Im 22F East Asian & moved to the US (NYC) a few months back. I’ve not seen any other Asian women post something like this so has anyone else experienced this?
On the streets of manhattan or in its subway stations, sometimes men will randomly say things to me like “Ni Hao”, the C derogatory, “plastic face”, and other rude things.
There was even a man next to me who began graphically describing to his friend about his negative bedtime experience with a “Chinese girl”, consistently emphasising her race while frequently glancing at me.
Now I’ve started to wear headphones all the time so I won’t hear things people say to me on the streets. Like when a man slowed his car to call out at me and laughed, I couldn’t hear what he said.
My Asian friends who’ve lived here all their lives say they haven’t encountered this here so how is it that I’ve encountered so many in just a few months?
