“ 1. Yes, I did. I came from Malaysia, from a Chinese family. I came to this country to study in hoping to get a degree so I will have a better job. 20+ years ago, younger people would call me "Chi*ky, I want chicken curry and chips!"
2. I am quite conscious where I go, for instant , you don't go out for walk at night. But, I carry on my my normal life pretty much okay, maybe because good at my English.
3. Not at the beginning, I am always known as a foreign student. But, as years gone by I made a lot of friends and they treated me equally.
4. No, not really. I am proud to be in my own skin. I am never afraid when this topic is talked about. Back in Malaysia, I lived in a multi-racial community.
5. Yes, I have a few colleagues jokingly said I ate "Bat Soup". Some of them do blame all Chinese.
6. I usually keep it quiet. To prevent disagreement or argument.
7. N/A
8. N/A
9. N/A
10. No, I know I am different, but I am myself. I never tried to be someone else. I have qualifications, I do my job right and I am a hard working mother to try and provide for my family. People nowadays are more accepting of other races I think. There are more laws and human rights; we should live obligating to our rules and treat everyone equally and with respect.”
