Mom Versus the Gym Teacher

I don't know racism but I do know that woman screaming in my face well, I didn't stand for that even if I had to grab the neighbor's kid to translate for me that woman looking down on my Chinese face I had Julia write a Formal Complaint the principal agreed and did nothing a weak woman just imagine if I knew english the hardest thing was letting them walk on us timid and quiet Chinese hah! no Chinese in government no social services no translators I came too early
