Identity Crisis?
Not really.
At least 10 people have told me that they thought I was Korean since I've moved here. I'm pretty sure more think I am. Maybe it's because all the Chinese are on the west coast, but I know and associate with more Koreans than Chinese now.
But then again, most of the Chinese here are international students, so I'm considered white-washed here in Emory. I can't really communicate with the native speakers so I talk to basically everyone who can speak English more than I talk to Chinese people.
I don't know. I find this change in environment extremely odd and somewhat shocking because I've always imagined myself surrounded by people who share my culture everywhere I go. I know I'm more American than Chinese but I'm scared of losing my roots.
