Def a young old dynamic at play regarding the "asian ness"...I remember seeing a documentary that included a segment about this reality webseries that was basically an asian kardashians, about youngish rich/wealthy asian women in vancouver...it mentioned something about vancouver having one of the largest Asian populations outside of asia, that definitely would create a different dynamic, especially if/when accompanied by economic influence; any/every group that can consolidate a good measure of affluent members can & usually does exert this type of 'privilege' if that is what we're calling it
curious about the questioning of 'asian-ness' though, is this more of a cultural intergenerational thing, i.e. older asians raised outside of western countries vs younger asians raised in western countries or is it intragenerational where even those asians who are younger and in the same age group are of the opinion that there are some set of behaviors that makes one asian?
It is like how my white mom and dad used to make fun of me for liking rap in 1989. Thats a parents just dont understand thing.
Id hope that was all that is taking place.
If it is happening between the youth, that would have to mean that there is a large group of immigrants that dont really care about canada or its way of life and are even mildly disgusted by it and here just to profit.
That's a sad prospect.
I have an afghan friend who had to go home after his visa for school expired here.
The dude was in tears, thanking canada and its people for saving his life. He so much wanted to be a Canadian, it broke my heart.
Made me realize what I take for granted. I told him he deserved to be here more than me.
So I dont really want to think about the youth to youth thing.
Im gonna assume it's generational for my own mental health.
