Adrianna Tan<p>Not lost on me that as birthright citizenship is being challenged today, it was because of Wong Kim Ark that we have it at all. </p><p>It’s AANHPI month, which we are celebrating at work. I complain these terms are arbitrary (and they are) but also they think we are all the same anyway. </p><p>While I can’t do a ton about national legislation, I can do a lot in my community. As an East Asian person, making space for South, Southeast and other Asians and NH (Native Hawaiian) and PI (Pacific Islander) people is absolutely what I want to do. I’m helping to organize some activities at work that spotlight other cultures in our alphabet soup. </p><p>Also RIP Henry Fuhrmann, whose exhortation to drop the hyphen in Asian-American vastly expanded and included people who can consider themselves Asian American. Undocumented people. People who don’t yet have citizenship, or won’t, or can’t.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AAPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AAPI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AANHPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANHPI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/14thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>14thAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Birthright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Birthright</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Immigration</span></a></p>
