I grew up with 90 percent white people
As a tall kid, getting shoved in a locker at school never happened to me
I'm adopted, and people will assume I'm Deutsche American
They're surprised when they see me as the center in a basketball team and I'm a tall Asian guy
On the dating app, height and basketball are the first things that I put on the list
Given Western dating culture, those are highly valued
I had several successful dates
But when I'm ready to step further into a relationship, they would say
You are cool and tall as an Asian dude
And your English is perfect
But you are Asian, sorry
You are Asian
They told me
