I am a Vietnamese immigrant and I'm 15. My family moved here legally 6 months ago. At first i was enjoying it here. Nice food and nice entertainment and less socially strict. But i can not deal with the people. I attend a school that is majority white. this white student yells "shes got the coronavirus" and then he and his friend group run away while laughing. I am not chinese. people like to ask me if i can see or not. my name is Dinh, and a classmate turned my name into a joke "Chong chin Dinh" which was apparently so amusing to sophomores.. if i didnt understand English i would have assumed they placed me back middle school. when lunch period starts and its time for me to eat, students will cover their noses or frown their faces and if someone asks if they can try my food & i say yeah you can have a bite, they hesitate first and ask me if it contains dog meat or bats. My neighbors across the street are rude too. every time i wave they dont wave back. theres an elderly woman who sits on the porch every morning, i assume shes the mother of the man who lives there. 2 weeks ago before i catch the bus we talk and she seemed okay but she referred to me as zipperhead and immediately said oops im sorry. I did not know what that word is so i looked it up and its a super old word used for japanese during ww2. I am not Japanese either? the town i live in is majority trump voters so idk if that affects anything or not. i am just very overwhelmed and i like American culture but i am not sure if I'm fond of the people I'm surrounded by right now. i really really really want to go home. ok rant over lol

this photo serves no purpose to my long essay i just thought it was cute
