"As a student traveling abroad you may be concerned about potential racial bias and prejudice without your usual support system. Or, you may be looking forward to being part of the majority population for the first time in your life. You may find that confronting and coping to a community with a different racial and ethnic makeup can be a learning experience." - Michigan State University's Michigan State University's 多样性 Abroad: Race and Ethnicity 

在国外，你可能首先被认为是美国人. They people you meet will likely have an opinion about the US and make assumptions based on your physical appearance. "If somebody says or does something that is offensive to you, try to distinguish between a person who is genuinely curious about you and your culture and someone who has bad intentions. You may find yourself in some uncomfortable situations, and always remember to put your safety first." - 国外的种族多样性 & 少数民族留学生
