"when white people see you and realize you wear the same kind of clothes as they do and you don't speak with an accent, they probably welcome your hint of Chinese flavor, assuming you're filled with empty calories but are nonetheless...refreshing. they like that you're different enough to be entertaining, but not strong enough to upset their stomachs. on the other hand, some Chinese people, take one look at your packaging and immediately judge you. they assume you're too bubbly, or have some kind of gimmick. they might think you're too sweet to be any good, or think you've designed yourself to cater to Western palates. in all of the two seconds of seeing you, they take it upon themselves to proclaim that your character consists of inferior ingredients devoid of any authentic Chinese flavor."
