Yay!! Despite the billions of stories it looks like you’re making good progress
I think it’s fine when people who get to know me a bit ask, but definitely it’s a bit jarring as a first introduction question to a person I’ve never spoken to. So you’re ok don’t worry lol. I’m sorry you face prejudices though, people are kinda … r*cist everywhere. But it’s cool to see another writer with an immigrant background!
LOLL yeah I got called that a lot living in Texas, or Chinita in my case, by family. I think maybe they even called me that because of the art I was interested in, I’ve always been inspired by different types of Eastern art, so I drew a lot of studies of that when I was younger too. I think almond and monolid eyes are very common in a lot of Hispanic ethnicities.
Same honestly XD And it’s such a a broad spectrum too, so there’s a lot of different cultures to take inspiration from that are Hispanic.
