Cuz I’m one of them and I’m just curious lol.

One of the things I notice a lot is microaggressions.

I hear the “Do you speak english?” question get asked a lot… which is mildly annoys me once I recognize the implications… cuz I’ve been in the US since I was 8 basically close to a native born IMO, so that kinda made think like: if I was white they probably wouldn’t have asked that right?

I mean I don’t really get that offended, there are a lot of Asian immigrants… so they probably have a statistical bias in their mental image…

Literally 2 days ago I had an appointment for my depression and the… I guess a therapist (cuz not licensed to write medications so not a “psychaitrist”)… a white male… was like “Do you speak English?”…

I was just like… 🙄

(Its fine tho, vibes were okay)

so I was just wondering what sterotypes people have…
