Speaking of hard to get good personal pics... "x" pics are the worst about this.

First off, thanks y'all for the kind words. Again, I just want to emphasize that I am not insecure. I just preferred to stay under the radar.

I get these backhanded compliments all the time. You are so ______ for an Asian. I'm like, wha....? Am I supposed to be flattered by that? It just makes me nauseous thinking about the popularly-held preconceived notions about Asian people. I mean, admittedly... there is a little grain of truth to some of it. But it's not a compliment when you are slamming an entire segment of the population at the same time.
