“Yellow”.
Warmth, vintage, childlike, curiosity.
“Asian”.
not Asian anymore when you only know very superficialfacts about the
Asian culture, or when you don't take it seriously(only make fun of it /
joke about it but having very little respect/ prideabout good things in
the culture)
being Asian is your upbringing (the values your familytaught you that
are different from Western values), maybe common knowledge(about
Asian history/ cultural arts/ speaking a language).
Ethnicity|part1.
culture, heritage. humbled, partially proud, sometimes disappointed.

with fondness but also with a critical eye towardssome of its
inherently wrong values.
Ethnicity|part2.

surroundings and the country brought up in, thoughtsare negative
response to racism.
