Recently read National Geographic's Ann curry story on Japanese Americans detaining during ww2. Curry,s mom was from Japan, at the end of story, her mom tried every way to erase her Japan heritage, reminding herself and her daughter we were Americans now, forget Japan. She thought by this she could prevent the tragedy happening to her and her family again.
Is that working ?
We also have Connie Chung, who was irratated every time people curious about her Chinese background. We also have Elaine chao, the only famous Chinese American politician. Though her view on race unclear, I haven,t heard any time she proud openly declaring her Chinese heritage.
We also have many no names, including here, basically doing the same thing basically, emphasizing tie sto new land and erasing past.
Is that working?
I don,t know about you, but people keep asking me, where are you from, if I said from this state, they just look exasperated, and repeat asking again, I mean where you originally from? They asked in such an innocent way that even if I offended, never chose to answer back, what about you, from Ireland, Germany, or Sweden?
During ww2, Jap-am loyalty was doubted, but ger-am and italy ones never. Why is that?
With today,s domestic and international atmpsphere, I am not so sure the past tragedy won,t happen again. Just look at the newest Supreme Court ruling, they so swiftly and resonantly backed trump,s census policy. Imagine when Sino- am really turning bad, what will happen to us, including those of you who so happily believe I am already into mainstream and a buddy to white big bro.
The recent tax reform perhaps is a hint. Most benefit from tax cut, but not for a small but still numerous group, the NR, they can no longer claim exemption, except some India students, meaning each had to pay at least 400 $ more. But who cares, there was not even a ripple of complaint heard.
Call me paranoid, ok you are citizens now, you always denounce ccp and sing god bless America, but when time is up, would you be confident that will work? You sure you will be accepted ok ,he is one of us, no need to intern this guy and family.
I am not so sure. Chinese am basically has no political voice. When singled out, I don,t think Korea, Japan, India or any other asians will come to rescue us.
I am worried.
