So yes, I'm an " #AngryAsianAmerican," @realDonaldTrump.

I'm angry at you for making me feel unwelcome in the land of my birth.
I'm angry at you for trying to shut down immigration, the lifeblood of our nation, and eliminate birthright citizenship, and even denaturalize those who've already become citizens.
I'm angry at you for distracting us with attacks on China while Asian American frontline healthcare professionals like my sister and my ex-wife work double shifts with insufficient personal protection, treating people for a disease you've utterly failed to contain.
I'm angry at you for taking a month that has been set aside to celebrate the achievements of our AAPI forebears, people who gave their toil, their tears, their hopes, dreams and lives to this country, and turning it into a time of outrage, anxiety and despair.
But most of all, I'm angry at you for daring to claim that you know or care what I feel as an Asian American, what I feel as a part of a community with roots that stretch down deep into this nation and out far across oceans.
Because you, Mr. President, do not speak for us.
And most assuredly, you do not speak for me.
