I may be more integrated since I don’t know any ABCs other than siblings. Have both Asian and non-Asian friends. Definitely notice cultural differences but can adapt easily to both.

Hi PwC 2, I’m in Atlanta

YUP ABC here too

The struggle is real.. how do you guys deal with it tho? Are most of your friends Asian, non-Asians, or other ABCs?

Yes, always.

I came to America when I was 3. Fobs don’t think I’m a fob, and I’m not exactly abc.

Most of my friends are somewhat the same as me, leaning more towards the abc side because our cultures are more similar.

Meee!!!

I never do this but I need some objective advice. My wife is 5mo pregnant and my sister is getting married. Wedding was adjusted because of COVID but she set the date knowing I might not be able to attend as I’d have to fly there. Now I’m conflicted because if I attend, I’d have to quarantine for 2 weeks away from my wife and miss a couple DR appts. I’m her only support where we live. Would be stressful for her but I’m getting immense pressure from my parents to attend the wedding. Advice?
