I guess I'm the minority here when I say that I do have some pride in being Asian American, but I'm definitely not an "AZN PRIDE" Asian American. I eat my rice and adobo with pride, I gather with other Filipinos at parties and watch as our parents dance to old 90's dance music, I was my friends partner for her Debutantes Ball...
But at the same time I don't speak Tagalog. I eat more fried chicken than fish. On a daily basis, if someone were to live my life, the only time they would realize they're Filipino is when they see my mom every morning. My bedroom could easily be confused with any other American teen's bedroom - cars, chicks, video games (oh is there anything else to life?
).
Some of my closest friends are white guys who hunt, fish, and race muscle cars. I fit in with them more than anyone else. But I still have pride in being Asian American. It sets me apart from them.
