Page history last edited by Sara Burnett 8 years, 8 months ago

Name: Anonymous

 

Live in St. Cloud and owns a house with my wife

 

Cultural background is Southeast Asia

 

Growing up was a little tough, middle or lower middle class family, had to work from a very early age

 

Not much of anything available as a kid but had good hard working parents and grandparents

 

Have a normal mediocre Muslim family

 

Have a Bachelors Degree

 

Have worked in the food industry for 23 years and currently owns his own restaurant 

 

Have 3 kids

 

Nothing prominent as far as negative experiences because of race but couldn't climb up the ladder at work whether how much hard or smart I worked but I could be looking from a wrong angle.

 

During all these years I got to know some of the finest people and became friends with them and encountered some that needed to open up their minds and hearts.  Some made judgment calls by the looks and accent and some were just plain ignorant. For example this woman was really mad because her delivery was late and after she noticed my accent she had some special words for me like towel head, and many more. 

 

I still come across ignorants like this business owner who thinks Somalis should adopt American way of life by not wearing their traditional clothing and this is one of the hardest working person I know. 

 

But overall most people I meet are decent and caring. 

 

Five words to describe myself: Family-work/hardworking-loyal-passionate-caring 

     

    Do you see me differently now?
