My mom offered to make spaghetti with marinara sauce today and so I got excited
since I wasn’t going to eat Asian food. Then I look in the sauce. She put tofu

As an Asian parent, I have high expectations of my children and both of my
children are high achievers, but both were able to socialize with friends and go
to things like sleep-overs. In an effort to get attention to sell a book, one of
our own paints an entire culture by her actions and simplistic explanations.
Being Asian is more than stories about rice cookers and ramen. Being Asian in
America is about finding a path that melds our cultural experiences with the
multiculturalism that is America. We can’t let one voice from one book or one
WSJ article define who we are! MLIA

Today, I was dubbed ‘egg’ by my older siblings because I have been declared
Honorarily Asian by everyone at my school. I get good grades, I just joined the
K-Pop Dance club, I love Udon and rice, and I play the piano.
I’m a ginger.
