So I’m Waisan and maybe that negates some of my claims but my whole life I grew up learning and experiencing my Asian and Irish culture. I enjoy both parts of my identity and I’m proud to like my heritage. However, with this whole rise of Americans in particular “trendifying” parts of Asian culture it offends me to think something so integral to my is just a trend. It’s almost seen as corny to like certain things because of Joe popular they are, like boba. And don’t get me started on this “I’m in a very Chinese time of my life” and people acting like they’re more unique because they started drinking tea. I guess my feelings are pretty complicated on this issue. I‘m open to any thoughts people have!
