My Definition of Asian American

In the dictionary there is a definition of what an Asian American is and it says a citizen or resident of the U.S. of Asian birth or descent. Ha! sure that's what everyone thinks it is, but there are some people who think differently about what being an Asian is really about, people like me.
My definition after learning lots of stuff from this class, being an Asian and living in the US doesn't mean you're an Asian American, but mixing up two different cultures into your own thing. Something that can explain this pretty well is that of cooking, when cooking people tend to mix things in and creating a dish, they can also mix two old things and create a new dish! Cooking is always evolving and so is Asian American's and their culture. What I really am trying to say is that my definition for an Asian American is pretty much undefined because we are always changing and nothing ever stays the same. So if you are looking for a definition for Asian American, then my advice to you is to find it yourself and you think what it means to you.
