I've been to China and this happened to me on a regular basis, even in the bigger cities. Still had a great time, though.

I get treated like a celebrity everywhere I go

especially when I'm hanging out with my triplet brothers

People always stop us to take pictures

I do get tired of it sometimes though

But some people don't get any attention until they're robbing your ass

So I appreciate it

Pretty much what I go through every single day of my life. I know what I signed up for, I mean wtf, Im the only black person in a 20 mile radius. Just put some headphones on and zone out. Some days I dont care, bars its beneficial (free drinks every weekend lol), but some days, like miserable rainy days, you just like

Tokyo tho, folks didnt give a shyt. Id look to see if they were looking and they looked back like fukk you staring at.

Asians have some weird fascination with black people. We have a lot of Japanese tourists down under and for some reason everytime these Japanese tour groups see my family in the city, they all want to take pictures with us. Fukn weird

um, no.

People see different people and stare. Thats how the world works. We live in a diverse country, the new world. But people in the old world dont have this same luxury.

My chinese teacher now lives in Nigeria. She hit me up on fb like 'now I know what you go through in china'

I didnt get ANY stares in Japan. I did have a japanese person want to take pics with me in Brazil, but I think he just wanted diversity in his footage and to be cool. Japan and Korea, I rarely if ever get stares. Weve had bases there for over 50 years, and africans are sprawled all over. Shouldnt be shocking to them. China is different, it was closed off to the world for a very long time.

Can't wait to go to japan for this reason. Im sure I would have to hit countrysides, though, to really get this response.

Nah its all love and smiles when the Mowgster comes around. My father in law likes to drink Hennessey so we drink together and eat peanuts or we go to his homies house and drink with like 20 asian OGs.

Those are the looks I see when we go get dim sum at some all chinese everything restaurant where there are old people. They look you dead in the eye like but when i look back like they be lookin nervous and avert that reckless eyeballing before shyt gets weird.
