That was awesome. If only it really were that easy to make the crazies change their mind.
Ok, well, I guess getting Jesus to really appear wouldn't be easy. I don't understand the hate. Not that I don't hate, you understand, just not a GROUP, I hate specific people who have wronged me personally. But you don't have to spread that around.
I look Asian, but I'm not. Neither is my last name. When I speak, you won't hear an Asian accent. I can't speak any Asian languages. All I have in common with Asians living in Germany is my dark skin, almond-shaped eyes and petite frame.
I am a Canadian of Filipino ethnicity living in Germany. I used to enjoy the sport of trying to make that comprehensible to your average German, but after five years that got boring. That is why I added Cosmopolite to my self-description - and rediscovered the fun =)
Über die „Klatschtante”
Ich sehe asiatisch aus – bin es aber nicht. Mein Nachname auch nicht. Wenn ich spreche, gibt es keinen "Asia" Akzent zu hören. Ich kann eine asiatische Sprache weder lesen noch sprechen. Alles was ich im Vergleich mit den in Deutschland lebenden Asiaten gemein habe, sind meine dunkle Haut, mandelförmigen Augen und schmaler Körperbau.
Ich bin waschechte Kanadierin mit philippinischem Migrations- hintergrund, die in Deutschland lebt. Anfangs hatte ich mir einen Sport daraus gemacht, dieses Selbstverständnis einem Durchschnittsdeutschen begreiflich zu machen. Nach 5 Jahren fängt das an, langweilig zu werden. Deswegen habe ich Kosmopolit meiner Selbstbeschrei- bung beigefügt, und habe meinen alten Spaß neu entdeckt. =)
