Asian people in Australia: adaptation?

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 17 November 2013 | 03.41



MICHELLE Lee is an Asian woman who grown and processed in Australia.
He is an educated writer, philanthropist, and held the ordinary travel, such that most Aussie women want.

 She's also Asian, sassy, tough and independent.
Lee grew up in Canberra, but now he lives in Melbourn.
Lee has been about providing outstanding ideas in his book Banana Girl.

She said she wrote the book because he wanted to dispel myths and stereotypes in the Asian culture in Australia.
"I began writing this as part of a course and ended up exploring what it means to be Asian," she said.

Lee admits there were certain expectations placed on her to do well, as the old man who escaped from the state of war.

Racism does exist:
"The book is my story about coming of age and also finding myself," she said.
Lee said he found himself in his book and life in Austalia, including the racist thing.
He admits that it's only issue, but in real life he found his sister in taunted at school.
"I didn't find racism that overt, except for the few odd occasions" she said.
"I know kids would play chopsticks on the piano to my sister, but I wasn't really exposed to that sort of behaviour.
"But you know hateful comments like that comment (n-word) do stick in my mind."
Lee said the Australian people understand it is very difficult, because on one hand there is the celebration of culture about side but on the other hand there is the Cronulla riots and refugee debate spoke volumes about certain demographics Australian.

Culture is alive and well:
Having been raised in Canberra, Lee said she was among a small Hmong group.
Her parents never forced her to go to language school but as the third of seven children, and the first born in Australia, she was taught the importance of family.
"I'm sure my parents would have loved for me to learn cultural dancing and stuff like that but the demand just wasn't there," she said.
