I need Answer for classmate: A.L
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and growing up as a child I was often referred as an “ABC” from my family members. The term “ABC” simply meant American Born Chinese, and refers to children who are Chinese, but are unfamiliar with Chinese culture, traditions, and customs due to being born into American culture. Looking back at my childhood, I remember Junior High School was a very tough time for me to get through as I struggled to relate to my cultural and ethnic identity. The school I attended was diverse, however, I still felt like I did not belong in my school community. Being Chinese and coming from a cultural background that is considered a minority, I was often bullied at the school I was attending. I felt ashamed about being Chinese, and I started to speak my native language less frequently.
During JHS, I don’t think I handled the situation very effectively, as I often felt depressed and ashamed about being who I am. One thing that boosted my self-esteem about my ethnicity and cultural upbringing is meeting and hanging out with new friends from the same cultural background, who accepted one another for who we are. JHS is a time where teenagers are figuring out themselves, and we cannot technically change how others act or behave. According to Lynch & Hanson (2011), ethnicity, language, race, and cultural influences are things we often see in others easily, rather than in ourselves. With age, time, and maturity, I learned to embrace my cultural and ethnic background. Today I am proud to be Chinese and proud to be bilingual, speaking both Cantonese as my native language, and English as my second language. This is a part of me I never want to lose and learned to fully embrace to share for future generations. Our cultural background is more than what meets the eye. Culture is more than what we see, such as race, ethnicity, or the language we speak. Culture is what shapes our values, beliefs, and behaviors, which can be influenced by our personal experiences, socio-economic status, education level, and so much more (Lynch & Hanson, 2011).
Due to the recent pandemic, I was faced with a similar situation. People from Asian descent were faced with a lot of backlash, racism, and verbal harassment. Instead of being sad about what is going on, I spoke up for myself and for my community. Maybe, because I am older now and I am more aware, I did not feel ashamed about being Asian, rather I wanted to help those who were affected by the pandemic both physically and mentally. I joined AAPI movements to advocate for Asians and to bring communities together.
Lastly, I want to say that not one culture or ethnicity is 100% alike. Culture is one thing that is continuously changing and evolving as there are many factors that shape our behaviors, beliefs, and values. It is important for everyone, including myself to be culturally aware and sensitive to one’s own cultural identity, as well as other cultures that differ from our own. According to Lynch & Hanson (2011), we cannot generalized people’s actions and/or behaviors based on their cultural or ethnic background, as there are many other factors that come into play that has an influence on behavior.
