Pls shut up❤ Celeste is the best, I don’t know why you expect her to be perfect. She’s might not have ever said she’s grateful but it’s obvious she is, she always writes books about being Asian in the U.S and it’s implied that she knows she’s privileged. Please learn how to read and understand context clues ❤❤
Agree with the previous replies; thank you to Ms. Ng for giving a voice to the Asian American experience in today’s America, via your novel “Our Missing Hearts”. Growing up in a small city in southern California in the 1960s and 1970s, where my family was the only Chinese American family, was painful and isolating. Moving to Chicago in order to attend dental school was even more of a shock, especially after having attended UCLA. I was one of the first Asian American women to graduate from this top ten dental school in the mid 1980s. There were no Black students in our entire dental school, although the Dean of Admissions was an accomplished Black woman. Although I lived in Chicago’s “gold coast”, the racism was a blatant reminder I experienced on a daily basis for four years. I was hoping that by 2024, Americans would no longer treat Asian Americans as “other”. During the pandemic my biracial daughter and I were shopping in Chinatown when we overheard two white men exclaiming, “Why can’t we get away from all these Asians?!” Duh.
Amazing conversation & well worth the time spent! Thank you!!!
Hey “Spacemonkey”, although Ms. Ng’s husband is “White guy”, her husband’s race does not diminish her as an accomplished author.
…yes push back frm …anti asian is non existent….from 2nd gen asians in usa😢huge concern
Celeste ng is not oppressed. She has never shown any gratitude for the privilege of living in the US. Ridiculous.
