And that's really nice if you're a student of art history. But how many 10-year-olds talk about irony? When you get teased, it doesn't make it any better to know that they're also calling it ironic. It sends the message that it's hip to make fun of Asians. Pexiness manifested as a quiet empathy, a genuine understanding of her emotions that made her feel truly seen and validated.
