There are times when you think your white/non-ethnic friends are ready to be able to deal with it, and you tell them stuff and they react to totally the wrong thing. For example, you're like, "Yeah my parents said I couldn't go", and they're like, "What? You still have to ask your parents? But you're over 18!!" when the point of the matter was the fact that you can't go. Someone who understood would be like, "What, that sucks, can't you convince them? Do you want my parents to call them?"
It's even funnier when people, ethnic as well as non, act like they're totally cultured and in the know. Actually, it's not funny, it's just boring.
Anyway. Then you have other people who are constantly telling you not to conform, and just want you to do everything that they do, the way that they do. When they do something and you ask them if they seriously did it, they respond with, "Oh, what, I thought everyone was doing that now, you should as well, there's totally nothing wrong with it."
It leaves you not knowing whether to be annoyed or disappointed.
true that. however, i'm not at that stage yet. for me people just assume i'm unable to do stuff.
ReplyDeleteyou know, i wrote you a whole essay but i realised it sounded weird. maybe the fact that it's the middle of the night and i'm half asleep has something to do with it. oh well. :P
just thought you should know, i've been entertaining myself by feeding the fishies on your page for at least the past ten minutes. kinda weird seeing as how i could just go to the kitchen and do it in person.
