Very insightful and very insightful! Being able to see the world through someone else's eyes is one of the greatest gifts of books and this does exactly that.

The Good Immigrant

Wrote a review for

My partner’s German mother says that as a child she had a naive idea to solve racism, which was that everyone should have mixed race babies. She still curiously asks about my culture, as if it were an exibit in the museum and I were a inadequately prepared employee. I taste notes of her grief over what she expected her grandchildren to be, and I wonder what she learnt over the years about herself to label that plan with naivity.

Despite being an immigrant herself, when I mention maybe us moving abroad to China to work, she panics. I guess not all immigrants are made equal, and I guess not all immigration destinations are either.
