那天带女儿去dental appointment，完了在电梯里我们俩一直聊天，有个上了年纪的白人，和我们从电梯里出来后追上来问我， What's your original heritage? Are you Japanese? 我一边回答， No， I'm Chinese. 一边心想，他怎么这么问？果然，他接着说，Really? Korean was my second guess. You both were born here? 我说，No, I was not. 他看起来很惊讶地说， You have zero accent。 “Thank you。 ”I said. 他看起来很有兴趣想继续，我不想多罗嗦， Have a good day!就走了。

以前遇到这样的人，总觉得人家这么说是好意，会多聊几句。现在心里会觉得他们少见多怪，stereotyping. 而且总觉得他们有些white superimist的感觉， 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. 我们这里是swing state之一，最近这根弦绷得比较紧。
