Help me, please!!!! I'm desperately in love, but something's gone TERRIBLY wrong. What should I do?!

I have been in tình yêu with this close "friend" of mine for three years now. I can't get him off of my mind. I bọc him around my thoughts constantly. He is sincere, devoted, completely and utterly selfless, compassionate, understanding, endearing, charming, and beautiful. He's perfect. Blonde hair, blue eyes, dazzling smile that makes me want to faint. It's not his appearance that attracts me so, though. It is his character. He will go out of his way to do anything for anyone at any được trao time. He makes sacrifices for total strangers. He is the most charitable person I have ever met, as well as the most amiable person I have ever encountered. His compassion for the less fortunate is SO admirable, especially to me, since I've always been heavily involved in missionary work since I was a little kid. He's been everything to me: an intimate friend, a comforter, a voice of reason, and someone who I can lean on whenever I need help. I don't deserve his love, obviously, and I try to be there for him as much as he is for me. But...something I NEVER saw coming hit me like a speeding, out of control train. His (almost) exact words were this, "I tình yêu you, Summer, but I don't intend to ngày colored girls like yourself. You're one of my closest friends, but that's all we'll ever be. You're Indian and I'm British. Do bạn honestly think it would EVER work out?" His sarcastic tone struck me deeply. He loved me, but at the same time, he doesn't because of my heritage? I was raised in America since I was 3. I speak like an American, I act like any other American girl...I couldn't and still CAN'T believe he believes that he can't tình yêu me because of my SKIN COLOR?!! How could we be such intimate Những người bạn for SO long (3 yrs!!) without me knowing that he felt this way? I thought tình yêu has no limits? I thought skin color was just a color and had absolutely nothing to do with love? Despite all this, I STILL tình yêu him to death; I tình yêu him thêm than I tình yêu myself. He's taught me how to care deeply
