7－SUBTLE ASIAN TRAITS IS MY ELEMENT FT. ALEX (INDONESIAN-EUROPEAN CANADIAN DIASPORA)

Send us a text

Alex is an Indonesian Canadian living in Canada, studying International Relations. His parents have an interesting background compared to our typical diaspora Asian immigrant parents. Both his parents are Indonesians that were born and raised in Europe that had Alex in Indonesia before moving the whole family to Canada where they live now.

In the episode, we talked a lot about Alex's experience growing up in an Asian majority area of Canada (Markham) and his unique family background and how that led to some interesting questions and thoughts for him in terms of his identity/culture and his overall "Asian-ness" . We also talked about our thoughts on Subtle Asian Traits and how Alex feels comfortable in the Subtle Asian Traits bubble in terms of his identity as Diaspora Asian. Last, we also talked a lot about Asian geopolitical issues.
