Living Liminally: Exploring the Asian American Identity

Steven Zhang

When Asian Americans can’t fit in white communities because they’re too Asian, but can’t fit in Asian communities because they’re too white, where do they go? In this episode, I interview two Asian Americans in a school I attend and ask them what it is like living in the liminal space between two cultures and identities. In the end, we explore what it means to be Asian American, and how it can be an entirely new identity.
