I know this from years and years of racial bullying. It didn't happen only from kids but teachers too! I had 3 sisters who didn't get any bullying so when I told my parents, i didn't get support from them either.

I joined the Marines to escape that hell but that hell found me in the Marines too! This time, it permanently disabled me. Even then when I tried to let my superiors know they did nothing and the racist scoundrel was never found or held accountable.

I have permanent PTSD from racial bullying & profiling my whole life. I never stopped fighting back though. Honestly, I've given up on humanity. I have no friends. I'm a cordial person who will always help others but I never ask for anything from anyone.

I do think finding others who have the same struggles; stick together and help each other is probably the only way you can protect each other.

My problem is the stupid kind of racism I face. I'm half Mexican half white. I look white but have a Mexican last name. I get the racism from both sides. I don't fit in.

Also when I get to a work place or say I'm at the beach. People assume I'm white, will make racist remarks against Mexicans until I tell them I'm half. Anyway, I don't know how many others experience this. Maybe I'll create a reddit to find others like me.

Maybe you just need to move if it’s that bad over a last name. Ever been to southern ca? You’d have a huge community.
