"She was challenging me to a Whiteness Competition. We were at a country
karaoke bar, the honky-tonk kind I’d only ever seen in Texas and

small flock of brown-skinned Filipinos huddled around a table in the
kind of place where cowboy hats go to die."
Via Muse, who wrote: "Great article about race and being an immigrant. I
SO understand some of the immigrant problems she mentions."
