When I was reading Dr. Jung-Sun Park “Korean American Youth and Transnational Flows of Popular Culture across the Pacific”, I connected strongly with the stories of the 1.5 generation Korean American immigrants. As a 1.5 generation immigrant myself, I had trouble fitting into the American society at the beginning. Therefore, during the first year after immigration, I mostly stayed home with my parents and grandparents after school, and I would only watch the latest TV shows and news from my home country. Just like some of the Korean Americans’ experiences described in the article. I did not have a sense of belonging to my school at the time or even United States as a whole. The only things that provide comfort and familiarity to me were my family and the TV shows and news from my home country.
It has been estimated that the number of minorities will surpass the White majority in 30 years due to immigration and the increasing birth rate of ethnic babies. At that time, will the American culture be more diverse and less discriminatory, or will it continue to maintain western ideas and values even though Whites no longer make up the majority of the U.S. population?
