When I first got back to the US and I was in LAX I noticed something strange. Most of the people were white (I had just had a meeting with a company that employed all Chinese people and sent a Chinese driver to pick me up). It had been months since I had seen so many white people. It was strange to me.
Let me explain. I am the only white person at my company. And on top of that all of my customers are non-white people. So during long weeks when I go to work early and come back late then see customers the only white people I see are in airports or in passing on the subway. On top of that all my friends here are Taiwanese after my old roomie went home.
But now I have noticed something else. For a long time the area where I live didn’t really have my foreigners who also lived there (I am the only foreigner in my building). Yet, lately the number of foreigners I see by the subway stop next to my apartment has really increased (note: that could be since I was actually in Taiwan on the weekend and not out on business).
Thing is I am not used to seeing a whole lot of other white people and it has actually been a little strange here to see so many of them. Am I turning Taiwanese or something?
