Take a class in Japanese Washi papermaking. One thing that came out of that is identity politics, which a lot of ethnic groups become really invested in. So we not only have the separation of different racial groups, like African American, Latinx, and Asian American, but we also have this separation of different ethnic groups within those racial categories. Asian American is a racial category that becomes a strategic coalition in the sense that it allows these different ethnic groups to gain rights and recognition from the state by laying claim to this racial identity.
AAPI as a category is a fragile, even if politically useful, political coalition. All Asians have very different relationships to the U. And then we have the Pacific Islander designation which is a really contentious designation within Asian American studies because of the way that Pacific Islanders actually often have more in common with indigenous populations than they do with Asian American ones.
Specifically in Hawaii, a lot of people who identify as Pacific Islanders are often at the bottom rung economically and socially compared to their wealthier Chinese and Japanese counterparts who control most of the Hawaiian economy and have had more access to resources and wealth.
There are these interethnic tensions in places like Hawaii which have a strong Pacific Islander population who would rather be understood as native or indigenous and not as Asian American.
If we could transform the recognition of AAPI Heritage Month into a recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander history, then we could maybe do some of this important work of recognizing Asian violence and Asian immigrant labor as contributions, not just cultural contributions that we can turn into a spectacle to be safely consumed or into commodity practices like yoga.
