Their wrong and prove it everyday. Time to forget about him and do what it takes to make you a better person even in small towns there are good people seek them out. Improve your English by studying. . Many times roommates make bad bedfellows. seek other options.
 
I recently moved to a small town after losing my job in a big city. I entered a lease with 3 other roommates living in a house. I am not American but the other three roommates are. One of them is very judgemental.

He makes very strong judgement against me because we are very different person. My english has gotten worse because we dont really have a lot in common and I got constantly picked on. He is the kind of uneducated white kid that used to have a lot of criminal records and got bad credit issue. Not that I dont want to learn american culture. But he really gave me negative immpression based on our difference. His ignorance makes me harder to relate to him on top of our different background. He thinks that I am too spoiled to be fit into the American culture though I spent past 6 years living in the US and had friends in my previous city. I am still trying to get my driver license (never have to drive in NYC) while getting a job in this town. He kept making things harder for me. I dont know why. I had no problem communicating with other two roommates. But I feel slowly isolated as my english get worse because his ignorance.

I feel lonely and isolated. I dont want to cause any roommate conflict. I am not sure he is right or not. but I certainly need to take some times to adjust the small town life where diversity is non existent here. Right now, they do things without inviting me to join. I feel very discouraged to relate to them.

Anyone has any suggestion?
 
It sounds bad, no one should have to put up with things like that. Maybe you could try to bond over something hes into, to show him that their is no reason you cant get along.
