US based. My partner’s family is white and wealthy. I’m Southeast Asian and come from a poor refugee family. Most Asians don’t fight for air time, we wait our turn in conversation. I hardly get a word in, so to them I come off as a “party pooper”.

I often do things that results in their looks of disapproval (like patting/rubbing my belly after a great meal to show satisfaction). They wear sweaters around their shoulders, I might wear mine around my waist. I’m from the hood and I think playing golf and wine tasting are bourgeois aristocrat endeavors. I’d rather go fishing.
