We’re Not All Chinese, Nor Play Jokes, Nor Go Pee Pee In Your Cokes
For a while, I’ve noticed this. A situation occurs where your ethnicity is mentioned, and it feels like most of the time, non-Asians automatically assume you’re chinese. Two things can be basically going on in your mind:
1) You are Chinese and are like “Wow, you have a sixth sense of Asianness!”
2) You aren’t Chinese and [...]
Struggling Asians Get Swept Up With The “Outstanding”
“Asian” is a broad umbrella term. About 60% of the world’s population are Asians.
