We are Asians
Our culinary creations are quite unique
The only sizzle we know of comes from our stir fry

We are Asians
We are overachieving, optimistic, opinionated and openly talented at making origami

We are Asians
We live for mathematic equations,
Our calculators cry out desperately to be used
Our pencils yearn for the opportunity to be written with
And our paper’s long for the moment we turn them in for a grade

We are Asians
Perfection means success
To get an A- is like getting an F
Studying comes first,
Everything else comes second


We are Asians
Our culture is eminent in our homes
Our rooms are filled with the scent of incense
You’ll see our chopstick collection on display for all to see
If you’re lucky you’ll even be able to hear us ring our gong

We are Asians
Our reputation is what defines us
We seek approval from others to be able to accept ourselves

We are Asians
Even if we try too hard
Or if we hold education as our first priority
And have different opinions about what we classify as normal
We’re all the same, hard-working, ambitious and understanding
