What is something that you did not know about the Asian American culture before taking this class? Has this new information you learned effected your daily life in anyway?
before taking this class i found out i knew so little about my own culture. Taking this class i got a chance to dig a little bit deeper into the filipino history as well as other culture like the korean community in Sa i gu, about the Chinese exclusion act...
Before this class i had no clue to kpop (korean pop music), it has opened my eyes and ears to a whole new world of music. I listen to everything and now have a new found respect to kpop
Before taking this class I never knew that Hmong was even a race until we read "The Latehomecomer". I never knew there was a race that didn't have a homeland. They went through a great deal of struggles and gave up so much to get here. Just for that, I have mad respect for them. This made me thankful to have the life I live now and that I did not have to go through struggles like them.
Before taking this class I didn't know that most well known YouTube users were Asians. Now I realize how much the Asian American community has evolved over the years.
Before taking this class, I never knew how popular k-pop was in America. I knew about it because of my Korean and other Asian friends, but I didn't know that non-Asians were so into it as well.
I learned a lot about important dates and other cultures. I learned much about the Hmongs! I learned a lot about other people in the class and thoroughly enjoyed the class as a whole.
Before this class, I assumed that only Asians listened to Korean Pop music. I guess that just like every other genre in music, it isn't only limited to one group of people. I'm still not sure as to why people who don't speak/understand Korean listen to the music, but that's a question for another day. Probably the beats and the way it sounds.
