I treated Asian people terribly at 21.

I made fun of their accents, called them slow drivers to their faces, threw Pokemon cards at them, and criticized their food.

Now I’m married to an Asian woman.

They say it’s funny how life gets revenge on you in strange ways.

I’m glad for the behavior change. My wife is always commenting on how Western Culture is different. These are her observations that will change how you think about Western versus Asian culture.

Our obsession with freedom causes us to talk too much

Free speech is good, and I love it.

My wife loves it too but during coroni-rona we’ve seen the downside and she reminds me often.

When everyone is simultaneously using their right to free speech we start loudly talking over the top of each other.

Coroni caused commonsense to go out the window. All the debate led to more confusion.
