I am not okay

Am I the asshole? I hear a lot of comments from my "friends" that Chinese people are inherently racist because they don't like how Chinese people "look at them." They say that they're just joking whenever I tell them to stop and I am being oversensitive to this stuff. That's not even mentioning all the other "jokes" about how eugenics was "not that bad" or "might actually be a good idea." I try to bring up that this stuff is actually offensive and I get shot down every time because I'm apparently the only one who finds it unfunny. Since when was killing an entire race of people funny? I don't even know why I stick around these people. Maybe it's because I've been friends with them for some time and it'd be weird if I suddenly wasn't. But I guess when kids grow up, they can become terrible adults. It was naive of me to hope that those kids I've been friends with for years would always remain innocent and unproblematic. It's fine though. Because in about half a year, I'll graduate and I'll never have to see them again.
