    Stories about sensitive topics regarding East/Southeast Asian problems, issues many East/Southeast Asians (especially overseas East/Southeast Asians) can relate to, information to educate people about East & Southeast Asian cultures, and my personal stories regarding my Southeast Asian identity. If you are against racism, this might be a perfect story to read. Non-East/Southeast Asian readers are welcomed to read as long as you're sympathetic of other races and don't act like you're East/SE Asian when you're not even and PLEASE do not divert the conversation by mentioning non-East/Southeast Asian racism because you're implying East/Southeast Asian problems are trivial if you do that (Racism is not a competition. Nobody has it worse than others). Also don't act like you know more about East/Southeast Asian cultures more than actual East/Southeast Asians do.
        
        Note: this book tackles with mostly the Southeast and East Asian issues. Also, the author is East/Southeast Asian herself (Obviously because why would someone write a book about racial struggles that aren't their own?) so do not assume the author generalizes, stereotypes, and is racist towards East/Southeast Asians. Don't like this? Don't read.
        
        Just to clear misunderstandings: Southeast =\= Sout
