My mother reworked right into a swish, elegant lady holding her personal as she haggled over mahogany chairs, a far cry from the nervous lady I went buying with in Outdated City Pasadena. My father would order for us at eating places in Cantonese and Taiwanese, a stark distinction to how he stuttered via easy English phrases at Denny’s. And once we visited throughout Lunar New Yr, I felt downright invincible as I regarded on the purple lanterns hanging from each storefront, the festive spirit of town washing over me. I didn’t understand it then, however Monterey Park’s refusal to assimilate into America’s racial binary helped me proudly embrace my Asian American id in highschool and school.” (NYMag)

I’m nonetheless unsure if we did or didn’t eat cat meals and baguette for lunch that day.”
