It matters how you are treated by the majority and how large your minority is.

If you're a 1% minority and have little to no effect on the rest of the people - they won't care. If you're about 10% or so and have a negative effect (the minority as a whole) on the majority, you won't be treated as well.

Oh God, an Asian in America is nothing like an American in Asia.

It depends on the racism factor.

when you see another person of your same minority, it gives you a sense of pride
