Life Of Stephanie Gallop
Many Chinese Americans often say how burdensome, aside from annoying, it is to live in a nation where Asians are identified and defined by their race and not by their individuality. Now let us view the other side of the door for an American who married a Chinese American. This is how the life of Stephanie Gallop has been turned around from the dream of a simple married life to a struggling double-sided world of reality she challenged to face in the name of love. When I asked what made her decide that her marriage is worth fighting for against all odds, Gallop says in the interview that it is a natural instinct. “You know it is worth fighting for if you cannot imagine any other man to wake up with in the mornings except him, and my cats.” She

    Summary Of Neither Real Americans Nor Real Asians By Mia Tuan

    In Neither Real Americans nor Real Asians? Multigeneration Asian Ethnics Navigating the Terrain of Authenticity, Mia Tuan discusses how Asian Americans today are not fully Asian nor fully American, and are characterized as not Asian enough due to the way they behave and/or live. Tuan discusses that when Asians interact with non-Asian people, they must “fight” to prove that they are not embracing their Asian roots more than their American roots due to wanting to feel accepted. On the other hand, they are seen as less Asian by “authentic” Asians, due to them not fully embracing their ethnic roots.…

    Procedural Differences Between Ellis And Angel Island

    They had to sneak across the border into China and embark on a ship there to get to America. However, the ratio of Korean men to women in the states soon became a problem, with few to no options to have a Korean marriage and not many choosing to have an interracial marriage. Due to arranged marriages already being the common practice in Korea, Korean Picture Brides became the new norm for many. The women ranged from 14-25 years old and usually were a decade or two younger than their prospective husbands. They were matched with the help of a matchmaker or relative and the use of pictures, letters, and other correspondence, leading to the label “Picture Brides” (Lee & Yung, 2010, p. 199-200).…

    Amy Tan Figurative Language

    Amy Tan allows us to deepen our understanding of her world by finding every day items and ideas that Americans can relate to such as a mother’s desire to do the best for their children, or using meals to represent a nurturing love, or a vase to represent a rocky foundation, or the pain that comes from hiding your true self. The use of figurative language in this novel removes the barriers from both the Chinese and the American cultures and customs therefore allowing us to examine each other not through the eyes of a specific race but through the eyes of one race, the human race.…

    Fobs Vs Twinkies Analysis

    In Grace’s article, she focuses her main idea of her article towards younger Asian women. In April, 2005, she explained that the problem lies with the community and that it is an interracial problem. She also said, “We must face the problems within the community first, then they can focus on the ones outside.” Her tone towards these important issues is very serious and informative. Grace informs the reader that second-generation Asian Americans receive lots of pressure from their parents, who want their kids to live within their culture. However these young Asian Americans often divide into two groups based on beliefs on these cultures. The first group tends to hold on to every last aspect of their culture, while the other attempts to disregard it as much as…

    Personal Narrative: My Asian-American Dream

    As a minority, immigrating from Korea to a wildly different country like the United States has been the most influential decision that my family made to live the possibility of the "American Dream". Moreover, growing up as an Asian-American wasn’t simple; I was faced with the challenge of malicious racial slurs, spiteful judgment, and condemnation. However, through these criticism, I’ve grown to understand that our response to those judgements is what builds character in which has made me more transparent, vulnerable, and empathetic.…

    Asian American Interracial Relations

    Throughout history, interracial relations have had a big impact within the Asian American community. There was an increase in the number of interracial relationships, particularly between Asian women and American soldiers as they served overseas in Asian countries and spent time in military bases. The War Brides Act of 1945 allowed U.S servicemen to bring their alien brides and families to the U.S. following World War II. In 1947, an amendment made it possible for U.S. soldiers to bring their Japanese and Korean wives. After those enactments, thousands of women from Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines came to the U.S. as war brides. Often these women were looked down upon, were seen as “tainted”, and were shunned from their communities.…

    The Effects of Gender on the Acceptability of Interracial Relationships

    Interracial relationships are on the rise in the United States. Based on the Census Bureau data, “About 15 percent of all new marriages in the United States in 2010 were between spouses of a different race or ethnicity, more than double the share in 1980” (Census Bureau, 2010). The Census Bureau also found that marrying outside of one 's race or ethnicity is most common among Asians and Hispanics, two immigrant groups that have grown tremendously. “About 30 percent of Asian newlyweds in the study married outside of their race, and about a quarter of Hispanic newlyweds reported marrying someone of another race” based on the Census Bureau. The African-American population also saw increases in interracial marriage, with the number of blacks participating in such marriages roughly tripling since 1980. According to the Census Bureau, “About 16 percent of African-Americans overall are in an interracial marriage followed by whites at 9 percent, were likely to marry someone of a different race or ethnicity” (Census Bureau, 2010).…
