Harder to recognize

I didn't really like think that much of it until I was In Boston, and my mom, who, like I said, looks Asian and looks, she looks very mixed, she does not look white. And we were driving, and my mom parallel parks into a parking stall. And this man, who's this white man, probably drove, was driving like a BMW, like that sort of guy, pulls up next to us and starts yelling at her about how she took her parking stall and how she was rude and like, he pretty much like cussed her out for taking her parking stall.

And my mom was like, sorry, I can move, I didn't realize that you were trying to go. And so we left and I just thought of it as like, oh that's just how people are when it comes to driving and then afterwards she was like but if we were with your dad who - my dad's like a white man from the South Virginia - my mom was like he probably wouldn't have acted that way towards us and it made me ...that was probably one of the experiences that I was like, oh, like race is a big deal.

Because growing up, it was very ignorant of me but I was like, oh Black and white, sort of, that was the way that I was raised and so with the whole Black Lives Matter Movement, I was like, oh this doesn't really, not like it doesn't apply to me, but I had never really seen Asian hate crimes so that's why, like, when that happened to us on the street in Boston, my immediate reaction was like, not to go to race.
