Wow thanks for writing this! I also have a lot of thoughts on these topics, but could never really sit on them for too long (growing up as a token in a rural white area kinda messed me up). Really glad for your perspective, looking forward to the rest!
Thanks for the mention and looking forward to the subsequent parts! It's always especially fascinating to get an Asian American woman's POV from this angle. There's are a ton of Asian American female perspectives that never get promoted because they don't fit into that Asian American culture you criticize in your piece.
i avoid using "american" when the english-speaking asian diaspora includes people in canada, uk, australia, other western countries, and countries with histories of western colonization. compared to hegemony as a term for worldview, politics, power dynamics, whiteness to me has more to do with your relationship with white people as an individual person within society.

How can we distinguish between American Hegemony, Western Hegemony, and Whiteness?
