EDDIE HUANG:

Because, in a lot of ways, I feel like this generation of Asian-Americans are frontiersmen.

We're the first generation, a lot of times, that's been born here and has to deal with not growing up in your ancestral homeland or something close to it and trying to reconcile that. And because you don't have role models, because you don't have people, you know, that have done it before you, there's a bit of fear.

There's a bit of like, am I doing this right? Am I a fraud? And I think it is one of those essential questions that every Asian-American kid this generation asks themselves.
