Does anyone else find being hired difficult as Asians?

I just graduated from a teaching program and I find that I'm being passed over left and right by white female colleagues who are race-blind and privileged for teaching jobs which ASTOUNDS me because one of the core tenants of my school district is a dedication to cultural proficiency and closing the achievement gap. Asians are severely underrepresented in education with less than 5% of educators identifying as asian whereas 16% of the district identifies as Asian.

I was raised in a predominantly black and latino community and my best friends growing up were blacks and latinos, so much so that I feel "weird" around most white and quite frankly, asian people. However, I don't know if I'm pulling my "race card" but I feel that there's this unspoken prejudice against my ability as a teacher especially towards cultural proficiency because no one seems to acknowledge "asian people problems." I know there are a lot of negative stereotypes against asian american teachers as being cold and distant but I find it incredibly hard to believe I am cold when I regularly get black, latina, and asian girls to come by my room just to talk to me about their problems. And one of the (black) girls that is supposedly the "most dramatic" in my grade, came to me crying saying that I am the only teacher she can trust.

I find it difficult to keep my morale up when colleagues who change the subject when race is brought up are being "picked" over me, and academically we look identical on paper. The real kicker is that I even have a harder assignment than two of the girls I am talking about.

I find it hard to discuss my problems with my colleagues in recognizing the challenges I face; even my (white) boyfriend who's been in education for over a decade has been flippant about this prejudice I feel. I hate feeling like I'm "insane" or a "whiner" because I feel like my race is being held against me. I have no one looking out for me, no one supporting or identifying with me, which really is soul crushing because I thought I was doing something I believed in, I could make a difference, that I can motivate students the way my teachers motivated me when my parents were absentee. This is not a job you can "survive" without support because it's such a community-based career.

I know I have to be strong and "trudge" on, but I am starting to feel very foolish for pursuing this career. I'm a very intelligent woman and quite frankly, I could be living comfortably doing something else because I work hard, I'm smart, and I give a fuck about my job (perhaps too many fucks). I know I'm going to get shit for my 'wishful' thinking, believing I can address the clusterfuck that is public education. The most depressing thing is that the typical "fall back" job of teaching overseas is barely an option for me as an asian american female because I am not a white male so I'm not a bonafide american in the eyes of fellow Asians.
