Seriously... you had white people tell you to get double eyelid surgery? I'd be surprised if more than a small minority of non-Asian heritage people in North America even know what that is.


I apologize for the communication error.

My family pushed hard for it. They were discriminated against, and wanted me to be successful no matter what/do anything to get any edge.

If it meant looking and acting "white", I need to do it.

It was a strong moment of realization, that in America I'm an "other", that I am not white.
