Lol, you must not have a lot of American born Asian friends, but frankly neither do I for that same reason. Like of all the ways marginalized communities in history have found ways to carve their own identities, from music to rhyming slangs, American born Asians decided to be the people who would totally hire a guide in a third world country to take them through dirt roads unexplored by navigation software in order to get to some remote village that some food blogger said makes bomb ass noodles or bragging about flying from the SF Bay Area to LA every weekend just to eat Korean food.Food is legitimate, to get sushi that's fresher and cheaper but you'd have to be an extremely gluttonous person to think it to be worth it to fly to the other side of the world to eat.
God Xi Jinping, you got a lot on your plate nowadays, but at the very least include liberating us mentally somewhere on your list even if its at the very bottom!
