    First, I feel you, and I am sorry for everything that is happening when you were just minding your business.

    Second, if you are getting that type of remarks from unknown or popular kids out of the blue, you are in passed of being marginalized and becoming the whipping girl.

    Do not ignore their comments. They won't stop.
    Do not act offended, that is what they are after, getting into your head.
    Either go with humor and laugh it off (style asigga, nigglet) but it is hard and difficult to keep the balance between funny (what they think they are) and offending (what they are).
    Or you go with recording and then going to your parents after having proof. Then option 1 : asking the school to educate people that it is not OK or option 2 : going nuclear.
    Keep in mind that the school will probably not care, that yours parents may tell you to suck it up and then your only option will be to give back racist slang for racist slang. And then your defense will be : but everybody think that ling ling is not offensive, what nigg* should be?
    Anyway, try to make the calm in your emotions before acting, in order not to appear as the crazy one.
    Have a virtual hug, chin up, get them addict to unfinished C-novel, and when they are, refuse to translate them the raw.

    well we need a better word for it. I suggest...Niggasian. Sounds so much more legit. Slightly more racist, yes, but far more understandable. And its a racial slur anyway so its SUPPOSED to sound racist, right?

    Well, in cases like these, it's fine to just ignore them. After all, it's not like your Asian-ness is reduced by people making fuck of Asians. Besides, Ai-chan loves a little racism or two when Ai-chan was being pounded. But that's a story for another time.

    That being said, there has been people who were confused about Ai-chan's ethnicity. There were kids at school who even called Ai-chan 'fake-white'.

    Ai-chan's advice is to just ignore them. If they directly make fun of you, then you can punch them in the gut. But if they're just having fun with their own friends, don't do anything. It will just make you a target of bullying.

    Btw some of them are not racist, it's just kids being cruel. To them it's probably the same as messing with a nerd kid or autist or vegetarian or that unlucky girl who kissed some guy and now everybody calls her a slut or something else different or unpopular. Some of them will change for the better when they grow up, now it's just "joking" to them.

    Don't listen to everyone else. Freak the fuck out and tell them to shut the fuck up about race. Also report them for racist behaviour to your year advisor and he/she will chase them down and end it immediately(you can sue them or call media attention if they don't do something about it). Trust me when i say if you passively ignore them they will take it as acceptence. If you are a shy and quiet guy please don't back down from the first step. Its one thing if the teachers don't want you to say something its another if your peer does.

    Best thing you can do IMHO is to talk to them... Like... Look them in the eyes and just talk, say that you don't like it, but keep a cool head and talk seriously about it.

    Don't fight back or swear at them, just have a normal conversation saying that you don't like what they are doing and would like them to stop... Most people would get embarrassed by what they're doing and stop.

    ... If they don't stop, then talking to the school's counselors is the best thing I guess, but solving things directly without confrontation is generally better.

    Either take legal action or ignore them. Tons of people on the net are just too ignorant for confrontation
