“Am I a Banana?” By Katherine O. was a decent article. The title just really caught my attention. I like how she talks about the racial stereotypes at her school and how she thinks of herself as a banana just because she is Asian. The “I forgot I was Asian” thing made it a bit more humorous though. Her use of white washed was new. I’ve never heard that before, so I thought “hey...that's pretty good.” “As for my other multicultural friends, whether you’re a self-proclaimed egg, Oreo, coconut, or whatever, the same rule applies: embrace yo-self. Life is far more interesting when you do.” also made me laugh. She seems like a really good, funny, and interesting friend. I have personally seen the racial stereotypes. I used to go to school with a Asian kid (name unlisted due to privacy rights) he was short too which gave them more of an advantage to making fun of him. He got tired of it and i did too so we kinda fought back physically and verbally and became friends with most of them.
