Racism

I can recall the times that I have gotten defensive on behalf of my mother and I can identify with Loeong's feelings. I remember that one time, while it was not a direct insult to my mother, the other adult was saying things that I knew hurt my mother's feelings. A fire started to burn inside me and I tried very hard to hold it in, because I knew that if I let it out it would only make things worse, since the other adult was comparing his child to me. A comparison that obvious put his child above me; more superior than I am. Of course I was also angry on behalf of myself but I can recall the feeling of wanting to prove to the adult that my mother was doing a great job parenting. There have been other times when I got defensive when we were out and a couple of strangers started to get aggressive with my mom while fighting over a taxi. We were in Shanghai and the people there could tell that we are from outside of Taiwan.We ended up being kicked out by the driver himself. Racism involves difference that one see in another that causes a sense of disdain. Its a prejudice with hate.
