Nick names can be brutal, they are like the bad photos on the internet, once something its there, it always will be there. I got one during high school, nothing unflattering, just didnt like it at all and these days rarely hear it, but sometimes I meet an old friend/classmate and it comes up and hits like a truck every fucking time.

I think kids brains just latch on to things without regard to other people's feelings or social mores. Sometimes it's cruel, sometimes it's just ignorant, but a lot of the times it's just nonsensical.

In middle and high school people called me Flyin Hawaiian, I'm not Polynesian, nor have I ever lived on an island. I'm just very large for a Korean dude and played football.
