I spent my elementary school in a predominantly White rural area. I'm Asian. I literally cried myself to sleep sometimes because I didn't fit in. It was really unhealthy to the point that I was insecure of everything. I also ate my lunch by myself after seeing my classmates make fun of my "Asian" lunch. I had a close friend at the time (typical blonde hair, blue eyes type), but he was into me because he thought I was exotic or whatever, it was awful. I tried to be like everyone else so no one would bother me.
Everything changed when I moved to a bigger city for high school with more diverse students, people were less judgemental. I can relate to Nicole in a sense that I also overcame those insecurities and learned to accept who I am. This is why I am such a big Nicole fan, I can relate to her a lot.

I'm Asian too and I always stayed alone. It was better than being humiliated or ignored all the time. It got better in high school because people were nicer, but by that time I was so used to be alone and I didn't know how to do something so simple as make friends. I'm still working on it.
I didn't know Nicole's story until I signed up to ATRL last year and read the stuff posted. I liked her before, but now I like her more.
