Why are many half-Asians in North America and Europe ashamed of their Asian heritage?

[True Believer]

It is common for half-Asians in North America and Europe to deny their Asian heritage. They may do so by even changing their surnames and dyeing their hair to look more Caucasian. Growing up in an environment where success, beauty and authority are almost exclusively associated with white people may lead to part-Asians distancing themselves from their Asian heritage while growing up. Many younger half-Asians are neither comfortable nor proud to claim both sides of their heritage.

to retain their heritage. surnames and asian heritage, they will continue to be 3rd class citizens below the Blacks ... affect their children too ... so to continue living there, they have to cut off all traces of asian heritage and resemblance so that locals can no longer class them inside the 3rd class citizen bracket ... pitiful but bobian ... its their choice of life.

Why these idiots want to hide under a facade
I walk around as I am and everyone will comment and shower praises on me as one of the best looking guys around
The problem with name changing is when you knowingly change your name to fit in and to be accepted
But for me the people in my village by Lake Victoria Uganda blessed me with an African name of Sikodolauka and I accepted because it made them very happy

lol
