Kaining Huang ASA 115, week 5 reading blog

In this week, I did the reading: "Doing the Mixed Race Dance: A Multiracial Vietnamese American Class Typology.", " The Impact of Internet Publishing and Online Communications on Mixed-race Discourse", "Bill of Rights for People of Mixed Heritage.", "Eurasian  Hybridity in Chinese Utopian Visions: From 'One World' to 'A Society Based on Beauty' and Beyond.", " Beautiful Stereotypes: The Relationship Between Physical Attractiveness and Mixed Race Identity.", "Melyssa, Forsyth Harmon, 2013", "Tomika", "Muslim community", "Staff SGT. Dan Heaton, U.S Air Force, 2006".

The writing of Valverde gives me the most impressive reading experience. She is a mixed race person of American and Vietnamese. Growing up at Bay area, professor Valverde was involved into the typical issue of American- Vietnamese races. Her cultural identity was questioned by people, and the society classified them by "Social Dance". The questions asking to Professor Valverde is sensitive according to the hierarchy of American and Vietnamese. Professor Valverde discussed the response to the questions and her thoughts in many aspects, including gender, education, history. Although I am not a mixed race person, I can easily get involved in the mood and thoughts of Professor Valverde. The questions asked to her are what being asked to millions of mixed race people of American and Vietnamese. The classification of the society may not evolve discrimination at first, but actually the questions develop into future discrimination according to the existing hierarchy. My question is: how people of Mono-race communicate with multiracial people without mentioning any topics which could be sensitive to them?

Here is a baby of mixed race baby and her family members.
