China-Day 4.5

I'd like to think that I'm an average size person. I'm not that tall or wide (at least compared to Fat Albert...yes I know he's not real but I didn't want to offend any fans of Rosie O'Donnell or Star Jones) But I feel large here. People continuously look at me and give me the stare down. Now for the first few days, I ignored this as gentle curiosity in my tanner skin/soft features. But now I'm becoming very offended. Okay, so I eat more KFC than most man and prefer a cola instead of hot tea. But people I'm 25% Chinese, which makes me more Chinese than Panda Express. I think they know that I like Fried Chicken more than Chicken Feet and have begun to slowly bannish me from the Chinese community. I guess that I'm better off joining a college club like UCLA Samahang and pretend that I'm in touch with my culture. But I already have an Asian American Studies Minor. I guess I should dance hip-hop and then I'll get respect.
