Not to look stupid among them, or to further insult the Asian I had already insulted, I joined in the laughter, clapping my hands together in a manner that made me look like a clowed idiot. Fuck me!

The sort of thing you find in bars or between a group of high school boys—it’s so echoey and unsettling that we genuinely have no clue what to do about it as it’s happening.
