Thank you for correcting my wording of this subject.

…t take away that they look different, sound different, and come from places far away from America." I hope you know that Americans of Asian descent have been in the U.S. for hundreds of years, even before we became a nation. Yes, there has been a surge of immigrants from Asia since 1965, after the racist immigration laws were changed (which limited who was allowed into the country). My kids are 6th generation Americans, as my husband's family immigrated from China more than 100 years ago. My kids may look Asian, but they definitely sound like regular Americans and "came from" the local hospital here in California.
Interesting perspective, Shawn.

Thank you for correcting my wording of this subject. I more meant to say that no matter how long a family of Asian descent has been in America, their non-whiteness will always draw discrimination, tragically. Thank you for reading!
