I'm not Chinese but also East Asian, and I had pretty much the same experience as you growing up. Going through this thread, I'm really beginning to think people can't understand why it's a problem unless they've been through it themselves. Whereas before, I was rather complacent in my belief that it was rather obvious.

Yeah. Quite a few of my Asian friends report similar experiences, and quite a few of my white friends are horrified to hear how common this was. They can't imagine dealing with it on a near-daily basis, for years, from multiple sources and with nobody batting an eye.

And yet you still meet people who seem blissfully unaware that it's an extremely common problem. I guess if you lack firsthand experience, it's much easier to convince yourself that minorities are making a big fuss over nothing or just being "sensitive".

I don't think I'm particularly sensitive. I told no one about what was happening, except my parents, who explained that people could be unfeeling and mean but that what they said wasn't true. Those racist assholes never made me cry or made me want to kill myself. Most of them never physically touched me. But I remember each and every last one of them and what they did and wonder what kind of people they grew up to be.

Reading this thread, I think maybe I know, and that makes me sad.
