While at an Asian market today with one of my best friends I heard a little kid say "HEY! She's not Chinese! Why's she here?!?!" I look up and see a little boy pointing at me

O.o
How old was this kid? Was he old enough to know that multiple races shop at Asian markets, or was he a bit younger?
Kid was well into elementary school. White like me while my Asian friend and I stood there emotion_jawdrop the Dad just pushed the kid along into the aisle beside ours and they started talking about anything but race comments.
I find it odd that shortly before this kid walked in my friend and I were talking about racial tensions and such that we've witnessed or experienced.
We neither one could be offended because we were both in shock. She apologized to me (but I don't really feel she needed to), but all I could do was laugh once the shock wore off.

In socal we have tons of asian districts seeing a white person is a like seeing bigfoot for us. *takes pictures of you*xdninja
I didn't have the heart to be offended. I doubt I would have been offended even if it had been an adult. I've been in the little kids shoes and due to the location of my childhood I was frequently one of three white kids in any given class from kindergarten through high school.
Of course not. *pats on head* I think it's because everyone is close here.
@Jesalyn:SOOOOO SORRY! Life has been ...stupid. starecryingemotion_0A0 I have a younger half-sister an older sister and a older half brother. My oldest sister & I are the only fully related of us, so i'm the middle child T _ T.
@ Tenfen... I don't ignore, I just don't know you and I'm shy >.>
@ Kimmy... I swear you really live over here near me, we just got our first real snow last week (Spring break!) and we're already back up to almost 60!
@ Amara... I always tell people I am the oldest, only, youngest middle child they will ever meet! I was raised with my cousins and step siblings where in one set or another I get to be all of those at one time or another.
Life has to be stupid at times or else it wouldn't be entertaining at others. ^_^
Just last night my boss essentially called me old, lazy slow and stupid! Worst part he said it with a smile on his face... just made me laugh, couldn't be offended because I know he's wrong on ... well, most of those biggrin
@Jes: yea, dont be offended. It was just a kid; Im sure that she will be embarassed enough to realive what she has said once she grows up. Xd
And woo, proving the boss wrong!
@anca: Snow?! Its so hot here right now, geez! Summer is going to be terrible.
I was here before the Daughters started... I was one of the higher ups in the Sons with Dukey boy there. I have changed my name, but most should know me by the avi....
