[J.M. Kim]

As an Asian-American adoptee, I also have received less than polite treatment … from my fellow Koreans! I always assumed it was because they somehow knew I was adopted. I believe there isn’t an overall reason for why this happens. For many, it IS a cultural difference, and cities like New York are offering immigrants American assimilation classes to help with this very problem. I teach in an urban high school that is culturally diverse and find it a joy to work with kids of all races and cultures. I hope you don’t let a few bad experiences with Korean shop owners taint your view of Asians as a race. That would just propagate the racism that African Americans feel, as well as Latinos, etc. I, too, have experienced bias and racism by blacks, Latinos and whites, but I don’t let those bad experiences taint my friendships with people of other races.
