Interesting, important read. But in the diversity of cultures, interests and motivations depicted here, it also shows how increasingly unhelpful the "Asian-American" rubric is becoming. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/11/02/are-asian-americans-the-last-undecided-voters">https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/...

There& #39;s nothing that links a GOP-voting Vietnam War-era refugee in Orange County with a lefty Harvard-educated Indian kid in PA beyond the fact that they both trace their backgrounds from a continent that& #39;s home to the majority of humanity. Yet they both exist in this article.

"Asian-American" is a relic of the 1960s and 1970s, a useful term perhaps for East Asian-origin solidarity in West Coast colleges. But I hope one day it will sound as strange to most people as "European American."
