We know. Being an Asian couple is hard.
The modern Asian couple deals daily with the twin pressures of familial expectations and mainstream social stereotypes. We are #1 Asian sons and daughters, heirs to the family legacy, future professionals and entrepreneurs; we are also sexually fetishized/emasculated bodies, straight A graphic calculator programmers, button-down, play-by-the-rules employees, above-average candidates for unfulfilled middle management careers. In other words, we are, from both of our sides of our fractured identities, the product of other people’s fantasies — fantasies of the mitigated American dream: not fame, but stability; not fortune, but the comforting normality of the middle class.
That’s why we’ve put together Asian Couple Monthly, an essential guide to the best in asian-coupling, brought to you by the quintessential Asian couple. Please enjoy responsibly.
