i'm not judging you, but being an asian woman, how do you forget your roots? i'm not saying i read jose rizal books or nothing (though, i'm going to make that move one day), but i at least do not forsake my culture. i'm sure your parents don't associate being filipino with just their family also. i don't speak the language either, but i don't close myself away from other people who share the same culture i do. you don't have to be an activist. why not open yourself up and join an asian or filipino group or something? you'll be surprised how much you'll fit in. they're all not ravers or racers like everyone thinks. they have fun parties, pot luck dinners with sinigang, adobo (pork and chicken), lumpia, and kari-kari (i'm sure you know what these are). there are a ton of "normal" people like yourself in them also.
