Almost a decade ago, when I was a college student working part-time at a crappy job .. I was wearing a plain white dress shirt and black pants and riding on a bus. I sat down beside an old Caucasian lady and as I tried to get comfortable she looked at me and said: "Why don't you go back to China, China Man!"
I was absolutely shocked. I was in Vancouver, one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the entire world. I had never faced anything like this before in my life previously. The other riders on the bus started heckling her and harassing her for what she said and I, uncomfortable, moved to further away seats. I still remember that incident to this day.
