    Veiled? Must be nice.Haha

    I remembered going to a friend’s house and the dad put his hand at my chest and looked at me dead in the eye and asked. “Are you Vietnamese?”

    “No sir, I’m Taiwanese”.

    “Oh ok, you’re ok to come in. I did some R&R there and you people are all right”

    That situation would have been way worse if I was from Vietnam.

    I lived in Bohemia which is next to Patchogue. It’s a terrible place to live if you’re a minority.
