So, Joyce mentionedc "I think you take pride in being (something like more AMerican, I forget the exact quote already)"
Now thinking about it, I think it's really a matter of taking pride in being the oddball, no matter where I go. I mean, I will be here at Wash U, and in ACF I'm musically a renegade, in actions I'm still a little off the norm, and with people in general, yeah. Then back home, I make it a point when I'm with the friends (all white-Americans) to be as Asian as possible, bringing along all the music and food and culture I can without going all out insane.
It's a new sort of pride, pride at honestly not completely fitting in anywhere I go.
