Eddie Huang Quotes
These Same ABCs Couldn't Speak Chinese And Didn't Care---but You Don't Have Shit Without Your Native Tongue. African Slaves Were Forced By Threat Of Physical Punishment To Abandon Their Native Languages, But A Lot Of Us Just Gave Ours Up With A Shrug---these Uncle Chans Convinced Us To Assimilate, Shut The Fuck Up, And Play The Part. What They Didn't Understand Is That After Your Have The Money And Degrees, You Can't Buy Your Identity Back. I Wasn't Worried About Degrees, But I Cared About My Roots. Even If I Hated What It Meant To Be An Asian In T He American Wilderness, I Respected The Chinese Home I Was Raised In. Usually I Wasn't So Vocal About Asian Identity, But Without My Parents Around, I Felt A Sudden Duty To Say Something Myself. It's Funny How Annoying I Thought My Mom Was, But As Soon As She Wasn't Around, I Carried The Torch For Her.
