The subtitles in this video may be too small to read. They read:

Father: Son, we have to go to the U.S.
Son: Why?
Mother: Son, we're going to the U.S. for the good of your education.
Son: Uhh!


 



Interviews

These interviews are based on real personal experiences. They range from what it feels like to be in America, to assimilate into the American culture, and to be sterotyped based on ethnicity.
Although Queena was born in Vietnam, she only stayed there for 15 days after she was born. She wished she could have stayed in Vietnam to learn more about her own culture.
