during the pandemic there was a lot eyes watching you when you are going anywhere and it legit made me extremely paranoid to the point that I became very observant in my surroundings. I also had the habit where I will usually text my friends to ask if they are safe when they get home. I still do that to this day.

There was a person who was believing that the canceling of the mummer's parade due to "black face" was wrong. Me and my friend talked to them privately and explained the history behind the term. However, it started to get more uncomfortable because they started to use prank calls to scare us.

Back in middle school, I was in my social studies class and we were on a lesson that talked about the history of China. My teacher then went on to look up Chinese songs at the front of the class and then called me up front. He then picked a song named "I am stoopid." which was supposedly a "Chinese song" and started continually ask me if I understood what the lady is saying. The song was literally an asian lady singing about how she is stupid in a very stereotypical "Chinese accent"

# data[].attributes.body
I was absolutely horrified. I felt unsafe and humiliated because of this and I was traumatized being scared of whenever a teacher mentioned China in class or having to stand up in front of the class. My stomach churned and my blood boiled although I was covered in cold sweat.

# data[].attributes.body
YES! When I look back on it I wish I was a little braver and was able to condemn the teacher for his behavior. It was absolutely unacceptable!

# data[].attributes.body
It was definitely the fact of the authority levels. I was a student and he was the teacher, it was unknown to have stood up for yourself as a student during that time. I was scared.
