Instead of being divided by ethnicity, people came together under the Asian American name and formed a community, they rejected racist stereotypes and fought for justice alongside Black, Latino, and Native communities. It was about destroying oppression. Fighting for equal rights

Q2 The authors point was to showcase the struggle of identity for Asian-Americans, and the root of problems that occurred like division among groups, and invisibility.

"...we stopped trying to become who we were not. We stopped trying to assimilate into a society that, although considered the norm, we knew to be severely flawed (pg. 80).

Asian Americans decided to stop trying to be white to be accepted in society. They decided to form their own identity rather than trying to be someone they were not.

# data[].attributes.body
The author’s point is that Asian Americans in the 1960s and 1970s created a new identity for themselves. Instead of being called names by others, they chose their own words, like “Asian American” and “Yellow Power,” to show pride and unity. This change in language helped build a movement where Asian Americans stood together and joined with other groups fighting for justice.

we are all the same

we bleed red

we have dreams

we have goals

we have families

we are not all different

but under certain eyes, we are

so we try to assimilate into a society that sees us as inferior

but wake up, you will never be like them

come back and claim your identity

wear your culture proudly

We believe that the author wanted to persuade the message that there are many people of diffrent ethnic backgrounds that want to feel a sense of belonging in America. Even though they were a bit of an outcast they still chose to embrace themselves and be proud of their identity. An example of how they might have felt like an outcast was being called by term "yellow".

The author's main point is that language is important, especially when it comes to identity. There were many discussions and debates about what Asians in America should be referred to. Ultimately the term "Asian American" was coined and received by the people.

My groups analysis were what we thought about Chapter 3. And, how the main point were about their identity and how difficult it was being Asian Americans where they lived and the struggles that came along with it.

Concepts

A concept and word we found interesting was "identity." "The first was the concept of identity. The supremacy of whiteness required all people of color to ruggedly declare their decolonized identity, as symbolized in the slogan 'Black is beautiful,'" on page 65 (Ishizuka, 2015).

# data[].attributes.body
Model minority, Yellow, and Oriental were used quite frequently in the chapter.

"Having broken through the double consciousness of seeing ourselves through the Orientalizing gaze of white America, we stopped trying to become who we were not." (Ishizuka, 2018, p. 71)

# data[].attributes.body
Something that stood out was on page 60 where it says "If we weren't "white" or "black", "Oriental", or the "model minority"- all the words that defined who we were not- then what words might define who we were?". This idea mentions that the Asian Immigrants had to come up with their own identity that was socially acceptable and not what they truly wanted. Socially, they were labeled with color but they wanted something deeper, more true to who they were as a culture.

"As "Negros" became "Black" and Mexican Americans became "Chincano"', what could signify our transformation? "Yellow"? "yellow" "Amerasian"? (Pg.53)

"Yellow Power" was adopted by Asian Americans in an effort to erase prejudice and bring the racial and political community together. Motivated by Black Power and worldwide movements for freedom, they fought for racism, for freedom, and for solidarity with people of color. This movement established a new identity founded on empowerment and resistance by connecting their American struggle to global movements for freedom.

The point of this chapter is to explain how Asian Americans were able to start creating an identity for themselves and express their culture.

In the chapter it focused on taking back negative words such as "oriental" "yellow" and changing the bad stereotypes into their own identity and symbols.

"Amerasia is not only an organization, it is also a state of mind. Later that year another Gidra article, Amerasian Culture, described Amerasians as having a common history of oppression here in this country and therefore a common bond in opposition to the term Oriental."

Group Analysis:

A lot of people from different background felt like they needed an area that they can fit in. A lot of minorities and from ethnic background wanted a sense of belonging, however, there were a lot of stereotypes, and you are typically put into certain categories. They were put into different categories despite coming here for a better life and wanting to improve their way of living.

A quote that really stood out to us, We Asian Americans refuse to cooperate with the White Racism in this society…

We Asian Americans support all oppressed peoples…

We Asian Americans oppose the imperialistic policies being pursued by the American government. (Ishizuka 62). These quotes show how AAPA joined together to over power the struggles of oppression by working together.

In the quiet streets, our voices spark,

From whispered doubts to a roaring mark.

Hands joined, hearts aligned, we claim our space,

Breaking the molds, running our own race.

Stories once hidden now rise to the sky,

Pride in our skin, we refuse to deny.

Through struggle and laughter, our spirit ignites,

Turning small sparks into blazing lights.

No shadows remain where our courage walks,

Yellow Power shines, in actions and talks.

# data[].attributes.body
At first, Yellow was just a color.

Individually categorized,

there was Black, White, Yellow.

Stereotypes that couldn't "mix",

but the "Yellow" found a way around that.

Reclaiming power through group action,

"Yellow" wasn't just a word,

it was a sense of pride.

More than a color,

it was a community of strength and resilience.

Poem/Freestyle

Yellow Power

Something that was being empowered

Something that should not cower

Something that should have the upmost importance

We should use all our willpower

To make everyone equal in our society

To reduce anxiety

To gain intersociety

Should be the goal

So let's take a stroll

To come together as a whole

But for now, Yellow Power is on the patrol

Our group analysis on this chapter is that Asian Americans have struggled to identify themselves because of what was stereotyped on them.  Through the Yellow Poem movement they were able to embrace themselves.

Some concepts I wanted to add were also "identity," "empowerment," and "subjectivity" (p. 61). I thought these words stood out in chapter 3 because they are important and should be valued. Additionally, this shows recognition. I also think "model minority" (p.60) shows that identities are being placed onto them when it doesn't truly represent them.

"Difference was now valued over sameness, and the broader climate of progressive opinion recognized a multitude of groups, such as ethnic minorities, women and LGBTQ, emphasizing identity and subjectivity" (Ishizuka, p.61)

They once called us Oriental, not people.
False science tried to say we were less.
We broke the silence with a new name,
Asian American, strong and proud.

Yellow Power rose in the streets,
not with fear but with unity.
We stood with Black, Brown, and Red,
together against racism and lies.

We found our voices, we found our power.
A new identity was born through struggle.

In chapter 3, "Yellow Power" of Growing Up Asian in America, the author reflects on how Asian Americans began to resist stereotypes and reclaim pride in their identity. The chapter shows how activism and solidarity gave them a stronger voice, challenging the idea that they should stay silent or invisible. It highlighted the importance of embracing their cultural aspect while fighting for equality.

# data[].attributes.body
In Chapter 3 "Yellow Power," it is discussed about the experience of Asians growing up in America, which is with the "majority of black-and-white." Asian Americans have dealt with difficult issues like not fitting in with the American community. Something that had stood out was on page 60, "'Speak a new language so that the world will be a new world!'" This shows a perspective of the idea that Asians should adapt to the American world by using the language the majority uses. This shows the pressure that Asians may come across and lose their cultural identity.

# data[].attributes.body
They were belittled,

Overlooked and mocked.

Their voices then grew,

Leaving the world shocked.

Fighting urges to conform,

They stayed true to their identity.

Making a name for themselves,

An authentic and rightful community.

There once was a time,

Asian American culture was new.

As time went on,

Their 'Yellow Power' grew.
