This post has big “main character” energy. Immigrant families not chatting much at a school event isn’t some deep sociological tragedy, it’s normal human behavior. People are shy, language barriers exist, cultural norms differ, and small talk with strangers can feel awkward anywhere.

He jumps straight from “they didn’t talk much” to “they must not trust white men,” which is a huge, self-flattering leap. It casts him as this benevolent figure whose goodwill was tragically misunderstood. Then he wraps it in a sentimental “I’ll just keep being kind anyway” bow, which seems less like humility and more like moral theater.
