Despite the overtly racist connotations of his experiences, Nathan mentioned that it “wasn’t too bad”, laughing in discomfort at a rhyme around both Asian appearance and “mixed race”. He talked about himself and his brother, stressing their (male) resilience to the teasing, although for different reasons. His own experiences were based around how different he looked to his family, while his brother was seen as Asian, and treated as such. His sister noticed the differences in experiences, commenting on the impacts of gender and race in terms of discrimination and vulnerability.

And I think, you know guys’ experiences are always going to be different to what women’s experiences are going to be, growing up.

I mean I don’t know.

I don’t think Nath would have been given any crap for being Asian because he doesn’t look it….

Nathan the milkman’s boy. Yeah.
