Edwyn "Eddie" Huang shares his experience of growing up as an outcast and getting the confidence to self-identify without opposing to the dominant culture.
I love Eddie Huang! He's soo inspirational and funny and smart! I love that he's not afraid to be himself and break stereotypes and give a face to Asians in America!
Damn, i can relate to those first words about not having a home so much. I was born in Russia, lived there till i was 15, but i just felt i dont belong, felt weird, when i moved to China, i was just a "laowai" tourist to most people, when i moved to Canada, i was just a "russian dude" to everybody... Citizen off the world
I don't know about anyone else, but I got a kick grossing out my white classmates in elementary with the food i brought to school. I was never insecure or ashamed of my culture.

Being Asian American I can definitely relate to some of the things he speaks about. Glad to see more of this culture break barriers and be heard.
"I could be who I wanted, and you could like it or love it"
yes.
