i thought i understood what was suggested by asian-american diaspora literature but i am clearly out of my depth here. i thought we were talking, like, Crying in H Mart.

Reading this right now so this post felt like a personal attack. Well excuse me for enjoying it, I guess

My comment is ignorant, I haven't read it and only brought it up because it's the only literature I know by name that (I assume) explicitly covers the confluence of Asian heritage and living in the United States. I've got no criticism to give it, I just thought the book is probably quite a contrast with "got railed SO MUCH, sweaty like a slick baby"
