Hi.
Welcome back to eat your crest podcast.
I'm Crystal.
I'm Jisoo.
I'm Diane.
So today, our guest is from East Bay.
She's constantly classified as a whitewashed Asian.
And she's my childhood friend, and we met pretty early on through things like chinese dance, which I feel like is.
So far from being whitewashed.
Yeah, that's so true.
Hi, guys.
Thanks for having me on the show.
I'm so excited.
Yay.
So we brought Diane on kind of to, like, debunk some things or stereotypes about, quote unquote, being whitewashed, because I feel like she was labeled whitewashed a lot, but that didn't necessarily mean that she was actually non asian.
But I think there's a lot of other underlying things.
Yeah, I think it was kind of interesting because as we were brainstorming and discussing what being whitewashed even means, a lot of the, I guess, points of the definition of being whitewashed seems to be kind of something that you would impose on someone or something that you would label someone and not necessarily things that you would identify about yourself.
So it's interesting because people, I guess, force this label on a lot of asian people when they might not even feel whitewashed themselves.
Mm hmm.
And I think this label can be used to really like, other certain Asians who people just don't understand, I guess.
