As an Asian traveling in most countries outside of Asia, I notice 2 different types of stare. Stare coming from ignorance (not knowing) and stare coming from hate (knowing). Ignorant stare is close to curiosity: I have never seen this human before. There’s no problem with not knowing. That’s a learning opportunity. The question is Will you take it? Will you go out of your comfort zone to ask questions? Are you willing to look dumb?
