In a continuation of the number one most asked question towards me ever, my Languages of Communication professor was going around the table last week, asking every minority “where they were from”.
“Well, I’m from here-“ I started.
“Right” he laughs, “From Colorado or something, right?”
“…But my family is from Hong Kong.”
This has become my answer crafted from years of being
subject to the gamut of everything from “what ethnicity are you?” to the even
more eloquent “what are you?”
