International usage
Asian pride is a broad term that can cover several topics. Within the international relations context, Asian pride can be seen within Asian politics as advancement of Pan-Asianism through heavy criticism of the West.[2][3]
United States
The pan-ethnicity Asian American concept is not embraced by many Asian Americans in the United States.[4]
Yellow Power
In the United States the term has older roots within the counter culture movement among Asian Americans in the 1960s.[1] During the period there was the Black Power movement, and Asian Americans seeing the impact it had on African-American culture and overall society, rejecting being called "Oriental" and the stereotype of the "yellow peril" used the term Asian Pride, along with "yellow power", to advance empowerment of Asian Americans.[1][5]
Hip Hop culture
A more modern usage of the term "Asian Pride" (also spelled AZN pride) the United States is a positive stance to being Asian American. The term arose from influences of hip hop culture within Asian American communities in the Western United States due to the creation of an Asian American pan-ethnicity (the concept was influenced in the late 20th century due to the influence of publications such as Yolk and Giant Robot magazines) that did not specify a specific ethnicity (such as Vietnamese, or Hmong).[6][7] One manifestation of this was the Got Rice? term, which spun off from the advertising campaign Got Milk?.[8] Younger Asian Americans are finding strength from their Asian identity.[9] Sometimes this arises due to being made to feel different from the prevalent culture surrounding the Asian American youth.[10]
The term can be used as a negative, being used to describe individuals who prefer only to have Asian American relationships with the exclusion of potential diverse relationships.[11] It has also been criticized as being primarily a marketing gimmick that "is wide open to model minority accusations."[12]
The term has been adopted by a few Filipino American gang members in Los Angeles, who used the term to assist them in their construction of their ethnic identity.[13] It has also been used as the name of a gang in Florida[14][15] and Colorado.[16]
