My mom was an illegal immigrant. When she tells people this they usually respond with “well you’re not a real immigrant because you came from Canada.” (And is white) I think this highlights the racism that we try to hide in passion for national security.
I am so awkward at the doctors.
Like do I tell the nurse everything or wait to tell the doctor... how much information do they need? Do I shake their hand? Stand up when they walk in? When they knock on the door do you yell ‘I’m in here’ like you’re in a public bathroom?
