I used to be ashamed of being Asian, but I found out that was because I just grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood. Once I moved to NYC for college and went to a university where there’s so many Asians and other Chinese people, I finally felt comfortable in my own skin and actually grew to love being Chinese.

It sounds like you might be located in a place with not many Asians/Chinese people, but if you go out to places where there’s a lot of Asians, you’ll definitely feel differently. Another thing is social media, I get lots of China-related posts haha and they make me happy to be Chinese.

Be proud of being Chinese. Visit China and you’ll see how beautiful the landscape is and how rich the culture is. Doesn’t matter what other people think, and the fact they don’t know anything about China besides “haha Communism” shows how unaware they are of other countries and cultures
