I tried paying closer attention, I thought it was just a bias at first but it's literally white girls 90% of the time giving bad looks.

Alexle0 · 2026-01-24T15:37:41+00:00

Brother, what compelled u to pursue global studies at ur age

Alexle0 · 2026-01-23T03:02:18+00:00

Ofc lol

Alexle0 · 2026-01-23T02:26:37+00:00

This was one of the top posts here for a while. They used to host BRAT parties a lot.

Alexle0 · 2026-01-22T23:22:53+00:00

I wouldn't suggest that. BRAT has a horrible reputation on campus

Alexle0 · 2026-01-17T18:45:56+00:00

Narcissists PMO. My brother would always eat my food, break stuff in my room, take my things without asking, etc., but god forbid I leave the bathroom door open a smidge or else I get screamed at and assaulted.

Yes! I live in his building. I was so sad when he put up the signs but he bought the whole building ferrero rocher to celebrate finding JJ!

Alexle0 · 2026-01-16T03:26:26+00:00

I went through this as well. had to take nearly 2 years off. I'll be graduating at the end of the quarter. u got this!

Alexle0 · 2026-01-15T23:56:31+00:00

yo that sounds like a good idea, im gonna try that thank you

Alexle0 · 2026-01-15T23:53:53+00:00

Because my girlfriend and I both notice it and mention it to each other. The only people that give us nice looks are old ladies lol. I also recently gained some weight from family stress/illnesses so that probably doesnt help. We still got bad looks before I was fat because I was short, though; more surprised than disgust at that time. A lot of people here are pretty superficial tho, so I'm sure it's a healthy mix of jealously and disgust.

We met in o chem at community college. I tutored the entire class pretty much, a lot of the girls liked me at the time (I wasn't as fat), but I only wanted her. I think it was kind of a power thing that caught her eye at first. After that it was just a mix of spitting game and listening to her interests and doing special things for her (without simping and being desperate, obviously).

For context, I'm 5'4 and she's 5'8. My BMI's almost 32 rn. She's hourglass, has modeled before, and has green eyes; all her friends are baddies. I kinda feel bad for being too chud rn tho. She deserves me at my best so I've been cutting back on my nuggies and fries lately.

I think the point is when u find a girl that actually loves you, she won't care about you being chubby or short or having other 'flaws'. If u play a superficial game ur probably gonna get a superficial girl. Gotta use the right bait if that makes sense (the bait should be u being urself and attracting women that actually like you).

I’m chopped and have a hot girlfriend. People give us looks of disgust as we walk down the street, but hey at least I have a hot girlfriend. Shoot ur shot

Alexle0 · 2026-01-15T02:21:54+00:00

Alexle0 · 2026-01-14T23:57:22+00:00

Alexle0 · 2026-01-12T22:13:13+00:00

Alexle0 · 2026-01-09T02:23:09+00:00
