really helpful for unpacking and understanding anger and rage and shame as asians. I've been told once that positioning asian america as separate from black and white america can be reductive or dangerous or self-aggrandizing, but I think that there can be a value in seeing how the asian american struggle is unique. In the same ways that it can be similar to other struggles, it can also be it's own unique struggle, as the existence of different racial categorizations in and of themselves has already decided for us that we are all to be seen differently. based on my experience growing up in semi-americanized, semi-diverse, suburban, middle class upbringing, the question that this book gets at really well is "where do we fit within this issue of whiteness when so many of us often toe the line and end up on either side?"
