Oi, yeah. One of the hardest and most painful parts was realizing that what I thought was a protest was a protest that either wasn't heard, or was heard and taken the wrong way. I keep thinking maybe someone will say, "Oh, I'm friends with an Asian! She says such-and-such is ok!" and this time, the person they're talking about will be me. So it's like my silence is being used to perpetuate further hurts.
Of course, the only thing anyone can do is move forward and try not to do the same thing again, so here's to trying to do better!
