Indirect victim of racism?
I'm an indirect victim of racism. People (or few guys, always GUYS) in my class are always making jokes regarding to my race and it's really hurtful and they act as if I'm/we're not even in the same room as them! And some people laugh as well!
I understand that some people are kinda ify about it and they laugh kind of as a defense system but if they feel that it's wrong, they should at least not laugh!
I want to just tell them/him off; I fele anger radiating throughout my body. But I don't know why, tears just seem so come out as my first adrenaline reaction or something so I can't expect to say stop with tears! What can I do?

You need to confront them and make them aware of what they are doing they won't know unless you tell them make them realize that what they are saying to you is really hurtful tell them what they are doing isn't right and you'd like for them to stop seeing as their words are hurting you..you should never allow anyone to be mean to you or push you around that includes them you've got to defend and stick up for yourself especially when it comes to racist comments being said the way you are reacting is normal you've got to pull yourself together even though it won't be easy and tell them to stop otherwise they will continue to do what they've been doing you don't deserve to have that being said to you that goes for anyone elese as well if you can't get them to stop tell your teacher what's happening i'm sure they'll be able to make it stop for good(:

First off, those guys need to stop. Unless the teacher's in on it, let the teacher know what's going on so he/she can look out for it and take disciplinary action.
I know what it's like to be so angry that involuntary tears suddenly come rushing out like crazy. If you think you can push down your anger for long enough to tell them off, go for it. You can even tell them off and add a little humor to it.
If you tell them off in a funny way, more people will be on your side of the argument and realize that you're a better person than these jerks. You know the saying don't fight fire with fire? It's absolutely true in this case. Don't react seriously at first. Just crack a joke, but a joke that at the same time lets him know at the same time that what he's saying isn't going to fly.
It's a shame people are so ignorant and discriminate based on race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. It sucks, but unfortunately in our time, it's life.
