i've been at this school for about 2 months now and this has happened a few times: i'll be walking down the hallway when i would hear students yell, "mr. chang! hey, mr. chang!"
initially, i ignored them b/c since that's my name, i had no idea they were talking to me. but after it's happened a few more times, i now realize it's b/c these kids think i'm mr. chang (an actual teacher at my school). i've never met the man, so either these kids are ignorant/racist (all asians look alike, right?), or i do look like him from behind, as this ONLY happens from behind me. anyway, so now i know it's a case of mistaken identity, but i still ignore students who do this. then a few days ago, i was walking down the hallway when it happened again. but this time, when i ignored this student, he goes, "aight, mr. chang. i see you." then he says to his friend (i assume, b/c i'm not turning around), "why's he being like that?" hahahahaha.
am i making these kids think mr. chang is an a-hole with my actions?
