Sure maybe I was better equipped to respond this week than I was back in the playground (nothing like a good ‘get fucked’), but what astounds me is just how shit it is that this still happens, or that it ever happened!...
That old saying sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me is actually bullshit. Racist ‘jokes’ and name calling do hurt – they do have an impact...

Tomorrow in #Sydney there is a #StopAsianHate
