<v ->I've been physically attacked</v>

2
00:00:02.730 --> 00:00:06.100 line:15% 
throughout my life, starting at the age of five.

3
00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:08.270 line:15% 
You know, I was called a racial epithet

4
00:00:08.270 --> 00:00:09.990 line:15% 
and thrown off the slide and broke my arm

5
00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:11.500 line:15% 
when I was five years old.

6
00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:14.250 line:15% 
When I was in third grade, I was pushed to the ground

7
00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:16.290 line:15% 
and called a Chink in the lunch line.

8
00:00:16.290 --> 00:00:17.890 line:15% 
These are all in "Fresh Off The Boat".

9
00:00:17.890 --> 00:00:19.900 line:15% 
This happened to me constantly, you know.

10
00:00:19.900 --> 00:00:22.280 line:15% 
In fourth grade on my birthday, my dad was late

11
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:23.960 line:15% 
picking me up from baseball

12
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.040 line:15% 
and a group of kids ran around me in a circle

13
00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:27.930 line:15% 
spitting sunflower seeds at me calling me

14
00:00:27.930 --> 00:00:30.720 line:15% 
Ching Chong Eddie Huang, sitting on a jumbo gong.

15
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:32.720 line:15% 
And everyone thought it was hilarious.

16
00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:36.670 line:15% 
And that coach, I told him about it, nothing happened.

17
00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:38.680 line:15% 
You know, the next practice he goes, you know

18
00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:39.930 line:15% 
for everyone that's confused about

19
00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:42.010 line:15% 
how you pronounce Eddie's name, Eddie Wang,

20
00:00:42.010 --> 00:00:43.380 line:15% 
woops I said it wong again.

21
00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:45.320 line:15% 
And it's just, you know it just went round

22
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:46.600 line:15% 
and around and around.

23
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.890 line:15% 
And it wasn't until I got to New York

24
00:00:48.890 --> 00:00:51.780 line:15% 
that I met other weirdos and I met other people like me

25
00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:52.830 line:15% 
and I felt more home.
