I was just like Alice in Wonderland, when I started posting on English fora.
While posting in a foreign language is already a burden to me, there's much more stuff that makes me feel difficulty.
Actually, there are really few things that I can share with foreign people in general.
I don't understand the movies or TV dramas or prominent people or their kind of common sense that they usually talk about, while I barely deal with usages and idioms that those English speakers always take.
I gradually understood that these are the people who will never treat someone Asian local right.
I've been through much events those unbelievable happening on me, given by a way just like how they treat an animal.
I never felt that I was treated like a decent human being, by those western people who speak English for granted.
They see me just like some poor, miserable Asian woman who's often seen in a western film, speaking a botched English, who looks like needing help.
They are, yes "some" nice only when I act like such a woman in those films, they are NOT nice when I don't, when I tend to do it like how someone independent does.
They don't really interpret "equality", don't apply it to someone like me.
However, I am grateful in getting in touch with many people from east Asia, through struggling with English posting.
Sadly, most feature that I got from English posting is, aversion to western people.
As long as there's no way for me to let them treat me right, unless I am like an Asian woman totally dependent on western people.
I'm not going to make any compromise about it, as this is about human dignity of someone from Asia.
Discrimination and awful prejudice against "non-western people" are absolutely existent, that is what I am very sure of.
