During my freshman year of high school, the administrators pulled all of the Asian kids out of class and made us take an English proficiency test. At first we thought it was a joke, but sitting at the desk was a privileged white woman with scantrons who talked to us like we had just arrived in this country. I subsequently cussed her out.
when: high school in california 2004. Made me feel angry, but slightly triumphant.
