Please help! Why am i so self hating? :(?

im not going to tell you my ethnicity/religon. all im gonna say is that for some reason i hate myself because of it. I know its pathetic and its wrong and stupid, and that theres nothing i can do about it. But for some reason, i feel inferior to everyone else around me (of all races). I havent personally experienced any racism at all but i am extremely paranoid about it and its starting to eat me up :s i dont know why i feel this way. I even contemplated lying about my ethnicity. Also, having people who are extremely prejudice around where i live is getting to me. I keep thinking that if people find out, theyll start treating me differently or hate me.. this is really making me depressed. please help!
