I was as American as an apple pie, until one day, on the third grade playground, the inevitable finally happened, i got teased for being Chinese, now every kid gets teased or made fun of on the playground, but this was foundamentally different and i knew right and then there, this kid let's call him Brian mckelory , he stared making fun of me, saying Chinese Japanese dirty knees look at these, i can't believe you are laughing at that that hurts, okay i'm just kidding.
