I would not change who I am today and actually with those awful people, I kinda thank. They've made me a stronger person.
Also, I love how every Asian is Chinese. What ignorant people don't realize is there are many different Asian countries with different Asian people. Not everyone is Chinese. Just ignorance.
Also, it's Oriental food and Asian people. Loved the term Oriental people. Whatever  |
When I was young and went to grad school in New York, I had never been around many Asian people. I accidentally, out of ignorance, referred to someone as "Oriental." I cried for two days because I had messed up and offended her!
