Ethnic groups, feeling left out.
I just want to know if anyone else is feeling this way cause it’s something I’ve been feeling a lot. Within a country theres usually different ethnic groups which share things in common like the things they cook but I feel like there’s a divide. Bewteen culture, language and history.
Now on to my actual point, all of my friends are from the same country I am but we don’t share the same ethnic group. And all the people I’ve met from my country are from that ethnic group bar one but he’s half mine and half there’s. So as much as we get on it feels like there’s like a divide there, especially with languages.
They speak there language quite frequently when we’re hanging out with larger group of people from our country and it just causes me to feel left out.
I know it’s not done with ill intent but I just feel so disconnected. It feels as if sometimes I have to be apart of there culture because none of them are in mine.
This is not me complaining about them as friends because I’ve had lots of friends from that ethnic group and I’ve felt the same divide. Also my ethnic community is smaller compared to there’s just in general like a 1:3 ratio I’d say. And I live in a relatively small town so it’s really not easy to find someone from my ethnic group.
