Hello. I am a member of my university’s Asian club. I live in an area with a small Asian population; it is so small that we’re labeled as “other” in a population chart. I joined the club to feel connected with my roots. It has been pretty fun, but the only thing that irks me are some of the club members. During the club’s Valentine’s Day party, a few girls brought their boyfriends and friends (who all happened to be white). I didn’t say anything as their relationships aren’t my business.
Those girls thought it would be “funny” if they physically pushed me towards their other white guy friends. I am not close to them at all; we’re not friends. I also was annoyed because why are you touching me? I told them straight up that I wasn’t interested in their friends. The girls got offended (I don't know why) when I spoke of my preference for Asian men; I even have a crush on one of the club members. They said that I was being discriminatory and rude.
They ignored me after that, but kept making comments about how I’m not a good club member. The club then celebrated LNY, and those group of girls were extremely disrespectful. Even those in the club who don’t celebrate it, were respectful and open to learning about it. At least not everyone in the club is like them.
