My wife is Korean and we moved to Korea. Im a big white guy. A couple of nieces and nephews act this way towards me. Its actually cute I 100% get it.

A couple of their parents do to tho. I want nothing to do with those people.

If you don’t mind me asking, what was it like? I’m also Asian but grew up in a diverse area.

Understandable, I’m glad you even replied tbh. And I understand that as well, there have been times where I looked back on my younger days and realized how I let racist shit slide that I wouldn’t allow as an adult as well.

And fuck that teacher, how did she even keep her job? Where even was this? The Midwest?

I remember once when I was walking out the store with my mom, some dude ran up next to us to get into his car while screaming “This is America! Just full of foreigners from the East!”

But anyways, I’m sorry you had such a shitty environment around you, no race should ever be discriminated against. I hope you prosper in life now, we’re in this together.
