There was a funny/cute student moment today in class. We were talking about the colors of items in the room and on our persons, like the color of our shirts, pants, and hair. They are all amused with my “yellow” hair, and once this was pointed out, they started naming off things that were yellow. Matt stood, lifted his shirt to show his skinny belly, pointed at his skin and exclaimed, “Teacher, yellow!”
I don’t know if Asian peoples are aware of how “white” people to refer to them as “yellow,” and I’m certain Matt hasn’t the slightest clue, I just thought that the situation was hilariously ironic. Kids say the silliest things!
