Have you ever had an experience like this? Let us know in the comments!
when I was in 3rd grade our year long project was to pick and research a country that our family was from. I picked Laos, I am more Lao than white so that was an obvious choice. Part of the project was to present what we learned and share a food. Not one person in a class of 30 would try it, not even the teacher. It was my favorite Lao dessert that my mom and I spent all night making in individual servings- banana and coconut sticky rice. I went home crying that day and even felt ashamed of my heritage. Not even the teacher who was an adult had a open mind to eat a banana and rice. Now as an Asian American adult I love and embrace my culture and i am so proud/thankful for my family’s journey
Justina George Thank you for sharing! ❤️
See in my school white kids are the minorities because I am in Texas but no not really, im Chinese but no one really says stuff like that but only when they joke around. You should have ask sone men too just to see their side of the story in the video.
