" I am tired of being seen only for the stereotypes."

My town is a predominately white area, and I am of the few Asian American students attending my school. It's disheartening to me the normalization of racism toward Asians. Even my close friends often make stereotypical racist jokes regarding my eyes, food, and academics. The other day phrases such as "So you're Asian, do you eat dogs?" made an appearance on a call with a friend. When I confronted them about their racism, they replied with, "Stop being so sensitive. It's just a joke." I am sick and tired of these so-called jokes. They were never funny and never will be; they are only shallow and insensitive. I am tired of being seen only for the stereotypes.
