traveling, knowing I wouldn't be targeted because I'm Asian (like the
attacks that occurred after Covid hit).
Tell.
Something I wouldn't normally tell others would bethat sometimes I
wish I was a "cooler" "type" of Asian, one that doesn't fit into
stereotypes. With regard to Asia, despite all itsflaws it will always be

Correct.
While in India, a group of locals started making jokesabout how
"chinks" get their names: by using onomatopoeia ofcutlery/utensils
dropped on the floor. This was my first racist experience(from what I

To someone.
There's a lot of racism within Asia as well so I wouldlike for us to
celebrate what we have in common and respect whatmakes us
different.
(I'm still confused about my ethnicity as my countryis so small and a
lot of our terminology is local.)
