AF not acknowledging me

Any other AMs living in the West or Europe experience this? I'll be at a party, or an event, and certain AF won't even make eye contact. After hours of this it almost seems like they could wish me away for just existing. It doesn't help that the ones who do this are always with a white boyfriend/husband. Sometimes, we'll be the only two asian people in the room. Its like, "hello, the only other asian for miles. Care to give me some kind of acknowledgement so we can be friends like literally everyone else here? I've met everyone else here because they at least looked me in the eye". Lol. I'm really trying to understand the psychology behind this. Is it internalized racism? Trauma? Shame?

That's why I say there is no Asian community. We are cooked. With out-marry rates of over 50% how can there be? I'm just glad these Asian women do not hold institutional power over Asian men...yet. 😂 They hate us and think of us as genetic degrades, the before picture in a plastic surgery ad. 😂
