How do others perceive us, as Asian Americans?
For this month’s publication, we wanted to examine the stereotypes that we often experience as Asian Americans, especially in a place where Asian American representation is not prominent. Because we are so much more than these assumptions that others may have of us, in a way, we are “rebelling” from society’s perceptions. Rebelling against being the “Model Minority” and the “Perpetual Foreigner.” Are we, however, deviating from the norm if this norm was never the case in the first place?
This month’s magazine will be automatically sent to current members and alumni of AASA, but you can read it for free at the link in our bio! We’ve put a lot of time and love into this publication, so we hope you enjoy it!
