Annie's Story

This is Annie's story.

'Asians', 'Black', 'White' are all words used to categorise us, but not in a good way. I am an Asian and people call me that and sometimes I don't like it. When my class was divided in teams for sport, and when there was an imbalance of   'whites' and 'Asians', one of the 'white' classmates said, 'oh, I'm stuck with the Asians'. First, many of us Asians are good players. It is a game and we can win if all of us cooperates. Secondly, the way this particular person used to describe us is hurtful. 'Oh, I'm STUCK with the ASIANS'. This one line from that person's mouth hurt about 10 of us. This show that racism, however big or small, is hurtful. If I can say one thing to that person again, I would say, 'Please, please think before you act.'
