    Your Japanese is pretty good for your age. I bet you can speak well since you started learning it so early in your life.

    "Half" can be a word for 差別 because there are half-Japanese foreigners living in Japan. It used to be so "unusual" to see those kids back then. To somewhat make fun of them, other kids called them "half".

    Nowdays, there are many of them in schools, so they got used to seeing them around, realizing they have got an advantage of speaking another language at home (usually English that they are jealous of). Not to mention, usually those kids got good looking, of which they are also jealous. That's why being a "half" is considered as being cool.

    Trust me, most Japanese think any foreigner is cool when he/she speaks Japanese well. You can be a popular person just because of that! (it's really possible)
