Geez, I didn't mean the language issue was the whole thing. I just don't identify with my culture as much as other people might. I do not consider myself a socially conscious Asian woman, I just consider myself a socially conscious woman. Period. I have a sense of self that I do not need to prove to anyone else but myself. My idea of my culture and my roots is my family...but you know what? Thanks for judging me...I couldn't have lived without that.
