In fact, this semester, I had to switch professors because the professor immediately pointed me out being the only Asian and how “Asians never get anything wrong on tests.” Even when I didn’t get the answer correct on my first try later on in the class, the professor still said, “See. Asian.” Honey, no. Get it out of your head that just because I’m Asian, it means that I am smart and immune to error. It’s actually quite the opposite, I’m not the brightest of the bunch when it comes to academics, and it’s not because of my race, it’s because of who I am.
One thought on “a part of my piece”

If you are being talked to with the words, “See. Asian.” I’d report that professor to the dean. There is no reason for them to judge you based on your race, gender, religion, or family origin. Absolutely no excuse.
