I Took My White Husband's Last Name. I Didn't Realize It Would Affect The Rest Of My Life.

This poor girl has some problems

Growing up with the surname Shiozawa in a predominantly white community, I was “the Asian girl” wherever I went — sports, church, class, work. But I’ll never forget the first day of Algebra 2, when Haley Miyatake sat beside me, and we made eye contact. I felt a rush of relief with someone who, without a single word exchanged, understood my world.
White people like to comment on my eye shape, tugging at the corners of their own, critiquing mine as “not almond,” acting as self-appointed gatekeepers to my claim to Asian-ness. Others accuse me of mounting an attack on white people if I broach the subject of race. That I’m being oversensitive, choosing to be offended, or creating issues out of nothing. Or they ignore my experience altogether because they “don’t see color.”
A few years into my marriage, even my husband described me as being “raised white.” You know, yellow on the outside, white on the inside, like a banana.

Everyone loves to be a victim these days. It's so sad.

It always cracks me up to see how Asians get to go back and forth between being "white adjacent" and "people of color"

She's a clear mental basket, in any case.

Was in the movie Crazy Rich Asians, my wife wears it like badge of honor.

Asians really have a hard life being smarter and wealthier than us white and black people.

No, no they don’t. Not at all.

But as a multiracial person, I found I was considered an outsider just like my white classmates. In Japan, introductions begin with family name first: Shiozawa Arison desu. The look on Japanese faces as they analyzed mine, their wheels turning, was a look that was all too familiar. It’s the same one I’ve seen on countless faces when meeting other Americans: eyes narrowed, brow furrowed, and some iteration of “What are you?” or “Where are you from?” If my response includes city and state, I’m met with an eye roll. “No, but where are you from?” In both situations, the confusion is similar. In both situations, the message is the same: You don’t belong here.
Her experience in Japan makes me laugh. The Japanese are pretty racist. She will not be accepted fully as one of them. I think she wants to be fully Asian and she hates the white part of herself. American culture in general is very welcoming and open compared to most of the world. If she is going to belong anywhere, it is going to be here. She is just lost in who she is and lashing out at the wrong culture that she doesn’t want to be part of.
The people that keep blabbing on about Asian American attacks refuse to look at who is doing a majority of these attacks and why they occur. They want to blame it on a certain segment of the population when it is a different segment.

Reminds me of the Clarke Perkins bullshite.
They come up with these stories based on caricatures of what they think racists are like, because they can’t find real victimhood.
Although…
This dude is a straight up caricature
