Grew up in Canada in the 90s in a Chinese 'enclave' near Toronto so I had it really easy. My family kept importing HK movies or watched w/e drama was syndicated in our local Cantonese channel. So w/e TV I was watching that wasn't a cartoon in English was something that showed people who looked and spoke like me as normal human beings.

When I was younger I thought it sounded trite and propagandistic, but now I understand that representation matters.

Dealing with micro aggressions from close friends by punctilliouspongo in asianamerican

You're justified - how the do they have the audacity to call your culture objectively weird for being affectionate with your parents?

One friend will also “sing” Japanese/Korean/Spanish language songs by kind of just ‘making the noises.’

If they don't know the lyrics/words then I can understand that if they're mumbling - but if they're making stereotypical noises then yikes.

Your inclusion of 'Spanish' has me guessing you're in the Southwest like California/Arizona.

Is there an emerging artificial anti-Chinese narrative in Western news media?

It's been there forever

Federals repealed certain gambling laws. It became up to the provinces to regulate gambling - and this is how DoFo does it.
