Case Study: Please watch this TedTalk by Canwen Xu, Titled "I Am Not Your Asian Stereotype" (2016). Pay attention to how those comments that she describes from people who are racist, not racist, or clueless affect her? Canwen Xu has experienced many situations where people look at her outward appearance and make assumptions. These assumptions were hurtful because it made her feel like she didn't belong (can you relate?) Which then led to Canwen trying to move as far away as she could from her identity as an Asian American. This causes Canwen to lose a sense of who she is.
