That second paragraph is the reason why some Asian American kids have a difficult time opening up about their experiences 😬

Already grew up feeling intense pressures to "fit in" in school and at family functions only to feel ostracized in one or both environments.

We decide not to speak our truth because better Asians will talk down about "white washed" Asians and how we're cringe or embarrassing.

Asian expectations of perfectionism and putting community before yourself are already difficult enough to grapple with. I wish people would allow us the grace to talk about our less than fun or ideal upbringing. We are aware how shameful it is to feel ashamed of your culture and doing things to distance yourself from your culture.
Feels like the same ol' "you're a disgrace" shame game to get upset that she is making vegan pork belly.

If OP isn't Asian....😬 the whole secret comes off extremely ignorant. The Asian American diaspora is still something Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z are working towards discussing in every subgroup (Chinese Americans, Vietnamese Americans, etc) in more nuanced ways. Because a lot of us didn't have the same experiences or support systems and we often feel like our experiences will be met with ridicule rather than compassion. And seeing the secret maker's comments aren't encouraging lol
