Blog Post 9: Disidentifications

Disidentify means not identify with something. For example, I’m Vietnamese and Chinese, and I was born and raised in Vietnam, both of my parents are mixed. When I was living there a few years ago, many people would disidentify or not consider that I’m Vietnamese just because I’m half Chinese. I remember going to school, and my friends always asked if I’m Vietnamese. If I tell them I was mixed, I will get bully.
