\nIf you send two kids to two different “learn your 2nd generation ass about your Asian culture!” afterschool programs will they even learn the same thing? At least Christians share the Bible.
American race categories are crazy man. What exactly does the grandkid of a guy from Tokyo share with the daughter of a guy from Islamabad? Nothing at all, why are you putting them in the same box?
Well I mean the schools aren’t “Asian” in a general sense, they at least pitch themselves in different languages and orthographies, but even as specific cultures go, it’s not like there’s an agreed curriculum for “being Cambodian"\u2026 is there?
Isn’t "making up a unified cultural identity” pretty much what nations do around the time they start being nations?
What would the American curriculum be?
Honest Abe chopping down that cherry tree, that one picture of Washington Crossing the Delaware, The Great Gatsby, possibly square dance.
You know, the sort of thing you keep talking about.
