As a South East Asian American, one of the strangest things I’ve had to deal with is balancing myself between being “white” and being “asian”. I was born in America and was not raised within a large Laos/Cambodian community. Essentially, I was too whitewashed to hang out with the Asians who grew up with a strong Asian background. I barely know my own home languages. My lack of Asian culture as well as my comfort in American culture has led many to perceive me as a “non-asian”. -- source link
