PANEL - Growing Up Asian in Australia

Asian-Australians are known to each other and the outside world by many labels: Quiet Achiever. FOB. Gangster Chigger. Mainlander. Banana. Yet are these labels based on some degree of truth, or only fiction? What is it like to grow up Asian in Australia? Alice Pung discusses Growing Up Asian in Australia with contributors Annette Shun Wah, Sunil Badami and Oliver Phommavanh.
