Then I have to remember, if I hadn't been an Asian American Studies major in college, I probably wouldn't have, either. Thanks for this post, John.

Apparently, that's a negative. Recently I asked my s/o (significant other) about the Vincent Chin case and he drew a blank. He never heard of Vincent Chin. Ever. The name and the situation didn't even sound familiar to him. And he's an Asian American. On a less severe note, I wonder where his fiancee then-soon-to-be-wife is nowadays. How has she evolved over the years? You'd think she'd become an active socio-political voice for raising consciousness of APA issues, but no. She's virtually disappeared.

Yet - Vincent who? There is much more focus on Asian Americans being a "model" citizen than as targets of hate crimes. Damned if you assimilate, damned if you don't.

Vincent who?

There is much more focus on Asian Americans being a “model” citizen than as targets of hate crimes.

Damned if you assimilate, damned if you don’t.
