On the other side of the looking glass

I was reading Catfish, and i found it physically exhausting to just read this book. It was quite sad, because I'm Vietnamese American. Julianna told me, "you should be excited to read this book, because it's about Vietnamese people." What qualities define a Vietnamese person? From what i observed they are great hagglers, liars, and just really street smart. i have none of these qualities. Am i even Vietnamese? or am i just hiding behind a mask? What is my identity? what group do i belong to? I like to think i am vietnamese, because i speak the language, though not quite fluently, i know the culture, but not the history, love the food, but don't know how to make it.

Who am I.
