In 2012, one late night during nursing school in Portland, four roommates and I got to talking about our breasts. I didn’t think about my breasts being different from the white majority surrounding me again until that night in nursing school. As I stood there shirtless, my five roommates conferred with each other and concluded they had never seen Asian breasts before. I wouldn’t see breasts that resembled mine again until I was 26 years old. I thought about myself in 2012, how I had stood there shirtless, how I had accepted the responsibility to teach my white roommates about Asian breasts.
