I hate half Asians.Now before you jump to conclusions,Gasping in horror, a BLANKET RACISTOne who wants racial purity,Look at that tiny girl on the podiumAn ASIAN NAZILet me justify and explainThis conundrum.Half Asians carry in their physical featuresThe burdens that EVERY “Asian American” carries,Embodied in their HALF-slanted eyes(we full breeds use eyelash glue to give ours the double lids)Is the acknowledgmentThat they belong to every culture,And no culture, a combination that resultsIn the decapitation of their identityLunch boxes packed with mac and cheeseEaten with chopsticksBrown colored hair“where you from china dollNi hao maOh rightYou’re not ChineseYOU’RE A HALFIE”Disconnected from identitiesWanting to sceam“I’M NOT FAKEI’M JUST THE PHYSICAL VERSIONOF THE ASIAN AMERICAN”… the best of both worldsOr maybe just one that doesn’t have rootsTrying to find meaningShunned by true “Asians”Not white or black or brown or yellowWith no one to run toNo cultural connectionsMaybe speak flawless Englishbut strangers in new yawk speakin’ slowly to themmaybe speak perfect mandarinbut perpetual foreigner to the Chinesethe yellow mulattoshamed out of their heritageyou are not one or both,but neither …and that is why I hate being half-Asian,half “American.”
