Frustrated.
So, I will sometimes use my blog to my frustration a little sweep out.
For those who do not already know. I am Chinese and my parents are Chinese ... My grandpa was around 50 years in Germany. My parents followed him 30 years ago. I'm original "Made in Germany". I am now in German or Chinese? (Pst, I see myself more German than Chinese, but anyway) Jo, intercultural! The hit ... Not always, but my immigrant background and what it entails, will always remain a life issue to me. But at present I am the downside very sensitive and I feel belonging to the kidneys.
For example, this happens to me today:
After the sport I was in the shower and I was already dressed. Mother came with her daughter and 10-year-old Son into the ladies locker room. The son was only in tow, the nurse has made sport. This "pervy little boy" of course interested in all gaped at naked women. I did not want to be and keep my mouth shut. The boy was very hyperactive, is all the time walking around in the locker room is clean and has gone hand in the baby playpens. was too colorful to me and I said to the boy "I would not go in with shoes, because there are babies in there. "
The boy was silent for Mama, the mother looked at me without saying a word but just as outraged. I felt a bit bad because it actually was not my responsibility to rebuke her son and said, "Excuse me, but honestly". The mother turns around and says to her children "How are foreigners!"
So, the story makes me quite sad.
1) Such ignorant and racist images are carried on to children. Yes, that can not handle it. But the times right to know before your own nose is very intense.
2) Something like makes me speechless and pinched my tongue firmly. I would like to be clever in such situations.
3) I would be "foreign" to my reduced. Not only by this mother, ignorant as she is, had no other point to get angry with me. She has "his foreign" yes then sweeping over my mockiert. I will also often in interviews on my "to be Chinese" reduced, "you can save chinese! Toll, interpreting" the meaning of. And I always ask myself, where are my other value?
4) not honestly say I feel foreign. But will always remember.
