This cartoon is simply about an American born Chinese having
a crush on an adorable white girl, but the reality is that this white girl only
dating with whites, and she has already
have a crush on another white boy. So, he is in the self-abasement that he wishes
he were one of the white.
Living in a neighbor with other races can be both exciting
and desperate. Precisely speaking, multiracialism could generate diversity, but
it could also generate racism. As a Chinese student living in the US and
seeking for a relationship with local white people is a burdensome task. As you
can see from this picture, what’s striking audiences is the topic of
self-identification. From the bottom of our heart, we can simply ask ourselves:
Who are we?
The motivation for creating this piece is from our bloodline.
Our group are composed of three Chinese students, and we’ve been to US for
several years. We’ve had similar experience for dating white girls. At first,
we didn’t know ethics is one of the major factors for seeking a relationship.
Nonetheless, it seems to us that white boy dating a white girl makes more
senses than an Asian dating a white girl.
Being an artist is quite a sensitive job, since we have to
reveal what’s being covered and to express our emotion for it. The main purpose
for this piece of art is that we advocate each race should be respected, and
more importantly, we can’t lose our own identity but to keep it and remind
ourselves of who we really are.
The concept matches with the art. It's pretty funny wanting to have a blond fro. Good job.
