has grown and transformed, it becomes quite the opposite. I rarely ever see minority races trying to avoid who they really are by assimilating to the white culture to such a degree as in the 70’s. What I see is that parents actually want their children to embrace their cultural background because so many of them are born in America or mixed that they don’t know their full identity. When I was just about four years old my mother enrolled my brother, sister, and me to dance at a Chinese studio. This was all a part of getting to know our Chinese background. I continued this for 14 years because I loved how the company had mixture of dances from all over Asia and included ballet. It just shows how America has accepted more culturally different people and let them bring their culture to the U.S. Opposite to what Yoshino was taught, I learned to accept not only who I am, but also what I am
