The first term I researched was from the title and it was misappropriation. I had an idea of what it meant after reading the title and when I looked it up it confirmed what I thought. This helped my understanding because it made me realize that he is making the point that not all immigrants are the same, and that there are differences among various Asian-Americans.
The next name I had prior knowledge of but I thought it was really important in the article and that was Ichiro. I remember when Ichiro came over to America to play and how it was such a big deal. People were constantly talking about how he would never be as good as he was when he was in Japan because baseball in America is a whole different game. There was much emphasis put on the fact that he was an Asian trying to play professional baseball.
