"This is a group that disproportionately feels their history and culture is being stolen, exploited and taken over by the *dominant* culture for unlicensed monetary gain."

Awkwafina also believes that today's society often uses culture as a debate. The actress whose full name is Nora Lum admitted that she grew up and lived in America for a long time. That's why, he is dominant with American culture despite having Asian blood.

"This is a problem that we still see today. In life, acculturation of linguistics, acculturation of immigrants, and the influence of social media are unavoidable," he continued. "My immigrant background has allowed me to carve out an American identity from the movies and tv shows I watch and my love and respect for hip hop. I think, as a group, Asian Americans are still trying to figure out who they are or what's not. they can do."

"But, as a non-Black POC, I stick to the fact that I will always listen to and care about the AAVE culture," he stressed. "But I must stress that mocking, belittling, or being unkind in any way possible at the expense of others is: Simple. No. My nature. Never was, and never was."
