Change my race - SBS documentary



We watched the SBS documentary Change My Race last night. I was shocked by some of the Asian how they see themselves and some of the outrages comments from the parents. It's sad that we don't even like our own race. We feel shameful how we look like. I felt the same when I first came to Australia but honestly I've never gone to that extreme.

It's a face that will never been change. I am an Asian. No matter how well my English is and how much I know about Australia. I will always be called an Asian. However after the 12 years that I spent in Australia, I feel like most of the Australian don't care what race you are as long as you can blend in with the Australian culture. I am always welcomed by my friends and colleagues. I have never feel like I am an outsider. There are so many things that I have to learn about Australia but most of the Australian are very accepting and willing to learn our culture as well.

Looking at all the young women gone through the plastic surgeries, do they look THAT Aussie after the plastic surgeries? Iain didn't even noticed what the difference was. He was like "What is a double eye lids?"

I think it's more important that people can fit in the society. Don't listen to their parents or peers about the stupid surgeries. Just be yourself and love the way you are.
