While we get this comment a lot, and it’s an inside joke that we get to use, we couldn’t be more differ- ent. We are both Chinese-American, but the similar- ities stop there. Sarah stands at 5’5” with jet-black, straight, sleek hair and an aversion to floorwork. Stella is inches shorter, has wavy hair, a darker com- plexion, and moves completely opposite of Sarah, but somehow we are interchangeable and seen as carbon copies of each other. While we laugh at the fact that we feel obligated to provide descriptions of ourselves and shouldn’t need to explain who we are or what we look like, it proves the point that this common phrase isn’t a surface-level comment that should be brushed aside. “Wow, you two look so similar!”
