Swastikas painted on our house when I was a kid.
Kids yell in the public park tell me that I have to go back. When pushing my son in a stroller.
Getting told that I will have to pay for stuff when I pick it up at the store at Dollywood, like I don't know how a merchant economy works.
Had to fight a lot in the feral public school system growing up. All the ching chong jokes.
Being referred to as "chowie" by a prominent basketball scout while in high school.
Being asked if I eat dogs by my boss. In 2023.
Being asked if my mom was an Asian whore by another boss. In 2018.
Being told that I'm not Asian and that some white girl looks more Asian than me and how can I even claim to be Asian when I don't have squinty eyes?
Jokes about my ancestry when they can't place me.
Being pulled into secondary every time I travel through Paris CDG because I always get flagged. And one Securitas security officer telling me that Americans will never accept me as American when I finished.
Dating scene as a teen, everything going well, then meeting the parents, then being told I wasn't allowed to date their white daughter anymore. Like clockwork. Which is fine, they can't handle the spice in my food anyway.
ALL of the ching chong jokes, lots of dog-eating comments, being told I wasn't welcome in white gf's family, etc. I feel that.
