I recently did a semester abroad in China with
a distractingly white Scandinavian buddy of
mine named Liam.
Being so white in China attracted a
“D-List celebrity” level of attention where
constantly be stared at and photographe
On the way to class one day, a couple
approached us for a photo and hand
their baby to Liam to hold in the picture.
As the baby is being placed in his hands, Liam
could feel that it was wearing neither pants
nor a diaper. Then, while I’m trying to smile
for the shot, the baby lets out an audible
giggle and Liam whispers into my ear:
‘Tyler, I think I’ve just done something bad”
