My name is Clark Cruz-Kim, son of a Filipino single mother
On the dating app, I registered my name as Clark Cruz so people can assume
I might be los Espanoles or os Portugueses
Then that garrulous guy named Peter Park messaged me
Coke-bottle glasses
Nerdy smile
Small body
The idea of a wimpy-looking Asian guy trying to approach me is annoying
And the reminder of him as my slim, self-righteous
And homophobia Korean father who abandoned us pissed me off
So I said I only date white guys
I could tell that my words hurt him
I felt guilty
Before I left the conversation, I said
But you are kinda cute, in a #Peter Parker sort of way
