WORD. I am blasian, and people (almost always white men) are relentless trying to figure this out. One man went red in the face after I'd dodged his questions: "NO, where are your PARENTS FROM?" He almost blew it when I replied innocently, "Why, they're both American citizens. Is that what you mean?" One man asked me…
I've gone through this too.

Was that not a feminist statement, highlighting the ridiculous use of women in pop videos? Lalala, yes it was, I can't hear…
