Token White Chick

I am involved with my school's Thai Smile Club (basically it's a Thai student organization). Anyway, I usually go to all the meetings and keep myself quite active with whatever they are doing- mostly its so that my Thai teacher will give me a better grade, but I have also come to know many of the students. The thing is, is that I'm usually the only white chick there- which is not a problem for me, I feel right at home with them. But I've began to notice how they like to "show" me off to their other friends- much like I have done with my room mate when she came home with me for Thanksgiving. It's just different having people interested in what I have to say or who I am, simply because I'm white. Though, it is certainly a learning experience, because I hang around them simply because they're from Southeast Asia- go figure.
