Yellow

" Yellow skin

它賦予我了如夢般的天賦

(it has gifted me talent as good as a dream(?))

all eyes on me

我比誰都要看的更加清楚

(i see it clearer than anyone else(?))

我遍地鱗傷

(i'm hurt all over)

那又能怎樣

(but what can i do)

不懂得隱藏

(i don't know how to hide it)

想回到故鄉

(i'm homesick/i want to go back to my own country)"

This is an excerpt from a song. I'm not going to say what song it's from... don't ask. So, my parents and I have been looking up info and talking to agents on overseas studying. One of my biggest worries(?) is this. Yellow skin.

Okay, this may sound bizarre and disgusting but I remember said something like I dislike my nationality in primary school. I know, I know, that's really really bad. Although I do believe there are many anti-racist people in the world, there are still some who are just... racist, I guess.

My worries are valid though, right? I've been talking to a friend who's going this year and they have the same thoughts as I do. Like what if the teacher is racist? Plus it'd be extra hard to find a job. I know it's sad and all, but it's the reality. Do I not choose to go to the country I like most and go to one that welcomes yellow skins more, or do I pretend to not see the racism?
