最近常常听到孩子们把“Asian”这个词挂在嘴边,“You are so Asian.”“That's very Asian.”于是虚心向他们请教他们所说的这个“Asian”到底有何含义。他们让我看了一段youtube视频,是一个中国孩子制作的。里面解释了“Asian”一词对他们的意义。我觉得很有意思,同时也让我看到了孩子们眼中的我们的形象。我请儿子把视频记录下来,放到这里与大家分享,虽然有些说法很片面,不很正确,但我觉得对我们做父母的也是一种提醒。

亞洲人取代中國人,日本人,印度人是近十餘年來美國政治行動之結果。
目的是與西班牙裔及黑裔分庭抗禮。
美國華人最有政治行動之“美華協會”近年多包括亞洲人活動便是一例。

團結亞洲人是一個艱難的事;中,日,韓,印如何能合作?
