I'm asian but all the people I look up to are white? Can some psychologists help me out? I don't know why I'm feeling this way but I feel like there's no hope of becoming the person I want to be because of my race. I don't know the psychology behind this...but I feel really trapped because of the colour of my skin. I am by no means racist...but with all the stereotypes and everything the media portrays about "my race", I just feel really hopeless. I'm 15, and all of my role models and mentors are all caucasian. The person that I really want to grow up to be seems to fit all the caucasian stereotypes, but I dont know why I think this, but I just feel that because I am my race I have to fit in all those stereotypes. I don't know how to put it in words but it's really is a depressing and hopeless feeling...I feel like I hate my life. Can any psychologists help me out?
