How do we approach the labels of "Asian" and "Asian American", and how does the complexity of modern cultural blends and globalization blurred their boundaries? How has categorization been historically highly politicized, and what are the political and historical context of identity labels that could be traced back to the origin of "race" as a social construct?
Through a in-depth conversation with Jessica Zhang, a senior at NMH, we dive into the fluid evolvement of socially defined identities and together reframe how we should approach categorization.
