Yes, That's exactly what they are implying. When it just isn't true. I remember the incredible pressure I was under to get the double eyelid surgery to succeed in america. It's just unfair, asians are under attack like this.

Seriously... you had white people tell you to get double eyelid surgery? I'd be surprised if more than a small minority of non-Asian heritage people in North America even know what that is.

I apologize for the communication error.

My family pushed hard for it. They were discriminated against, and wanted me to be successful no matter what/do anything to get any edge.

If it meant looking and acting "white", I need to do it.

It was a strong moment of realization, that in America I'm an "other", that I am not white.
