How I learned to be Asian-American

(05/04/18 4:00am)

This column was born because I was tired of not being able to express my Asianness. I’ll admit that I spent my first three years at Duke trying to figure out how to be Asian but not too Asian. After all, I came here to expand my identity, not to close myself in to just one characteristic about my life. It was at Duke that I started to take on the idea of being “Asian-American”, but still don’t know quite now how that label fits in the greater scheme of my life. I’m still trying to parse through bits and pieces of it every day.

Don’t paint me as shy

(04/17/18 10:53pm)

At that start of every semester, I recognize I might be one of only a handful of Asians in my classes. This will most likely be true for the career field I have chosen to pursue going forward as well. I have come to learn that, to some extent, my voice is the perspective of the very few people of color in many rooms I will find myself in. Especially if there are even fewer other people of color in the room, I feel as I have to shoulder some kind of burden of diversity. Not just in the content I expect myself to contribute, but also in the mere addition of my voice in the conversation.

How Asian will my children be?

(03/26/18 4:00am)

I’m 22 years old, and I’m coming to realize that this Taylor Swift year comes with a bit of an ever-looming reality that, especially as a woman, I should start thinking about whether or not I want to start structuring my future around the expectation that I will start my own family. And in this planning stage, I’m starting to realize that at some point, if I do decide to have children, I’m going to have to raise them. Which sounds ridiculous because that’s what parents are supposed to do. Parent. Guide. Provide.

Why these Olympics were different

(03/05/18 5:15am)

The Olympics are to the U.S. like men’s basketball is to Duke. For most of the year, we all mill about our own daily lives and run around campus in our own bubbles. But like tour guides suggest to all million of these Blue Devil Day prospective students on their campus tours, Duke basketball is the unifying event that brings together an otherwise very scattered campus population. We can all rally behind Grayson Allen, scream our heads off for Marvin Bagley III and bow in reverence of Coach K.

The make-up of your bookbag

(10/26/17 4:00am)

It’s bookbagging season and I’m a second semester senior. To round off the final countdown of my time at Duke, I think back on my experiences and I feel so grateful. I have met people from all around the world who supplemented my college education with each of their perspectives and their unique brands of intelligence that led them to Duke. That’s the kind of enriching environment Duke promised me.

Are Asians people of color?

(09/14/17 8:00pm)

In an age where liberals have begun the process of reclaiming the words “Black” and “Brown,” there is no mass movement to don the color “Yellow.” The truth is that the Asian American community has, and will continue to experience an identity crisis. Our complexities are only further exacerbated by the lack of discussion about our own place in this country. We as people have the right to own our identities and recognize where Asians and Asian-Americans stand on race issues. Because right now, it feels like we don’t stand anywhere. And as Americans, that is disappointing.
