Student 1 [jokingly]: "I'm being racially profiled."
Me: "I don't even know what race you consider yourself to be."
Student 1: "I'm Tongan."
Me: "Are there any other Tongans here?"
Student 1 [scanning the room]: "Yeah. Student 2 over there."
Me [to Student 2]: "Do you feel racially profiled?"
Student 2 [confused]: "Huh? No."
Student 1 [to Student 2]: "You don't feel racially profiled as a Tongan in this class?"
Student 2: "It's not like I wake up and think, 'Ah. I'm Tongan!'" (2/13/23)
