As much as the rise of Hallyu, or South Korean media, has benefited the global population’s appreciation for Korean culture, it has also unintentionally pushed a single narrative onto Koreans. Ever since the hit song “Gangnam Style” topped the charts back in 2012, South Korea has been heavily associated…

What is a community you identify with?

As an international student living and studying in the US, which shares a few similarities with Chinese cultures, life track has completely been twisted, leading us to a new phase. Stereotypes seem to be everywhere, bothering us from time to time. It left me an…

The Hmong Community

The Hmong community is one not well known in the world. Everytime I say I am Hmong, I also have to explain that the Hmong are an ethnic group originally from southern China. Being half Hmong, I do not encounter the same obstacles that other Hmong people may face. My mother is a Hmong refugee…

'Woman' as a Prefix

I am five, shuffling underneath my big-kid-sized backpack while waiting for the rest of my kindergarten class to arrive — already, the boys and the girls polarize to either side of the classroom, the boys giggling to each other and whispering murmurs of ‘cooties’.

Being a Chinese International Student: Unwanted by our Home Country

Being born and raised in mainland China, I am part of the Chinese international student community in the U.S. There is a “single story” on the Chinese internet about Chinese students who study abroad, especially…

I identify with the martial arts community, as I have been studying the Korean martial art of Tang Soo Do for the past 12 years. A single story for this community is that the main practitioners are strong, masculine men. While martial arts is objectively a male-dominated sport, that history makes it more…

Ancillary 1：The myth of the Chinese international schooled

As a kid, the idea of going to an international school is always daunting, almost like a horror story. Whenever our class advisor announce that a student had transferred to an international school, you hear a collective gasp…

Atheists are, by our own definition, godless. Technically, I personally am an atheist-leaning agnostic, but atheism tends to be the more commonly understood term that describes my philosophy. I digress. I am part of the atheist community, and the atheist community is a peculiar one in that we are bonded by…

Born and raised in China, the tag “Chinese” has been assigned to me ever since I was created in this world. According to a demographic report, Han Chinese (which specifically I originated from) is by far the largest group in the world, and Mandarin is the world’s most spoken language because of the huge…

Native Americans

A community that I identify with is just being a Native American. As a Native American we have been facing diversity since the 16th century. Starting from Christopher Columbus claiming he and the Europeans were the first to discover America before anyone. Since that point on from the arrival of the…

Stereotypes to China

I come from a country that has the longest history in the world and it is also the only existing ancient civilization that was not disrupted or destroyed by war or natural disaster, China. As a Chinese student who studies in the U.S., the most common question that people ask me is related to…

One of the most important factors that helped to identify me was being a part of the homeschooling community as it was a big part of my life. This specific community and society’s misconceptions of it have had a large influence into partly shaping me into the person I am today. There are an abundant amount…

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test has become popular in recent times, and it associates the person with one personality type out of the sixteen types after the test. The outcome then allows people to reflect on who they are and associate themselves with a community to which they may belong.

Moving out of state for college drove me to arrive at a shocking realization: people actually believed the stereotypes of the South. Before August 2021, Dallas, Texas was the only place I had ever lived. But my experience in Texas did not mirror what someone who has never visited the state might imagine. I…

My Community

“There is a certain sort of familiarity that you have with [fellow international students],” Theis said in an interview with The Ithacan. Like me, She’s an international student studying abroad at an American university. International students have a reputation for being exclusive. While I agree with…

I have always identified with the business/entrepreneurial community. Ever since I was in elementary school, I’ve been involved in business ventures with either myself or my family. I started out by reselling various items at school, then eventually turned my entrepreneurial spirit into creating a clothing brand…

Opened Eyes

Having lived in four different cities and attended 6 schools before coming to the University of Southern California, I was exposed to many diverse ideas and belong to many communities. A community I identify with is the anime community. Anime is a form of film or television created in the Eastern Asia…

All-Girls School = Drama?

“All-girls school must be a toxically competitive environment.” “All-girls school must be full of bullying and dramas.” These are all common judgments I have heard about all-girls school. In fact, before attending an all-girls high school, that was exactly how I assumed my high…

The community I personally perceive most clearly is as a Chinese international student. As an international student who has been living in the United States for over 6 years. Different single stories about my community are repeated by different people, depend on where the people come from. People from…

Is Video Game Really Bad?

For me, a community represents people with the same or many common characteristics and preferences. For example, I consider myself a member of a game-playing community. Children born in the 21st century are lucky. Technology is advancing so fast that it has only been a decade since…

One community with which I identify would be the gym community. A large and inclusive community, often assumptions are made about the types of people that hit the gym, including a variety of stereotypes. In general, the “single story” that is often told about this community is one of substance use or of…

A Single Story of Wuhan

People in America asked me where I am from when I initially arrived. Most of them had no idea that Wuhan was a city in central China until I informed them about it. They will be really happy to learn about my hometown’s appearance, as well as some of the local cuisine and tourist…
