I want to figure out how I can be the kind of brown that’s in solidarity with being a person of color but also the kind that eats rice with my hands and speaks in Bangla.

I grew up in an era when there weren’t a lot of examples of Koreans in the media in general. I mean, I remember freaking out one time because “Diff’rent Strokes” was my favorite show when I was a kid. There was one episode where there was a random Korean story line, and I was like, what? Just being acknowledged was a major thing. Every Korean you see, you feel an affinity to, in some way.
