Story: Playing Basketball in the hood as an Asian

For one of my university club activities we drove to a sorta far away place to a hood area in a city I've never heard of in Pennsylvania, all to go to a park and do outdoor activities for bonding This was the first time I've experienced (minor?) racism as an Asian back in early September but I only told a few friends about it and wanted to just leave this somewhere I got there a lot earlier than the rest of the club & saw a basketball court with highschool kids basically from the hood, seeing me as if they've never seen an Asian in person before. For pickup game they did like team captains and took turns taking people for their team, I'm like 6'1 but I still got picked LAST, prob cuz Im skinny orrrrr :/ As a generally short tempered person I wanted to get the ball so bad to prove them wrong In the first possession the opposing team has the ball and gives it to their team captain who I was guarding. Now they DIDNT know I played ball since 4th grade and was pretty good for my age. Fast for a 6 ft guy too. I just saw the captain started dribbling all fancy getting confident like hes about to try and embarass me in front of everyone, Im taller than him so I picked up that he was about to meg me, and right when he was about to throw it between my legs I snatched it from him and went scored a layup at the other side of the court. They took the ball down again and the captain (who im still guarding) said "Gimme the ball" A white kid said "Bro Ricegum just took your shit dude!" and the other kids started smirking. Im just like damn, I guess people dont realize how ignorant of a comment that was, and just wanted to embarrass that kid so bad. The game went on and I didnt play as good as I wanted to but I was definitely exceeding everyone elses expectations over there. Just throughout I could tell they just wanted to block me or steal the ball from me, like I had a bounty over my head or Im being over sensitive and its because I seem to be the new guy there. It wasnt just the opposing team though, I remember this dialogue very clearly: ​ Teammate: Yo take the ball up the court Me: Nah bro you get it Teammate: (looks at other teammate and laughs) He said nahh bro hahahahah They really thought I didnt know a decent amount of slang I guess.. ​ Another time: ​ Me: (crosses captain) oooooh!!!! (mostly cuz I was ticked at him for trying to embarrass me) Opponent: (in a mocking voice) Oh he said OOh He fouled me hard to prevent me from scoring but it is a common reaction to getting crossed After we finished the game even though I was annoyed I just went up to everyone and gave em a g lock handshake or a fist bump cuz I subconsciously just wanted to leave em a good impression for probably their first time seeing an Asian guy. After I left and joined back in my club group all I thought was damn some just need to know that anyone can be the target of racism. Honestly I got to thank all you guys and the community because before I might've lashed out at him for saying something like that or just left without a word but I recall these stories and video posts of so many people who got it way worse than me and I felt the least I could do is leave a decent impression to them by fist bumping it out in the end.

It was 2:30pm. I was finishing my workout at Bodyfit88, a newly opened gym in Wanda. Progress had been good over the past two months. I had progressed from 5kg to 7.5kg for my curls. But I wasn't seeing any more gains.

Anyway, I was exhausted. Today I'd completed 6 sets of dumbbell curls, followed by shoulder pulley, pecdec, waist machine, some leg press, 80kg now, some more dumbbell curls, and 7 minutes on the step machine. The instructor said I should eat more but I don't want to get fat.

At this time in the afternoon it's very quiet. But there was one other person here today. Not seen him before, a foreigner. Grunting all the time, all he was doing was barbell, lying on his back then lifting over his head. I tried once, but the bar was too heavy.

Back in the locker room, I was too tired for a shower so reclined on the sofa watching Douyin covered in my jacket to keep warm. Then he walked in. The locker room wasn't that big, and his locker was around 70cm from where I sat. There was no one else in the room. He stripped and then I saw it through the crack between his legs, swinging around. His buttocks were large, brown and firm, back rippled, thighs lean but rough. He turned to put his water bottle on the sink next to us and there it was. A dark cherry-colored mushroom head, a thick shaft, at least 15cm long, with creased yet but smooth skin lined with pulsing veins. My head was still pointing at my phone, but my eyes were fixated. I quickly switched from Douyin to camera to record this sight.

He was singing in the shower, I still can't believe what I've just seen. With phone still recording, he comes back, wipes his body down. I pretend to be asleep with only a crack of an eye open. He dresses and leaves.

I still have this recording. I like to watch it from time to time.
