I know what you mean... It's like, well obviously I look half Korean since I AM. And then there is the other side of equation where it feels like maybe some people are trying to almost reassure me that I look white? And wow do I shock not-Asians if I joke you can mostly see it in my squinty Asian eyes. :P
I'm not sure what show that is?
It is kind of interesting how dialogue about Asian/Asian Americans go... Like, the recent hate crimes made me realize how often Asian Americans are left out of the dialogue. But then, maybe it makes sense. Some of the stuff I've read/seen lately talked about how the Asian as the Model Minority arose after the Japanese Internment Camps, as a way to say, see? Everyone is fine. No one needs to feel bad about that. And many Asian Americans and immigrants went along with that because it made people feel safer and like they wouldn't have to worry about being sent away. And all that has brought us here today...
