“American Born Chinese” Celebrates Authentic Chinese-American Heritage - She has on so much makeup that Bozo the Clown would be resentful. Jin Wang, though at times unlikable, breaks the archetype of Asian-American sidekick seen in other comics and graphic novels.

American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang puts a new exploration of identity through the perspective of Jin Wang, a young Chinese-American student who navigates the second-generation life while grappling with bullying, dating, and friendships. Though his parents do not play a large role in the graphic novel, they are perceived as having a greater connection to China and the Chinese culture, by speaking Mandarin at home and using Chinese medicinal cures. The graphic novel is one of the first of its kind, telling a story from a Chinese-American point of view and having been written by one, as well. Jin Wang, though at times unlikable, breaks the archetype of Asian-American sidekick seen in other comics and graphic novels. Unlike some of the other Asian and Asian-American comic book characters, like Glenn Rhee from The Walking Dead, or Kato from The Green Hornet, who are more secondary characters to a non-Asian lead, Jin is the protagonist of the graphic novel. Regardless of ethnicity, the unifying themes of bullying, unrequited love, and familial embarrassment make him empathetic. The Search for Identity The symbolic representation of Jin accepting his Chinese-American heritage in changing from his alter-ego, Danny, back to himself. The Monkey King is an analogy for the perception of equality that all children have before race is introduced and social norms are taught. When talking with the other kings, the Monkey King views him no different from anyone else. After he is shunned from a gathering because he is a monkey, he tries to assimilate to the humans by dressing in a human fashion, walking like a human, and practicing Kung Fu. He changes size to be more human like and gets trapped; the only way to escape is to revert back to his monkey size. The Monkey King follows a similar growth as Jin. Only after others note their differences do they become preoccupied with assimilating. After they assimilate though, there is a black-and-white view of identity, that by being human or American, you have to reject the life you grew up with. However, they eventually come to accept themselves and see value in their background and the characteristics that make them unique. In a conversation between Jin and his Taiwanese friend, Wei-Chen, Jin demonstrates a hierarchy between American culture and Asian-American cultures. As with other ethnicities, Yang explores the dichotomized identity of being an American with a different cultural background. Chin-Kee speaks broken English, is obsessed with getting an American wife with large breasts, and the stereotype of straight-A student. Seen between the interactions with the Caucasian students and Chin-Kee, the person with the greatest disdain for Chin-Kee and his quirks is Jin. Juggling Stereotypes The Asian-American Stereotypes in American Born Chinese However, the narrative is not exclusive to Asian-Americans. The setting is a predominantly white-suburb and the juxtaposition of Jin and the two other Asian students, a Taiwanese boy and a Japanese-American girl demonstrate the micro-aggressions that persist to this day. Several students ask if they eat dog. Jin and the Japanese-American girl, the only other Asian-American student when he first arrives, are asked if they are related since they are both Asian-American. However, as the children become teenagers, Jin meets people more open-minded and accepting of cultural differences. As a Caucasian-American studying Asian and Asian-American relations, the graphic novel not only made me deeply empathize with the Jin Wang, but also check my privilege. The nuances between the American subcultures are heightened and exotified, while the mainstream culture that I grew up it has never been questioned nor have I ever had to defend it. However, the problems of minority oppression still persist in the devaluation of cultural norms. Instead of viewing Asian-American culture as a part of American culture, it is still viewed as a distinct sub and, at times, counter-culture. Chinese-Americans have a fusion culture that is celebrated in the graphic novel but, moreover, an enriching culture that needs to be better acknowledge and celebrated by other ethnicities. Characters like Jin represent the Chinese-American experience. From his own experiences, Yang gives his character justice with the complexity and at times, contradictory behavior. He breaks the stereotypes of Chinese-American characters, while acknowledging they exist, an highlights the authentic voice of a conflicted child. If I had a chance to meet an middle school teacher or a high school English teacher, I will urge them to introduce American Born Chinese into their lessons. What Jin experienced applies to all what children of immigrant parents including myself as a Haitian American commonly experience. I am usually not into graphic novels, and so I was skeptical when I started American Born Chinese, but after completing it I was pleasantly surprised. It is so interesting to see how Gene Luen Yang brings ancient Chinese lore to a modern, relatable situation. The molding of all three story-lines into one is cleverly done and I highly suggest this novel to anyone with a little bit of free-time! The themes you pointed out in this article were among my favorites discussed in the book.
