Struck by the rules of conformity, Asian Americans quickly learned that being "different", having their own culture, communicating their language, and even eating their own foods in American society would only result in racist remarks and decrease their success in society. Children of Asian American immigrants soon resent their culture and heritage in order to be recognized in society. Eventually, realizing the incurable gap conflict it creates with their culture and even their own family, they lose identity within themselves and who they are. Should Asian Americans be expected to hide behind a mask and leave their culture in order to fit into American society?]]> 2023-02-15 17:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ntran7/z1mirztoalw54ld5/wish/2483792364 haiii ^-^ :3 isanjuan1 https://padlet.com/ntran7/z1mirztoalw54ld5/wish/2483883407 2023-02-15 18:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ntran7/z1mirztoalw54ld5/wish/2483883407 source A national library of medicine: the adaption of the immigrants in america ntran7 https://padlet.com/ntran7/z1mirztoalw54ld5/wish/2484011621 The second generation plays a tug of war with the assimilation of growing up in America and their own cultural values; this causes the second and third generations to be dissonant with their own language and culture.]]> 2023-02-15 19:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ntran7/z1mirztoalw54ld5/wish/2484011621 source H isanjuan1 https://padlet.com/ntran7/z1mirztoalw54ld5/wish/2496004696 "But today, many Asian Americans — most of them of East Asian descent — are moving “back” to Asia, citing better job opportunities abroad and the desire to experience life in Asia, as well as anti-Asian racism and other social problems at home. While it’s a trend that began before Covid-19, the United States' mishandling of the pandemic and the ability to work remotely gave young people more motivation to do so."

For diaspora Asians, making this choice presents a host of benefits: “It's much cheaper to maintain the one household as opposed to five different households because you're cooking together, you're eating together,” Das Gupta said. But the maintenance and transference of cultural practices like language and networks is an equally valuable advantage for second-generation family members who are culturally removed from their family’s homeland. “If younger kids are moving in with their parents then they also have connections with the larger extended family and culture,” Das Gupta said."
