When I was little, and growing up in the dairy farmlands of Harrisonburg, nobody in that hicksville had any idea what a Korean person was.\u00a0 All through elementary school, people always gave me the “are you Chinese or Japanese?” schtick, like a real-life\u00a0King of the Hill<\/em>.\u00a0 When I said no to both, most people were absolutely baffled, and had no idea of what possible alternatives there could be to Chinese or Japanese people.<\/span><\/p>\n

A long while ago<\/a>, I wrote about a how a kid in my neighborhood apparently thought I was Spanish, and said “hola” to me.\u00a0 Throughout the last few months, this kid has seen me a few times during my morning jogs, and has said “hola” to me on all those instances.\u00a0 Because I’m not Spanish, I do not respond ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just the other night, while I was out on my evening jog, I ran by two little batarians, to which one of them said “hola” to me.\u00a0 Seeing as how I was now right next to the kid, I finally said, “I’m not Spanish.\u00a0 You don’t have to say ‘hola’ to me.<\/em>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Being in numbers often times creates a false sense of courage in kids, so the other kid laughed, and began motoring his mouth as I proceeded to leave them behind.\u00a0 In the midst of my pulling away I heard “So what are you?\u00a0 French?\u00a0 Italian?\u00a0 You speak Japanese?<\/em>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow.\u00a0 Aside from being Spanish, I’m mistaken for a French person, or an Italian person, before even hitting the continent of Asia?\u00a0 Man, these little black kids live in a sheltered world.\u00a0 I’m actually surprised at how dumb these kids are going to grow up to be.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
