Hi everyone, thought I'd just quickly introduce myself.
I'm Chinese-Cambodian in heritage but born and bred in Melbourne, Australia. I can't say I've ever felt too much discrimination where I lived, there's so many asians.... everywhere, over 12% of the countries population and 18% in my state.
That was until I moved temporarily to a more rural area did I realize I was different and racial politics between Anglo-Australian and Indigenous Australians played a role in my highschool. I was just the asian who no-one payed attention to, or when they did it was to make an off handed racial remarks.
That's when I saw more clearly, how difficult it can be to be a minority. Going back, it's been 100% ok, maybe other than the fact that in my university, as an straight Arts student ... there are about zero asian guys and very few asian girls who are interested those subjects, maybe for good, but what can I say ... I gave up on learning maths since year 11 =O
I'm making videogames as a hobby with a few dudes though ... nothing technical , just writer and concept/scenario designer. Anyway ... just thought I'd say hi =)
