Jessi talked about the racism that she experienced in USA.

She was on KBS 2TV's 'Problem Child in House' as a guest at a recent recording. She talked about spending her teens in USA and experiencing racism. Once, a classmate imitated her by pretending to pull their eyes up in the 'Asian' way. She ended up throwing a book at their face and flipping a desk over. The teacher scolded only Jessi, and she ran out and cried.

Make sure to tune in tomorrow for the full story on KBS 2TV.

sadly, it's pretty normal for foreigner to experience racism. Hoping for a time when everyone learns to respect each other's race. Btw, "throwing book at their face and flipping a desk over" Jessi is such a badass queen. Press F hahaha

Racism is something most people of different ethnic groups experience in America. It's unfortunate and unfair.
