Asian lesbian struggle

Being a visible minority is when people can look at you and actually see you as a minority. For example the writer is chinese therefore she is a visible minorirty. Being a invisible minoirty is being a lesbian, you can't visibly see that this person is a lesbian but in reality they are. What is means to stick to your own kind is not going outside the box and just staying with the people you are most comfortable with. This may be hanging out with all chinese people if you are chinese or hanging out with all christian people if you are christian. I believe people stick to there own kind because they fear what other people may think of them. Also, like the author people may fear what there parents say about these people of a different kind. My roomate for example has a minister as a father. And I know that if he where to bring say a gay friend back to his house or a muslim his dad would not like that. She is struggling with branching out and becoming an open lesbian. Also, she struggles with losing her culture her parents want het to keep. They fear that she will lose the chinese culture. I feel that I do not have to change my identity to fit in because my friends will except me how I am. However, when i went to college last year in Oklahoma I felt that I had to act a litle bit more southern to fit in. such as not wearing certain clothing or acting in a certain way to feel accepted.
