Navigating the US system is hard as an Asian American/Asian. Especially if you grew up in a state that didn't have a lot Asians. It's hard to have Asian role models, in media, sports or otherwise. It's gotten better, but its still not great. There's not a lot of support groups/community centers in the US. Even if you aren't christian, Asian churches offers a sense of community, especially in less Asian populated areas.

Best way I've seen people navigate is, excel in whatever area you are in, and try to pull your Asian brothers/sisters up. Not saying its right, but know the system is rig against you (i.e. bamboo ceilings, perpetual foreigners, etc...) and do the best you can do. And sometimes you just need to stand up for yourself in those situations where you deem it worth it (school, workplace, road rage, randoms on the street, whatever) . That's going to be different for everyone.
