"Any of these terms may be used by Asians and Asian Americans, as well as non–Asian Americans, to disparage Asians or Asian Americans for a lack of perceived authenticity or conformity, and by non–Asian Americans to praise their assimilation into mainstream white, Anglo, Christian European-American culture."
why are we assuming non-asian americans are using these terms to "praise" anyone for anything?
i tried to access the cited reference, but was unable to.
i feel like they are probably most often meant derogatorily regardless of who is using them. Snarevox (talk) 07:16, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
According to Tu (2011): "Non-Asian/Asian Americans may use these terms ... to praise [Asians/Asian Americans] for successfully assimilating into the Euro-American white mainstream" (link). --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 00:52, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
