In Response to: “I Am A Man with a Heart”
A lot of people who immigrate to America from their homeland
tend to experience a lost period in identity and the struggle of wanting to
assimilate into the culture and country.
They may feel a sense of mixed feelings of transnational
citizenship. I think in the situation of
Andrew in this article he may be feeling a sense of cultural transnational
citizenship when he’s in school with his American friends and trying to adapt
to the popular culture of America. For me,
I definitely felt like I went through a cultural transnational citizenship whenever
I’m around my family because I feel enriched in my surrounding culture but
there’s this lingering feeling that I don’t belong because I’m not “Filipino”
enough or I’m too “American” for everyone else.
It’s very interesting to see that people get involved with their rights
and student activism. I think that
something the everyone has resonated with at one point or another is basically “Fake
it tell you make it”
Why do we glorify this idea of popular culture and how has it evolved into American Asians?
