[QUOTE="CaDan, post: 67242144, member: 24881"] It doesn't feel that way, and I'm not sure why. Folks of Asian identity and heritage were certainly subjected to odious bigotry and discrimination in the US, but it never seemed to get as strongly systematized as anti-blackness. There has been very little work done on the construction of Asian identity on the US. My debaters and I tried to do some research on it last year and the pickings are pretty slim. Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote a while ago that to him growing up, "Jewish was another way of being White." I think something similar applies to folks of Asian identity and heritage. [/QUOTE]
