But Where Are You Really From?: An Asian-American Struggle

42. Sibling Rivalry ft. Johnny Lin


Listen Later

Wait, did you know that your hosts are not related!?!

Yes, lifelong friends Jesse and Angela Lin belong to different Lin families! Jesse is an only child, and Angela has an actual brother - Johnny. He's our special guest this week where we talk about the sibling experience. Growing up in an Asian family can be complicated, but the dynamics of family size can make it downright dizzying.

From the pressures of being the "eldest male heir" to the loneliness of being an only child, we leave the sibling (or lack thereof) experience all out on the table. We also discuss how identity can be reflected differently even within the same family when one sibling was born in the motherland and immigrated to the US, and the other sibling was born and raised in the States. Listen in to this episode to hear more about the differences growing up in an Asian family with a sibling vs without.
