Today in class, a white guy said that I was going to ace the Spanish finals

I’m Vietnamese and French.MLIAsian

Today, during class, I hunched over my desk looking at the handout sheet my teacher gave. 30 seconds in, she yelled “____ Wake up!” in the end I wasn’t asleep, my eyes are just small.

One afternoon, I was flying to Southern California for a job interview. I ordered coffee from the stewardess. Later on, I started a conversation with the person sitting next to me. He was surprised when I told him how old I am — 22. “I thought you were 15, or maybe 18 after you ordered coffee,” he told me.
Sigh, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.
