@minasisley: The shock in the room when I switched from French to southern American was something I’ll remember always #southern #paris #raciallyambiguous #expats
To be clear, the description is not a judgment, it’s a painting of the scene. The American south, like most places, has a very distinctive style which is why I could see them from a mile away. I recognize my neighbors when I see em. The point is I don’t fit the style you’d normally see on someone from my hometown. :)

i’m chindian, conversational in both cantonese and mandarin, but my (ethnically chinese) mom can’t speak mandarin… so whenever we go to china we always get strange looks when i’m translating for her not the other way round 😭

Better to describe the clothes as straight outta the Belkes, leave these Yankees culturally flummoxed.

Loved it, till you had to mention her hair, their clothes or their assumed religion. Adding "no hate, no shade" doesn't undo the obvious shade. You ended up being as judgemental about their appearance or assumed background, as you suggested that they would be about yours. But good news: It seems humans are all the same.
