Diary Entry:


Ex-NAACP leader: 'I identify as black'
http://www.cnn.com//2015/06/16/us/washington-rachel-dolezal-naacp/index.html

I remember years in elementary school, coming home, and asking my father why I wasn't considered "Vietnamese enough" by the new immigrants. It's also unusual to be culturally South Vietnamese-American, and not be allowed to appreciate your own Chinese-American heritage.

In South Vietnam, the clashes between Buddhists, Catholics, Muslims, Japanese, French, Americans, Portuguese, Montagnards, Viet, Cambodian, Thai, Laotian, Hmong and Chinese have caused a culture of self-loathing, in the poor refugees, who "can't afford" to be in Chinese and South Vietnamese language immersion, oppressive, anti-feminist, holiday camps.
