Frank Wu Quotation

A time when I have felt pointed out as Frank Wu explains is when I went to a African American friend's home when I was in high school. It was her birthday party for her family and she invited me to come. However, I was the only white girl there, and I felt very uncomfortable. I don't know if they actually had something wrong with white people or not, but it was as if I was being stared at the whole time. I'd like to think it was just because I am of a different race and not that I did something wrong or they had something against me. When I asked my friend about it, she explained to me that they just aren't used to having close white friends as I was to her, and were almost intrigued by it. This related to what Wu is saying in that he was being either stared at or looked through, not just a normal part of society.
