Answer #1

people are people no matter the color of their skin. you may think they are staring but in reaity they may be looking at you bc you are looking at them.

Answer #2

All I can say is ignore color, change is sometimes hard but years of evolution have allowed us to adapt , and I think you can too.

Answer #3

maybe they just think your good looking

Answer #4

It’s just something that takes time - you’ll start to feel more comfortable once you’re used to it. I know how you feel - I live in a town where its pretty much all white people (like myself) then I go to Toronto to visit where there are many different races and it makes me feel like everyone is staring. It’s a really uncomfortable situation but you’ll learn to accept it, good luck. :)

Answer #5

was it necessary to capitalize “white”…
