asia
full of discrimination and stereotypes haha
they specifically want to hire a female here for the two additional teachers they need to replace because they don't think males are organized enough

nah not really
we're just a small company that sell very specific products to a niche market
I feel like I need more asian role models
I've never wanted to be white more than I have living abroad these past 6 years

Oh I see. lol
I have an asian role model! Since I was a teen I've looked up to Namie Amuro.
I also look up to Dwayne Wade (a NBA basketball player). And I'm a white girl lol
Inuyasha music lol
Plus there was a Japanese music show that I would watch on an Asian TV channel we had. I don’t remember the name of the show, but it showed her music video WoWa and I learned it was the same as one of the singers on the inuyasha music I had. Then I looked into her music more and then her more.
I just love how strong of a person she is, how she can adapt but always be herself, she is beautiful and a great singer and I love singing and have been in many choirs.
I’m sad that I never got to see her live. I tried in 2018 during her last tour but I didn’t get picked from the lotto to be able to buy tickets. :(
Now that I’m older I realize that it’s a little unusual for people to look up to, or identify with people that are of a different background to them or a different skin color etc etc
But honestly I never thought it to be weird and would relate to them on a personality level.
As a teen I really didn’t understand it. I just thought I liked her and i didn’t think about that we looked different or spoke a different language.
Another example would be it took me two years to realize that I would be the only white person in line at the boba shop. I just like what I like and don’t try things or not try things because of what’s normal for my family or race.

it's not weird for the POC kids growing up in north america consuming media that is largely white-centric
you don't need to be the same race or gender as them to be able to connect with and relate to them
like i wish we had more role models in the anglosphere but it is what it is
there's more diversity now but it's still not enough but that's a whole other topic LOL
Exactly and thanks. I think that some of my white family thinks I’m weird or grew up weird because I was a white girl that liked/likes ‘Asian’ stuff. Even though I would say it’s totally normal. They told me they thought I was going to end up with an Asian guy and I was like I don’t care about what race the guy is I’ll date Asian, White, Black, whatever.
I didn’t mean to make this about race either in your thread ^^; we can change the subject. Lol
I wish there was better representation of POC and just another cultures that aren’t American in America. It’s kinda sad how many people are in their own little bubble and don’t even want to leave.
I actively avoided anything asian related growing up
to be as normal as possible

-hugs- I understand. :( I didn't care about being normal or bullied, I just liked what I liked. lol
I'm sorry that it had to be that way for you. I hope that kids growing up now don't have to experience that. In just 20 years I feel like the demographics have really changed in this country (for the better) and I hope that lets kids growing up be themselves.
