Do leftist not see it as stupid to just put all Asians under one umbrella? This is the stupidest thing that the US managed to do, all blacks are one people, all whites are one evil people and now all Asians?
Wukong is Chinese, if I'm not mistaken, so why would a Japanese care about it? Let alone Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
If you are hyphened american and buy in to this identity being forced upon you that you are no longer of Chinese or Korean or whatever heritage then you've already lost your heritage. You are just wearing a marxist meaningless stamp that puts you in to an arbitrary box same as all other boxes.
I'm not an expert but it is widely known as a Chinese legend. It is popular in US as well but is still a Chinese legend. Would a Korean feel included just because they are Asian?
"All Asians are the same" is the one thing that actually pisses off Asians. Every Korean, Japanese and Chinese I've ever met bitched about how white people can't tell the difference, and had very derisive things to say about one of the other three.
Asians, especially college educated women tend to be on the leftist side so they will embrace what ever identity is thrown at them as long as they can claim victimhood points and being part of the cool side of history.
I've lost any hope of people realizing how nefarious marxism is, they claim diversity while they want no unique identity what so ever. Being Asian is meaningless outside a racist identity.

Yeah, Monkey King is very popular wherever China has had influence.

I see 'Asian American and Pacific Islander' now means 'Chinese'.
That's, uh.. not not going to go down well with many of them.
Dats racist yo
What the fuck do Asians and Pacific Islanders have in common?
They're vaguely near each other geographically. And are too small of a group to have much clout alone so they get chunked in with Asia.
This look like imperialists utilizing their colonial slaves indoctrinated with internalized racism to justify their culutural appropriation.
RAAAAAAAYCIST!
No please. As an american of chinese descent, i am apalled and offended.
