I’m not really offended by anything people say for the most part. Could be for a number of reasons. Could be the fact that I live in Southern California, or maybe because people don’t know/don’t care what ethnicity I am. But I know one thing for sure. I am Japanese and break all stereotypes out there. I am not the best student. Math is definitely one of my worst subjects. I do eat rice every day, however, I am mediocre at best while using chopsticks. My driving isn’t terrible, but my significant other begs to differ. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoy my ethnic background and embrace it whenever someone’s curiosity peaks and they gain the courage to ask. I am blessed at the fact that I do not live in an area with much racial profiling or discrimination, I do know that it is still very much prevalent.
