Well, i'm not Asian, so sorry if my word doesn't hold much stock. But, my stepmother is Asian (making my bro and sis half Asian) so this is just from observation. They aren't "Asian American" yet (still live overseas) but... from what i've noticed - Asian's have just as many "life struggles" as any other culture. How they cope may be a bit more private but I don't necessarily think thats a good thing all the time either. I was raised in an African American culture where mental illness is considered either "normal behavior" or a "stigma" so... I get the feeling of being isolated. Overall though, our family looks like the United Nations (i'm mixed race, we also have AA, Asian, White American, Kenyan, Italian, Hispanic - all in the immediate family), and i've seen each and every one of us struggle in our own way.
