Big Brother anyone? When I was in college in Iowa with WEEKENDER editor Bruce Emond, I was the one asked to prove my right to be in America when I applied for jobs in town, when I tried to get my driver's license, even when I went shopping and suspicious store owners followed me from aisle to aisle. Bruce, despite having immigrated to the US as a 12-year-old and his still-distinct accent, was accepted by people in town as an American while I was not. He even gamely wrote an article for the student newspaper about our dual experiences at the town's Job Services office after I told him they'd refused to help me because they said I didn't have a green card, the document that allows non-citizens to work legally in the US. Naturally, as a citizen, I didn't have one. When Bruce went to the Job Services office, they offered to help him find a job and didn't even ask for his green card. As a teenager, I could not understand why I was being rejected by my own country. I wondered what I was doing wrong. Today I understand. I don't look white. The day Arizona passed this new law, memories of the humiliation of being profiled throughout my life overwhelmed me. I found myself overcome with despair, rage, fear, and heartbreak. And then I began to write. This is what it feels like to be profiled: Phase I: Fear Being profiled means scowling adults will come up to me out of the blue when I'm a child in South Dakota and tell me to my face I'm the Devil's spawn because my father is Chinese and my mother is white and God didn't want the races to mix. Being profiled means men will come and shoot my dogs and leave them in our driveway for me to find when I get home from school. Being profiled means I feel fear in rural areas even today. Phase II: Confusion Being profiled means being followed in the grocery store because the owner assumes I will shoplift then fly back to my home country before I can be brought to justice. Being profiled means I can't get a job in a small town, not at the Hardee's, or the Hy-Vee grocery store, or as a waitress in the only sit-down restaurant. Being profiled means instead I take a job washing pots and pans in my campus cafeteria, taking out the trash, working tray breakdown by the garbage disposal for minimum wage. Being profiled means that when I ride my bicycle in China during the student protests in 1988, the Chinese police grab my handlebars and force me off the road because I look like a Chinese student who might be protesting. Being profiled means Chinese people will make fun of my
