so i posted a blog a few months back about how i get stared at because i'm white. they still stare. and i didn't notice it for a long time until this week.
in america, we don't stare at someone of a different race. well, in hudsonville people do, but that's a different story. but if you go to new york, no one stares at you because you're white, black, asian, hispanic... because the US is such a heterogenius country. but Japan is not. so... if you're not japanese, they stare.
yesterday i was on the train and across from me was this little junior high/high school boy. every time i looked up i could see out of the corner of my eye he was staring at me. not just staring, glaring. like a "why are you in my country" kind of look. i've gotten that look from old people before, but never someone so young. freaked me out.
oh well, right? i chose to come to a society where everyone is 93% the same race.
on a brighter note....
this candy lipstick i'm eating right now is really good.
