It's awkward. I feel I'm considered a minority when it doesn't matter much (e.g., Asian cast members in a movie) but ignored when it does matter (e.g., in the conversation of racial equality, acknowledgement of different ideas and culture, political representation). My family's history is not in the books how difficult it was to even get here (many people died escaping on boats), and started here from nothing in a foreign land where people think your culture is weird. And it's awkward to speak up about those types of things because at least we aren't getting shot up on the streets (yet).

With US and China going into a cold war too, it gets more awkward, and that's even more difficult to speak up about since they're public enemy #1 here.
