<p>Here is what happened:</p>
<p>I was a fresher walking around Uni and happily getting involved in many socials.</p>
<p>Two weeks later, A student (who has the same ethnicity) happened to be in a same group project.</p>
<p>I did not give a damn particularly about that student. </p>
<p>I spent most of my life abroad and ethnicity matters did not concern me at all and I did not think it was any of my business.</p>
<p>After the group discussion, the student came approach me although I did not express any personal interest and started telling me why he could not speak fluent English at the meeting and that because he was tired.</p>
<p>I clearly felt that he felt inferiority over me and wanted to mediate his inferior feeling by giving me a excuse although I did not look down on him or asked about anything.</p>
<p>It gave me very weird feeling about the person to why he had to tell me something I did not want to hear/interested.</p>
<p>Well, I did not give a damn at the time, and was just being polite and that ended like that.</p>
<p>Since then, I noticed him on campus sometimes and just simply greeted, he asked me to attend some ethnic group gathering or something but I was not interested and I replied politley most of the time (that I might).</p>
<p>But then it was a month later since I attended the college.</p>
<p>The student and another student (same ethnicity) came approached me while I was buying something and as soon as the student saw me, he went introducing another person like a big deal "he’s the president of the ethnic group’</p>
<p>It was a mixed feeling, I clearly felt the intention of the student. He wanted to influence me by introducing me some very ‘powerful’ student (as they think). It was like he is trying to say that he is not someone to be looked down.</p>
<p>Another student, out of nowhere, asked my number like an order. It was not asking. It was like I was obliged to give him my number. I was a bit confused at the time and just gave him my number.</p>
<p>At this point, I was offended and I disliked they behaved and believed like there were senior and somewhat superior students because they believed their rank was higher in that ethnic group.</p>
<p>When I came back to my dormitory, I wrote a piece of letter saying ‘I dont want to join you guys whatever that is’</p>
<p>Still I was offended on what happened even after writing a letter, I searched about the ethnic group, I was aware of that I did not see any of their group during the university club gathering.</p>
<p>the next day, I went to the students union to see whether they group exists.</p>
<p>The person in charge confimed that there is no such a group at university.</p>
<p>I wanted show them whatever that group is it is not a big deal and I officially registered the ethnic group.</p>
<p>They were acting like very important people at uni before I officially registered the group. They had no actual power or legitimate right on what they were doing. They were not recognized, not official and it was nobody. And I effectively proved that they were nothing.</p>
<p>Since then, those group of ethnic students drummed all their ethnic students and gazed at me, insulted in their ethnic language whenever I passed them, criticized me for being unethical, reported to seniors, preyed to give me consequences in the future ethnic job market and trashed me among all ethnic students and so on. The ethnic student whom I met at the group discussion seemed very happy because he could overcome his personal problem by criticizing and trashing me among all ethnic students. It seemed like he found very entertaining activity.</p>
<p>It gives me so much stress. Can anyone help</p>
