Storyboard Text
- EW! YOUR LUNCH SMELLS!
- This is the story of how I experienced prejudice for the first time.
- There´s probably dog in that lol..
- TAKE THAT FOOD BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY! GROSS
- CHINK!
- 20 Minutes Earlier
- My mom just packed me my favourite Filipino dish in the world, Pancit Canton...
- Yes, thank you mother!
-
- Don´t forget you lunch Charlize!
- I brought it school. I didn´t think much of it as I was happy to show my culture to my classmates and friends. It was not until I opened it, I would experience the most embarrassing and life changing moment of my life.
- Those racist comments my classmates made about my lunch and even me, hurt me like bricks. I didn´t think my classmates were capable of saying such offensive comments without hesitation. It made me think I was the problem, it was my fault for bringing such disgusting food to school. I was the one to blame.
- Apparently the spices and seasoning that was in the Filipino dish gave out an unfamiliar or should I say foul smell to my classmates. At that moment I felt embarrassed right away. I didn´t expect such a loud and racist reaction from my fellow classmates. All I wanted to do was express my culture, but in the end I felt like a laughing stock, I wanted to go home and disappear.
- No mom. Remember the kids at my school made fun of the Pancit Canton you made for me? I´m not bringing anymore Filipino food ever again!
- The next following school day I didn´t bring the lunch my mom made for me, which was another FIlipino dish called Chicken Adobo. I was embarrassed and ashamed of my culture and afraid of the racist comments my classmates would bring about my ethnic food again. From that day forward I only brought ¨white people food¨, food that seemed ¨normal¨ to eat in front of my classmates.
- Charlize you´re not going to bring the lunch I made for you today?
-
- Can I have some?
- The End.
- YO CHARLIZE HAS THE BEST LUNCHES EVER!!
- Glad you´re not bringing those smelly noodles again lol.
