That's the problem exactly. We are an invisible minority because for one, our voices don't get amplified, but also, because our histories aren't taught. Our kids grow up not even realizing it. I sure wasn't aware of how very little Asian representation was being taught in my history classes. I just went with it. It wasn't until I was an adult and reconnected with my own community that I woke up and was like "wait a minute, something doesn't feel right here...how is it that these teenagers don't know anything about their own people? How is it that even I didn't know this stuff about my own people?" It took a lot of self-educating and question asking and networking to educate myself and to learn about the part Asians played in American history. Not just my own people, but Asians in general, and even now, I could stand to learn more.
