Just becasue I'm Asian
I'm not fragile
I'm not weak
I'm not frail

Just because I'm Asian
I don't let people take advantage of me
I don't let people offend me and get away with it
I don't study every second of my life

Just because I'm Asian
It doesn't mean I dont play sports
It doesn't mean you're stronger than me
It doesn't mean you're smarter than me

Just because I'm Asian
Why does it matter?
What is race and culture?
What is life without distinction?

Just because I'm Asian

Just because I’m Asian

Just because I’m Asian
I’m not super-smart
I’m not a karate master
I’m not someone who spends all their time studying

Just because I’m Asian
I don’t play video games for days on end
I don’t run up walls
I don’t eat with chopsticks

Just because I’m Asian
It doesn’t mean I’m stronger than you
It doesn’t mean I’m quicker than you
It doesn’t mean I’m better in every aspect

Just because I’m Asian
What’s the big deal?
Why do you care if you think we’re better?
Why do you just say things that make us seem better?

Just because I’m Asian
