Because being an Asian on MAL (like this fellow OP referred to) is like being a Jew during the 1940s.

What? Even if they are bullied that is nothing like being a Jew in Nazi Europe.
bullied lol

cant even recall the last time i saw someone getting bullied because of being asian, esp online

"YO ASIAN I BET U FEEL INSECURE CUZ U HAS A SMALL DICK AMIRITE"
"YO ASIANS AND UR SLANTED EYES WTF"

I guess?

It's quite ironic I always learned in school that we are from Asia ,so I always thought we are all relatives . I mean like Chinese and others besides Arabs ,but just when I grew up a little and went on the internet I discovered otherwise .. lol

Long story short , People sometimes suffer irl ,so adding to their suffering online is quite painful considering the racists bs they might face along their life.

They're ashamed of it, most of them have inferiority complex and are afraid of white/blonde people rejecting them or not taking them seriously by belonging to an inferior race.

I had no idea anyone was afraid to reveal their race.

I know my best friend is black, and I thought he was a white girl when we first met. xD

No way, I have the same problem! I go up to people thinking that they're little white girls, but when I get within 2 inches of them I see that they're actually gigantic black men in booty shorts.

Is it really bad? They just don't want to be associated with a group. It's just because people don't talk the same way to a black, to an indian, to a swedish, to an american, to a mexican. They just want to avoid this kind of differences.

I agree.
Maybe this user is not revealing their race b/c it doesn't matter?
Will not knowing this piece of information change your perception of them?
C'mon its not a matter of insecurities or afraid of being bullied, its just an unimportant detail here on MAL.

You could be everything in our multicultural society, I wouldn't care and I wouldn't wonder. even an alien wouldn't surprise me to be honest

@ topic: I don't believe in human races, because the genetics of everyone are too close for that imho and I don't prejudge people based on their family background alone.
And since I don't believe in that stuff, there's no reason to proclaim loudly my apparently Aryan, Caucasian called race.

I used to believe that, but if you research the topic, you'll find that human races are actually very distinct and real.

Well, there's a shitload of racism threads, and I've seen multiple people not giving a fuck about the Palestine/Isreal incident. (I give a fuck, but I can't do anything)

racists are scary man. i met one in the woods the other day. i'm white and so was he but it still freaked me out lol. i wouldn't be afraid to reveal it though, it is your skin after all.

I read that as "races (the running/driving kind) are scary man. i met one in the woods one day" - I was like, how did you meet a race?

Back on topic - some people just don't feel comfortable letting information about them float around the internet.

Racists. The anime community is really diverse as in both the far left and far right are on here and they will take advantage of what race you are to belittle you or praise you etc. I’m not scared but I don’t go around telling people my race bc it’s not needed most of the time. People can usually guess what my race is when I use human emojis (Biracial white-black💁🏽‍♀️) though I’m more of a toffe cream color.

I'm white, but I'm guessing this is refering to other people.
In communities that have a racism problem, I can imagine this being a concern.
The anime community is pretty broad though.
