Here the issue of Asian-American identity is addressed, particularly the trend (because of changes in immigration laws from the 1960s) of Asian ethnics not feeling “Asian enough” despite a third of them having been born in the United States. Thus ensues the conflict between national and ethnic identity. To what extent do these identity crises occur in other immigrant ethnicities? How do second- or third-generation immigrants go about dealing with social stigmas from both their mother country and the US? Do our tendencies to group people by ethnicity hinder assimilation in the long run and does this mean that mainstream American society will be utterly unable to move past labels like “white” “black” “Hispanic” and “Asian-American”, etc.?
