    2008 Beijing olympics.

    I was in high school and the teacher (who said that if you make racist remarks in her class, she’ll kick you out of the course) decided to show a comedy show where the journalist went to a Chinese night market and show people they have roast insects, animal penises and shit like that to eat.

    For 2 days i got mocked/asked in a belittle tone why my ‘‘people eat those stuff’’

    You would think that it was just young people being stupid and ask stupid shit. 2020, covid hits and Canada decided to go WFH, my manager decided to say: ‘‘wow those mesures seem dragonian, but you (refering to me), you are used to it consider you come from China’’

      This reminds me of an old friend I had at work.

      She was in HR and looking to hire a new employee and she complained to me about how all the people applying weren’t from the country and they weren’t capable of doing the job because they didn’t know how to behave…

      At the end of her small rant I guess she realized I was one of those “outsiders” and then she said “oh but you’re one of the good ones!”

        An immigrant’s acceptance is always conditional and you shouldn’t show dissent towards the white master. This is why most of the gen 2 asian immigrants are all apolitical or outright anti-country of origin and has a mostly white friend circle
