那天帶女兒去dental appointment，完了在電梯裏我們倆一直聊天，有個上了年紀的白人，和我們從電梯裏出來後追上來問我， What's your original heritage? Are you Japanese? 我一邊回答， No， I'm Chinese. 一邊心想，他怎麽這麽問？果然，他接著說，Really? Korean was my second guess. You both were born here? 我說，No, I was not. 他看起來很驚訝地說， You have zero accent。 “Thank you。 ”I said. 他看起來很有興趣想繼續，我不想多羅嗦， Have a good day!就走了。

以前遇到這樣的人，總覺得人家這麽說是好意，會多聊幾句。現在心裏會覺得他們少見多怪，stereotyping. 而且總覺得他們有些white superimist的感覺， Asian women will never been a threat to them. That's why they're more lenient toward us. Republicans are full of people like this. 我們這裏是swing state之一，最近這根弦繃得比較緊。
