Just because I’m Asian
Doesn’t mean I know ancient Kung Fu secrets
Doesn’t mean I’m a porcelain geisha
Doesn’t mean I’m shy or submissive

Just because I’m Asian
Doesn’t mean I’m fragile and can’t be athletic
Doesn’t mean I’m an object, or an alien
Doesn’t mean we’re all the same China dolls

Just because I’m Asian
Doesn’t mean I’m some sort of prodigy
Doesn’t mean I’m conservative conformist
Doesn’t mean I’m perfect at everything

Just because I’m Asian
Why does my skin define me?
Who are you to judge?
Why does it even matter?
I’m proud to be who I am.
