"Our parents came here for the American Dream, for you, and for your children. But I doubt they wanted you to forget them or their parents or their parent's parents. A 2nd Gen Albanian friend once told me "Everyone becomes American" and there's truth to that. Still, he welcomed his 1st Gen Albanian friends with open arms and broken Albanian. I hope one day the 2nd+ Gen Asian American communities will one day have the same pride in their roots. Instead of trying to distance themselves from people that today are the the younger versions of their parents and grandparents, they will welcome new Asian Americans with open arms."
