RT-ing this does not mean I fully agree with all of this. I just grew up in a majority Asian-American community in Silicon Valley and think that the tensions between first- and second-generation Asian-Americans is largely unexplored by mainstream media.

Yeah, I don't know. I try to shift between East Asian and South Asian, but it's still weird.
