I thought I already knew enough about race and racism, but this unit has taught me otherwise. Although I still think that there are some aspects to race that are in fact biological, much of it still can be due to culture and history. As a Korean myself, I have to admit that certain stereotypes have been put on me, albeit mostly as a joke. However, I used to live in a less diverse community when I was younger and the vast majority of my school was White, middle to upper class families. Although that was a while ago when I was too young to even know what "Asian" was, it was evident that my culture was different from all of my friends, and I remember getting angered by the fact that people would explicitly call us "Chinese" in public (even they were kids). After moving the my current school district, I realized how different it was to live in a more diverse and heavily Korean populated area. In fact, I've actually had a class before that had a majority of Korean students that wasn't Chinese. There are times where I feel like I'm just automatically pulled and labeled to be with the "Asian" crowd of our school, but I don't just limit myself to it and try my best to keep a good balance between maintaining my culture yet also embracing other ones. Something that especially stuck out to me though were the L.A. riots because although it may be stereotypical, many Koreans are pretty racist (whether implicit or explicit, and it was interesting to see a lot of that racism so extremely manifested.
