Hi @random23
Welcome to Reachout! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions with us. I'm sorry to hear that you have been going through some struggles with adjusting to Australian culture.
From my personal experience, as a person who was born overseas, people just tend to flock to others of similar nature. Other international students might also feel more introverted in an unfamiliar country, and it's easier to relate and get along with those people who might be going through the same experiences as you. I also would not put too much stress on trying to go clubbing and partying if that is not something you are actually interested in.
I have a good social life, but I personally never go out clubbing. I know there can be pressure at uni to have to attend all these different events, but it does seem like you already found people you get along with outside of that. I personally don't think it's about racism, however, I'm also not informed enough to comment on that any further since it's a case-by-case basis.
I hope this can provide some insight and that you are feeling okay about things 💙
